Perhaps the only surprise is how many DSL guys were sent packing, which probably shouldn’t be now that pushing them stateside has a real cost in terms of counting against the lower cap on rostered players.

It’s also consistent with another thing I’ve noticed over the past four seasons: Release information is now given up much more freely, especially during the regular season when it used to be that a guy was put on the 7-day I.L. then never heard from again.

We now return you to the Sunday before Thanksgiving, where the Sunday scaries are compounded by the existential dread of dinner with your low-information relatives on Thursday.
