6/06/23 | Red Sox cut 13 players from 40-man roster; how are Matt Barnes, Franchy Cordero, others doing?. Throughout the offseason, much was made about the series of tough roster decisions the Red Sox had to make as they remade their 40-man group for 2023. As free agents were added and trades were made, surprising calls were made as chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom cut ties with veterans like Eric Hosmer and Matt Barnes and once-promising prospects like Jeter Downs, Darwinzon Hernandez and Connor Seabold. Two months into the season, are any of the Red Sox' tough winter cuts coming back to bite them? Barnes has emerged as a middle/late inning option for Miami and has been pitching somewhere between the sixth and eighth innings. Source: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2023/06/red-sox-cu... |

5/05/23 | Prospblocking Cubs Have a Mervis Breakdown.
As you might've heard, Matt Mervis was called up, but, more incredibly, Eric Hosmer grounded into a double play while he was sitting on a bench. Those boos aren't from fans for Eric Hosmer; they are boos from Eric Hosmer because he's a ghost of his former self. This is funny in a "how stupid am I" way: So, I saw Christian Encarnacion-Strand posted himself on Instagram in a Reds uniform, then deleted it, so that means he's coming, right? Of course! So, I dropped Matt Mervis for CES. Hey, if you can't laugh at me, at least cry with me. Welp, I just gave you my Matt Mervis fantasy last week. Not much to add. I mean, there's a lot to add, like Matt Mervis for one! Hopefully this waiver claim goes through dropping CES. I'm so stupid! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball: Source: https://razzball.com/matt-mervis-2023-fantasy-base... |
5/03/23 | Chicago Cubs have no reason to keep Edwin Rios in the Majors. It's clear he's ready for the big leagues and the team isn't running their best 26 guys unless they have him in tow. Considering he's a first baseman, it makes sense then that fans would turn their ire to veteran Eric Hosmer as the guy to cut bait with in order to bring Mervis up. Whatever you feel about that decision, there's actually an easier solution that would allow Mervis to come up and Hosmer to stay - just send Edwin Rios to Iowa.
