Getting closer to first!!!!
KENta's shryukens the last 2 games has been on point
"I was recently notified by Major League Baseball that I had tested positive for EPO, a substance that is prohibited under MLB's Joint Drug Agreement," Castillo said in a statement through the MLB Players Association.
"The positive test resulted from an extremely poor decision that I, and I alone, made. I take full responsibility for my conduct. I have let many people down, including my family, my teammates, the White Sox organization and its fans, and from my heart, I apologize. Following my suspension, I look forward to rejoining my teammates and doing whatever I can to help the White Sox win."
Holy shit. Has he been bad this year?
Such a weird move, you've already invested millions upon millions in money into the guy just let him try and hit his way out of it. It's not like you're going to recoup any of that value now whether the option vests or not.
this move was because 1) they dont want to let his 22m option vest for next year because they want to be rid of him 2) need a roster spot for pedroia 3) he's not hitting and doesn't play defense worth a damn, might as well just give those ABs to Mitch Moreland
I'll never forget when he went deep for the first time, Happy Birthday Bart!!!
The only one of these arguments that's unique to HanRam is the vesting option...there's several worthy candidates who haven't been hitting and aren't much better defensivelythis move was because 1) they dont want to let his 22m option vest for next year because they want to be rid of him 2) need a roster spot for pedroia 3) he's not hitting and doesn't play defense worth a damn, might as well just give those ABs to Mitch Moreland
Wow totally out of left field. Did not expect this.
He started out red hot, but he has been slumping for all of May.
This seems to have more to do with money.
I'm worried about what this does to the team chemistry, I thought he has been a great teammate all year.
Goldie doing so bad(rip fantasy team), he's only $9 in daily fantasy leaguesAnother random dbacks suck stat for you guys/gals....
The Arizona Diamondbacks had a franchise low of only 10 hits in a 3 game series with the Brewers this past week.
The team as a whole right now is batting .213
They are on the cusp of being on the wrong side of records.
I'll never forget when he went deep for the first time, Happy Birthday Bart!!!
You guys need to play some Out of the Park Baseball, the move makes total sense. Dropping 22 million on a 34 year old sub 100 OPS+ guy is throwing money out the window. He's not even really slumping, he's barely below his last year's numbers.
Hanley has been sub-replacement level for 2 years. What year are y'all living in where Hanley is worth keeping around? Zero is higher than a negative.
