Tomorrow is opening day, and as usual, the Nats are on track to be one of (if not the) last organizations to reveal its 2021 roster assignments. Consequently, I probably will be unable to do much more than post a link to them as they come in, given that I’ll be busy at my actual …
Yesterday, I bought tickets to a minor-league game – Down East vs. Carolina in Kinston – which, weather permitting, will be the first one I’ve attended since this one in 2019. Technically, that’s only a little more than 20 months, but it feels much, much longer. As noted in the comments, MiLB teams have to …
The last two installments from FanGraphs came in December 2018 and December 2019, which seems so much longer than 16 months ago. Yesterday, the 2021 edition was released. I’d say “quietly,” but these days a mouse peeing on a cotton ball is louder than anything about the minors that’s not draft- or college-related. Before I …
The good news is that there’s been a little something to justify posts as we hit 596 days since the minors stopped. The bad news that thing has been injuries, with Juan Soto being the latest casualty. That precipitated the following moves: OF Yadiel Hernandez recalled from the ATS RHP Ryne Harper optioned to the …
The Nats’ Jaguar RHP Stephen Strasburg went in the shop on the I.L. while the parade of injured relievers continues. Let’s catch up on the transactions over the past four days or so.
| PLACED ON 10-DAY I.L. | RECALLED FROM ATS | OUTRIGHTED TO THE ATS |
| • RHP Stephen Strasburg | • RHP Paolo Espino | • C Jonathan Lucroy |
| • RHP Wander Suero | • RHP Ryne Harper | ELECTED FREE AGENCY |
| • LHP Luis Avilán | • RHP Kyle McGowin | • C Jonathan Lucroy |
It’s rather telling that with Avilán contracting Nats’ elbow that we have heard almost nothing about Seth Romero, who would seem to be an option as either a reliever or a starter – especially with the dearth of southpaws. Unless, of course, there’s something (physically) wrong with him…
Yep. We’re still waiting for things to pick up ’round here. There’s still time, but I’m now starting to think the minors may stick with its placeholder league names for 2021. I hope I’m wrong, but if our local teams are any indication, maybe they’re fine with leaving money on the table… at least until …
