    Ah, so it’s actually active roster time, not service time!! The rules really are complicated. 😭 I learned something new today. Thanks!
  5. Mai.K
    There are also service-time requirements for Rookie of the Year eligibility, in addition to the limits on at-bats and innings pitched. The service-time limit for Rookie of the Year eligibility is 45 days. Culpepper was called up on August 7 and stayed with the team through the end of the season, so he appears to have accumulated a little over 50 days of service time. So I don’t think Culpepper will be eligible for Rookie of the Year.

    Should we add Mercedes to the 40-man roster to protect him for next season? It still feels like a bit of a waste to put an A+ player on the 40-man roster this early, especially for a team like ours that already has plenty of outfielders. That said, the combination of good defense, a strong arm, good speed, and the ability to play all three outfield positions makes him a very intriguing profile for a fourth outfielder. Considering that we gave Keirsey almost a full season last year, I don’t think a rebuilding team like Colorado would hesitate to put Mercedes on their major league roster for a full season if they selected him in the Rule 5 Draft. So the question is: should we put Mercedes on the 40-man roster simply to keep another team from taking a chance on him?

    This marks the end of my 23rd season cheering for this lovable team from the other side of the world. It was a season filled with regrets and disappointment, but compared to the final day of last season, I can still see a little more hope. I hope the labor issues are resolved smoothly this offseason, and hopefully the ownership situation can be sorted out as well. It wasn’t a good season, but I think it’s one I’ll remember for a long time. Thank you to everyone for all your hard work this year. You all did a great job, and I truly appreciate it. Blessings to every single player!!

    Sabato didn’t manage to take a single ball in his three plate appearances today. Everything was either a foul ball, a ball in play, or a strike... It’s disappointing that his long-awaited MLB debut went about as badly as it could have, but I still hope he gets consistent opportunities over these final five games. Matthews is a tough one... He looked so good against the Yankees in his last start, and then today he struggled against the Giants. I’m not ready to give up on him yet, but it feels like time is no longer on his side.
  26. Mai.K
    The fact that there are only a few games left in the season is the only downside, but at least all the players I’d been disappointed to see left out have now gotten a chance to step on a major league field. I’m really happy with this move, haha. I’m hoping Sabato gets the best of luck!
  27. Mai.K
    I was hoping Sabato would get at least a little opportunity, so it’s a bit disappointing. First, I think we’ll probably give Lewis more chances, or this will end up being another season where we try to patch things together with internal options. I don’t really see many free agents who seem like a particularly good fit for our team, but there are quite a few players from the NPB and KBO who are hoping to make the jump to MLB through the posting system after this season. Most of them are pitchers, but there are a few hitters as well. And as for infielders... hmm... There is one third baseman who could probably also play first base...?? In the NPB, there’s Teruaki Sato. And in the KBO, there’s Roh Si-hwan. Of course, given the current posting system, I’m not sure there are enough incentives for either player to choose our team. But in the end... I guess the most important thing is money, right?

    Setting the new negotiations aside for a moment, if the Rule 5 Draft is conducted under the same rules as before, which prospects do you think will be added to our 40-man roster after the season? Kala’i Rosario and Sabato, both mentioned in the article, and Danny De Andrade, who was mentioned in the comments above? In a normal year, I feel like all of these guys would probably have had a hard time making the 40-man roster... But looking at RosterResource’s information and the 2026 stats of the players who are Rule 5 eligible, it seems like we have an unusually weak group of candidates this year. Are there any other players I’m overlooking?
  29. Mai.K
    Exactly. I appreciate everything Kreidler has done for the team this season, but I agree that, with no minor-league options remaining next year, there really isn’t much reason to include him in the plans for next season. And I feel the same way about Alex Jackson. Honestly, I think it would have made more sense to move on from those two before Ross... Feddeco was the same way, and now Ross as well. Despite putting up excellent numbers in the minors, I feel like they’ve been given far too few opportunities. I really just wanted to see Ross get at least one hit.
  30. Mai.K
    Wow, finally... It’s a little disappointing that Ross didn’t get many opportunities, but seeing E-Rod get called up is very exciting news!! For the first time, it really feels like a new generation is on the way. I hope these final two weeks can give us some real hope for next year.
  31. Mai.K
    It’s already been three years... At this point, I have far more memories of Lewis struggling than playing well, but even so, I’m not ready to give up on him yet. He can provide some versatility at third base and first base (and maybe even second base or shortstop?), he still has one option year remaining next year, and a right-handed bat is valuable for our team. On top of that, I don’t think his arbitration salary next year will be all that expensive. So I’m hoping we give him at least one more year to see what he can do.
  32. Mai.K
    I still had hope, but after today, I’m slowly reaching the point where I’m starting to give up. Looking back on the season, I feel like those two losses to Dobnak were just devastating... I never thought Dobnak would pitch this well...

    Back in 2015, Kohl Stewart was ranked No. 28 by Baseball Prospectus. Although his MLB career left a lot to be desired, he was actually one of my favorite prospects. Please mention his name as well.

    Wow, this is the news I've been waiting for. Canterino is coming back!! I've been asking GPT from time to time throughout the year to look for any recent news about Canterino, and I guess today is finally that day. I sincerely hope that he stays healthy from here on out. And, hopefully, he can continue wearing our team's uniform next year as well. Thank you so, so much for this wonderful news.

    Is that Manny? That has a nice ring to it lol.
