A Falling Domino, Perhaps

Be still, my beating heart. Late last night, Clare called with news of a move by the White Sox—they released catcher Martin Maldonado and his .119 BA and his -1.5 WAR and his seven percent success rate throwing out baserunners and… The Sox also sent Lenyn Sosa back to the minors and released Danny Mendick. Fingers crossed that Bryan Ramos gets recalled and Mendick catches on with another team. Solid glove at second and third, surprising pop for someone 5’10”. Either the knee injury from 2022 is still affecting him, or he was pressing. Time will tell. Fingers also crossed that the front office decides it’s time to see what 21-year old catcher Edgar Quero can do. I mean, do you seriously think Quero could be any worse than Maldonado?
