Lead the NL in
passed balls for three out of the last six seasons, and get yourself a nice
$73-million contract. Win the AL Gold
Glove at second base, and get yourself released. Such is the business of baseball, with
Yasmani Grandal coming to the White Sox and Yolmer Sanchez most likely leaving.
There is a
possibility, however remote, that Yolmer will resign with the Sox, though at a
lower figure than the $6.2 million he was projected to make in
arbitration. All it will take is no team
offering anything close to that figure; the Sox not being jerks in their offer;
and Sanchez preferring the known to the unknown. The 12-year old in me hopes something along
those lines will happen.
Ditto my boy
Daniel Palka, who deserves a break after going through what can only be
described as baseball hell. Palka hit 27
homeruns as a rookie in 2018 vs. 2 last season; and let’s not forget the .107
BA, though I’m sure Daniel would like to.
The Sox removed Palka from the 40-man roster last week and outrighted
him to Triple-A Charlotte. No doubt, some
team will offer Palka an invite to spring training, maybe even the Sox.
I mean, a
12-year old can hope.
