Rays are calling up MLB’s #1 prospect(Wander Franco). Will MLB’s #2 prospect(Adley) be next?

I know one doesn’t have anything to do with the other but it would be nice. 

[Il BuonO]

Idk, what are they gonna do, cut Severino?

No, this has been discussed. It does nothing for this year. It starts his clock early. There is zero reason to bring him up early other than maybe selling some tickets.

Not true.

No

I don’t think we should call up Adley, but I do think we should call up a competent catcher, a better third baseman, and make no mistake any third baseman in the system would be no worse, and some other players who could help the team without precious service time being an issue

I don't think it would move the needle at all on ticket sales.

Norfolk will be happy to hear this. Franco has destroyed their pitching this year. 
 

Franco and Vlad Jr are going to be a pain to deal with for the next few years.

Getting major league reps would definitely be helpful to a player who is ready like AR. Service time games are not about whether a player is ready for MLB.

If we're lucky maybe the Rays will trade Franco in a few years following their low payroll philosophy.

And further reload their farm system (Still ranked #1) for the next decade.

True, I'm just hoping the Orioles figure out that part so rebuilds don't take a decade in the future.

No he isnt coming up in 2021 at all.   This has been the plan all along and Elias has shown no signs of deviating from it.

But impatient Orioles fans want to see Adley now and shorten our window of opportunity. Impatient Orioles fans are like kids touring Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. They want their candy NOW!

[Moose Milligan]

Excited to see Franco.  He's been killing it in AAA.
