Hold the Mayo?

Don't worry.  Mayo is right on the cusp. Right on the tip of their tongues. Any day now.

I prefer the Ronnie Milsap version if I'm being honest but that one gets a ton of play.

He's coming dont worry.

At least Mayo knows the exact date he will get called up.  He doesn't have to stress and wait around for a phone call.

Gives the media department a deadline to have his hype video ready.

Honestly I think if Henderson wasn't in a brain melting defensive slump Mayo might be up.

I have come around on the idea that the only reason Mayo isn’t getting called up is to keep his ROY chances alive for next year. I think we see him on August 31 or whatever the date is. Is it the right decision? I don’t know. If Urias can hold down 3rd base for the month of August and Mayo wins ROY next year I guess it is. 
 

There really isn’t any other reason for him not to be headed to Cleveland right now.

I honestly don’t have a problem with this.  Urias is hitting well and helps stabilize the left side of the infield.  
 

It’s also playing the long game with Mayo’s rookie status.  We are trying to be competitive for the long haul.  
 

It’s also probably best not to have both Holliday and Mayo making their adjustments at the same time.

Roch says in this article that Soto is the move for Westburg and Mayo is staying in Norfolk.

I wonder if they have a quota of sorts on the number of young guys on the major league team. There were those rumblings a few days ago about the tension between the old guard versus new guard. Even if the younger guys are clearly more talented, there's a case that they're more prone to making mistakes or getting overwhelmed when in high leverage spots. If they do want to limit the amount of young guys, Mayo might be the odd man out with Jackson just getting the call.

I agree. Too many defensive meltdowns in the infield right now to bring in what is considered a somewhat suspect glove to play alongside Gunnar. Mayo will get called up, but it will be timed to keep his rookie eligibility for 2025.

Yeah. It's not the worst thing in the world. Holliday is here and that's fun. Elias could have used Maton instead of Holliday or something but chose the fun option.

And I am nervous about our defense, so I can definitely understand this move.
