There was such a thing as a Kolton Ingram?

This is really getting crazy. Maybe there needs to be a change to the roster rules so that non-elite relievers stop being so fungible. My first thought was to expand the 40-man roster to a 45-man roster, but that would probably just lead to more prospects being protected than middle relievers.

I suppose you could have those extra five spots be reserved for players who have big-league experience. I'm sure there would still be loopholes to exploit, but I really think a change is in order. I wonder if it will be an issue in the next CBA?

It depends on what you think the actual issue is.

I'd like to see them go back to some flavor of the old option rule, under which you could only option/ recall a player one time (maybe two times) per year. The only reason (IMO) that they need so many reliever machinations is because the teams don't let starters pitch more than twice through the order any more (or X number of pitches).
Since they do, there might have to be a modification to roster size, but this yo-yo stuff is a farce.

It took too long to expand the 25-man roster to 26. For a while, some teams would be playing with just three position player backups.

Well, I, for one, would like to see fewer players bouncing between organizations multiple times during the course of a month, let alone a season.

It would be nicer for the players, but I'm thinking as a fan. I'd like to be able to have my Mets be Mets, not just day workers.

They've made a few rules to reduce yo-yo transactions like this, but teams clearly are finding a way to work around it. To me, that's just one more ugly side effect of Major League Baseball and its member organizations being allowed to control the interests of minor-league teams.

"Day workers" is a great description of what they are being treated as, however.

Yohan Ramirez knows from detachments. He can brief Joey Wendle. Both are being DFA'd, with Vientos and Lucchesi coming back.

whoa. That's cold from Stearns, releasing a former Brewer like that. Not that Omar didn't have it coming given his D and O this year.

Whoever the fuck is Luis Torrens
