What regulations does MLB have in place?  Like, do these guys just go on a "restricted" list for a few days, then can re-join the team?

Quote

As part of a recently-struck collective bargaining agreement that will allow for the 2022 season to begin, M.L.B. and the players’ union agreed that players who cannot enter Canada because of their vaccination status will temporarily go on the league’s restricted list, where salary and service time are not awarded, according the league. (Service time is what determines players’ eligibility for salary arbitration and free agency.)

Good on them in my opinion. Canada sucks anyway.

Is there any recent source for this? I know we can look at past seasons and guess but these things change. There was a bunch of hubbub about Judge not traveling to Toronto but ultimately he did. 
 

Without a source there’s nothing to discuss other than the politics angle which will get the thread locked.

I thought the Canadian vaccine policy would end up being a major advantage for the Blue Jays this year.  If you can exclude several players from another team every time you play a home game, it should be a huge advantage.  I know there have been starters who couldn't pitch because of not getting vaccinated (Boston and probably others).  Maryland just needs to become a separate country.  Restrictions on people over 6'6".  No Judge in Baltimore.

Snutchy made the right call to stop this for a bit because clearly some of you can't help yourselves. Again, if you want to talk about what the Orioles will do without the players on the field, great. Any comments about the players decision will be deleted or the vaccine will be dinged and deleted.

Thank you for your cooperation as we focus on the Orioles on the field activities with no politics.

Tony..do you think they would call up Stowers for this series and if so, do you think they would do it with the intention of sending him back down or would they just do a rotation with everyone?

Put another way..if Stowers is able to get into the lineup 3-5 times a week (which would be easy I think), is that enough to bring him up for good?

It's an interesting thought. If Stowers was on the 40-man it would be a no brainer, but we know how Elias has been with bringing guys up if they're real prospects and not on the 40-man. 

I think Stowers, if he's eligible to go, would be a great idea if one of the players that can't go is one of the starting outfielders.

      Adley's health this season

      By clapdiddy · Posted

      Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      Adley's health this season

      By interloper · Posted

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.

      One interesting thing is I think he homered later that game and it was his last for a while.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By interloper · Posted

      Roster-wise and money-availability-wise, yes, the Orioles are the best fit of the 30 teams.  Location-wise and track-record-of-spending-wise, not so much.  I kind of think SF is the team. Posey just meddled in the terrible signing of Chapman, as former player GMs often do, and I could see him going hard after a big signing and overpaying like hell for him.
