Andy Ibanez sounds like an another Castro, but you've got to love that he has not one but two accents in his name - accents grave and tilde.  

So even if he’s just another Castro, that’s still good for us.  It’s someone that we will complain about, but at least it’s someone new to complain about.  That little bit of a change, the honeymoon phase at first, that will take a bit of the anguish off for a period of time.

yeah - he and Garcia can refuse assignment, but have they? Would either?

There is a difference between refusing assignment and six year minor league free agency. Unless those guys have re-upped, they are gone.

 

Regarding refusing assignment, I think that is being misused. Some players do have the right to declare free agency after being outrighted, but that isn't refusing assignment. Players with 5+ years of service time can refuse assignment to the minors. That doesn't mean they are free agents; that just means they don't go down to the minors.

They don't seem to be sure about Reyes one way or the other but this is the copy....

Quote

The most notable is Reyes. He earned $1.4 million in 2021 and would have been arbitration eligible for a second time this offseason, rejected the outright assignment to Toledo and elected free agency, according to a source with knowledge of the situation......

.....The 28-year-old switch-hitter[Reyes], acquired by the Tigers in the 2017 Rule 5 draft, could reject the minor-league assignment because he has more than three years of MLB service time. He hit .264 with 49 walks and 287 strikeouts over 394 games over five seasons.

Bryan Garcia can reject the assignment to Toledo and opt for free agency, too, because he has been previously outrighted in his career

That is clumsy wording (there is a lot of that on transaction stuff in the media), but yes as a 3+ year guy, Reyes didn't have to wait on 4 pm for free agency and was eligible to become a free agent on the spot.

I don't think they've had the grave-tilde combo since Ordonez.
