Regarding Lester, shouldn't he still have options?  He started in pro ball in 2015, but he didn't get called up to the big leagues until last year, when the Tigers gave him his debut. 

So surely he's only used one option?  If so, we don't need to DFA him when we send him back down.

I think the real issue is do you want him taking up a slot on the 40 man?

Basically Elias saying he can pass this guy through waivers later. He has been hitting in AAA though

Lester has options. If there is a reason maybe it is wanting to keep everyone other than Lester available? If we lose him for 10 days no big deal. We don't need a reliever today so he can go back down after the game.

If he was on the 40 man roster any of the years prior to 2022, and spent the entire season in the minors, then he used an option that year too.

I would not be surprised to see Mountcastle sit tomorrow. 

I agree. Last night Hyde said he gave Mountcastle the night off because he's been "scuffling." So he didn't describe it as just a regular night off.

Doubtful we see Tate this year. 

Right flexor forearm strains that need to be shut back down typical end up seeing a surgeon for TJ surgery. It may be surprising to see him next year if they don't go ahead and get it over with.

As someone who likes Tate alot, this is depressing to think about. I guess I'm going to have to go back to 2022 and watch some of his highlights or the game that I still have recorded in order to see him play. Because I'm also getting the same feeling as you guys... I'm not sure we will get to see him play (and at a competitive level) this season.

Here is a guess:   Kjerstad is being promoted to AAA on Monday.  Taking Lester's spot.   So they promote Lester to the majors as a reward.   Even if it will not last long.

Just a guess.

Just saw Cowser is back with the Tides.

They still need to save a spot for Hudson Haskin to return from his Bowie rehab assignment. But I don't think it matters because there doesn't seem to be roster limitations in the minor leagues like there are in the Major League Active Roster and Secondary (40 Man) Roster. I could be wrong though.

This makes sense and I’d be curious to know why that wasn’t done this past offseason. 
 

I’m assuming that they thought rehab was a good way to go but that seems to have backfired. Go ahead and get it over with, I agree.

But isn't Lester a 3B and Diaz is the 1B? Unless 2 of Gunnar or Urias and Ortiz are not available this doesn't add up.

    • Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.
    • This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.
    • These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.  
    • There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.
    • I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.  
    • It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.
    • The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
