Orioles release Domingo Leyba

[Legend_Of_Joey]

I didn’t see this anywhere else. I guess he got squeezed out.

Leyba had a great opportunity, and he did not capitalize on it. Too bad.

Its the opposite of New York, where if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

If you can't make it on the 2021 O's, maybe you should give up baseball.

.818 OPS. Must’ve been an attitude problem. Prior PED suspension 

[Hazmat]

There goes my hopes for a Plascencia to Leyba double play tandem.

Can't figure this one out, maybe another move coming?

Was he released to make room for Burdie? Bbref has us at 40 with Burdie and no Leyba.

That could be it, yeah.

That’s not it. Hartman was DFA’ed to make room on the 40 for Burdi. Leyba had been removed from it already on August 8th.

Maybe it's that Leyba isn't very good.

If that is all it takes half the 40 man would be gone.

Well, there is that...  Guess you gotta start somewhere.

The truth is really painful right now.

With Bannon back and playing 3B, Gutierrez, Jones and Valiaka, there was really no place to play him and after 126 major league PAs where you slash .152/.238/.223/.461, you aren't getting any priority play.

That's fair. I'm not too concerned. Just like I'm not too concerned when Guiterrez and Valiaka leave. Right now, of the lot, Bannon and Jones are the only ones I care about getting any playing time.
