That's what I do. Trust me we are 100% in agreement. But the masses don't, and that's what's killing our country right now.

When most media is algorithm fed, it's not quite so cut-and-dry.

Brieske makes the same in the majors as the minors. Adding Outman adds his prorated $797,500 projected the rest of the way, a bit over $435,000. Hanifee making $795,500 in the bigs, $331,218 in the minors. So going down lowers the bill a bit. I don't know what Waguespack's making. I'm guessing $850,000, just copying what Short is making. Short gets paid his MLB rate while in DFA limbo. If he clears waivers and gets outrighted, he would get prorated $180,000 the rest of the way. If he opts out, the Tigers are off the hook. ... How the sausage is made. I'll put an updated number up after Mize/Skubal return and Short's DFA limbo ends.

It's official.

Well, it's not Wenceel... Jones with Wenceel taking his spot as the RH platoon guy?

Or when a groundball pitcher is on the mound for the other team...

Sure, why not? He is three years removed from a 3-4 win season. May as well kick the tires for a bit, especially while a few guys at the back of the roster have been sub-replacement. Worst case, you have some extra depth.

You have to wait two days after claiming somebody off waivers to DFA them again. I wouldn't count this as some "woe is Malgeri" situation. This could be a spot where they are sending Perez down (running with that assumption), and then using this as a way to get Outman into the org, but call up the guy you want when you try to slip Outman through waivers next week.

Or McKinstry IL could be possible? Thinking they'd swap a LHB out for a LHB, and I know McKinstry has been playing through something since coming back. Perez seems most likely though.

I noticed this the other day, but saw Bats Left and assumed he didn't fit the need. Guessing Perez is headed down to make room...

Pinch hitting Short for McGonigle. Smh. #firehinch

Should get back under by Sunday with three pitchers coming off the IL this weekend. One thing I wanted to point out though: Beau Brieske is on a guaranteed contract, not a split contract. That means if he is sent down this weekend, he makes the same in the minors as the majors and it doesn't help lower the CBT number.

Franyerber starting his rehab today!

Four pitchers coming back from injury in the next week, so four pitchers will be sent down.

Maybe in batting practice.
