That’s an aggregator. MLBTR has an article on it that links to McCalvys deleted tweet too. It’s probably still Jones, and McCalvy maybe just said it before the team wanted him to, but until it’s not an aggregator pointing to his report, there’s still a chance it’s changed.

McCalvy deleted his tweet that Jones is coming up. I wonder if they’ve changed their minds and are making a different promotion?

This tweet has been deleted. I wonder if they changed their mind on who is coming up?

I stand corrected on Turang

Yes the 8th, as Crochet was still in to face Ortiz in the 7th. It doesn’t make sense to me how after having a day off on Thursday, no game Friday, and a day off coming again on Thursday that a couple of professional athletes at their peak cannot bat once and play 1-2 innings in the field. You can’t say the mantra is “Win today” and refuse to hit two of your best matchups vs a righty in game 11, with a day off coming in 24 hours.

What is Murph doing not hitting Bauers and Turang there? Can’t save them for the 9th against Chapman. I don’t understand why he’s not pinch hitting after stacking these lineups for the lefty starter.

That AB is the one that Mitchell needs to remove from his game to have sustainable success. Really brutal.

I would assume Drohan pitches today and/or tomorrow, then gets optioned for Gasser to start on Wednesday.

Gasser was optioned to AAA on 3/22. Unless the clock starts on opening day, he would be eligible.

That feels like really poor situational strategy. Bunting Lockridge to get Sanchez to 3rd and Perkins/Ortiz to the plate makes very little sense.

Our biggest weakness is the existence of the Dodgers.

He won’t be down long if Gary Sanchez keeps just inexplicably missing baseballs behind the dish.

Does he have to go onto the 40 man roster now with this deal, or only when he first gets called up? It would seem to me that this is a major league deal meaning he has to join the 40 now.

According to FanGraphs, Koenig still has 2 options remaining. So whether it’s an IL stint or just starting the season in the minors to manage workload and figure out what the issue is, they have multiple paths they can take.

I hope Koenig is not the new Bryan Hudson
