“I’m not going to mention names, but what I am going to stick to is we know things have to change,” Mozeliak said. I want to say “Who’s “we?”” but he said he wasn’t going to mention names.
Here is the first proposal by the MLBPA concerning the amateur draft.
The Royals placed Bobby Witt Jr. on the injured list with lower back tightness. They’ve brought up Andrew Velazquez to fill in in the meantime. They designated outfielder Kameron Misner for assignment. The Royals also picked up right-hander Nate Pearson from the Astros in exchange for minor league right-hander Max Martin.
The Cardinals designated reliever Scott Blewitt for assignment. With a name like Blewitt you just know he is going to end up on the Angels.
Much travelled right-hander Carlos Carrasco just signed with the LG Twins of the KBO. He took the roster spot of Yacksel Rios who has been released.
Just your basic game ending 5-2-6-4 double play.
