Yep just looked that up. He does have an option. In which case, I’m fine with the move.

Vespi certainly has been treated like chattel this year.

I don’t think he does have an option.

It's almost September.  We're running out of time to fix people.

I would rather keep Vespi.

Vespi seems like a much more useful asset to the Orioles right now than yet another right-handed reclamation project with walk and HR issues that has thrown a grand total of 6.2 MLB innings since the end of the 2021 season.

I really don't like this move, even if Kriske K's a lot of dudes.

Maybe more news.

maybe just in case

I really hope that doesn't mean one of our current OFs is injured.

Kriske's third option has been used in 2024.   He is now on a major league contract and added to the 40 man roster.   He has been optioned to AAA.

So FG is wrong and they can option him ?

[LookitsPuck]

Vespi hasn’t exactly been great in AAA this year. Has an 18.00 ERA since middle of July. So guessing this was strictly a scenario where they wanted upside of a righty with strikeout stuff than a guy like Vespi who when on is solid but when he’s off he’s cannon fodder. They also have enough lefties.

It always kind of weird when the 3rd option is used.   A player can be called up to the majors and optioned 5 times in a season.   Some sites show 1 option and some show 0 after the  3rd option is exercised.  

It's pretty clear in the transactions that the Reds optioned him on June 17th.    If he was optioned once he can be option 4 more times this season.   3 now that the O's optioned him.
