And he did by using his best offspeed pitch (changup) only 5 out of his 40 pitches. There is more on him in his 2024 page that Frobby started in the minor league section.

Vespi out

What is the difference between being reassigned and optioned?
 

very annoyed, and will be even more annoyed if Wong makes it.

Is there some kind of rule in Mike’s playbook that says some washed up veteran must be on the roster at all times?

People who aren't on the 40 man roster are re-assigned.   People who are on the 40 man roster are optioned.

Wong said he will opt out if not on roster.

Yup.  After all, the Odor/Frasier/Wong of the baseball world is the glue that holds it all together!!!  It doesn't matter that there are better, more talented players in AAA, we MUST have veteranosity on the roster at all times!!!!

At least Wong is cheap and can be DFA'd easier than an $8 million Frazier.

Based on the moves it's looking like McKenna and Nevin actually have a shot at making the cut. And it looks like the bullpen has been set with Akin, Webb, Baumann, and Tate most likely filling out 4 of those spots.

Cowser has been told he is making the team to go north.

It will be interesting to see how often he plays. He could play nearly every day if Hyde is willing to rotationally sit Hays/Mullins/Santander/O’Hearn/Mounty

If you platoon O’Hearn/Mountcastle, then Santander is your DH and that opens up an everyday spot for Cowser in RF. This is what I’d like to see although hard to imagine Mountcastle being reduced to the weak side of a platoon.
