So that's a second person getting DFAed off the 40 on our end. No one else can go on the 60 day unless it's Brantley.
Urquidy?

He's been terrible in AAA this year and not great in the big last season. He's a semi-high spin guy. He fits the M.O. of fastball that doesn't drop as much as everyone else. Throws a decent cutter & sweeper too. Seems like a longshot.

Urquidy?
Can we retroactively put him on it?

I think so. That would be the only reason they'd do it with Brantley since it sounds like he's on his way back. I think the retroactive time restrictions for the IL only apply to the 10-day version.

Yes. But if he's coming back this season that's a temporary move at best. And the move to bring Madris up hasn't been made either. That's another 40 man move.

True. Maybe we'll have some deals worked out by July to free up spots.

Looks like it was just cash on the trade.

Urquidy last pitched 4/30 so now he can't come back until 6/30. But that's no big deal.

Brantley, well whatever.

If either of them are coming back this year these moves are temporary. Once they come back (if they come back) something will have to give.

Plus Ohtani leaves and signs with their cross town rival in a few months. Would be brilliant.

The Mets are the Angels of the National League. Bad spending habits with disappointing results

I don't mind him playing against lefties/fastball dominant righties but if this is Dusty turning over a new leaf, I'll allow it!

I honestly would rather Abreu and Dubon play 1st/DH, bat Abreu 9th and put Diaz at catcher. Maldy needs to see the bench.

Maldy will stop playing when he's no longer on the team.

Maldy isn't gonna get benched as long as he is under contract

the Astros gave Abreu 300 plate appearances...

and then Dana said that was enough

he never pulled out of the slump -- just had a hot 10-game stretch

moving forward with Dubon and Yanier at 1B

As much as I would love for this to happen, there is no way they're going to sit Abreu with his contract unless it is being forced on Dusty. Maybe it is but this seems to me more like a extend rest off to let him regroup and not "sit yo ass down, scrub"

I'm surprised that Abreu has gotten the last 2 games off

(Wednesday and tonight)

he hasn't sat 2 games-in-a-row all season

The Orioles front office people are from the Astros school of analytics so they saw the same spin this tweet points out and still got rid of him.

Orioles do have a better prospect pool, so 40 man space is more valuable, just a guess.

Kiner-Falafel just stole 2nd, thought he was out, and was tagged out jogging back to the dugout.

Astros related because **** the Yankees and IKF is a moron.

He has also been used exclusively as a starter. His best innings as a starter were the second and third inning thrown. He was garbage in the 4th onward. Perhaps they think they can reinvent him as a reliever? He also sucked in the first but that's typically a starter's worst inning because they can't go all out warming up knowing they have to go 5 or 6 innings.

Stanton has been awful since coming back from the IL. Something like 4 for 48 with 19 Ks after this last AB

Cracked open a fresh bottle of BT. Gunna pour one out for TP then watch the Astros beat down LA again. Its too bad LMJ isn't healthy enough to go. He's always good vs them and shoved right after the "scandal".
