Sad to see the releases. I wish these guys well, hope they stay in baseball, and pray they beat the odds and make The Show in some capacity, even if it’s as management or data guy.
On the subject of players getting their release and yet making it to the Show: anyone notice Juan Jaime making his MLB debut for Atlanta vs the Nats this weekend? Anyone remember him from the Nats system 4 or 5 years ago? I seem to remember 100+mph! but control issues and ultimately Tommy John….
Congratulations Juan Jaime, and I pray that you will be able to remain in The Show! And throw meatballs to the Washington Nationals!
