Nicky Lopez basically hadn't played since the Braves traded for him. Today was actually the first time they let him hit and he probably had the best game of his career.

They should put JJ shrugging about the return on Nicky on his ****ing headstone. Such apathy. Such incompetence. |

Speculation here, but here's what I think: 1. Robinson had another screw up (it could even be internally) and the Diamondbacks had enough. His last transaction was getting sent back to the rookie Arizona Complex League, which makes you wonder. 2. The D-Backs are in the pennant race and thought they could no longer keep him protected on their 40-man roster. He's played in the low minors this year. They have their share of young, athletic outfielders, too. He's also comes with some risk, 30% strikeout rate at both Single-A levels. But he also has a double digit walk rate, 70 grade power on Fangraphs and had 7 HR/18 SB in 43 games. If he's not a total **** up, I think he's worth the shot. His numbers show promise for a guy who hadn't played in an official game since 2019. |

What type of issues was he having? Like being a shit head or what? I guess I could read the article, but I'll just make you work lol |

His career has been in limbo for the past few years for legal reasons. Robinson pled guilty to what was initially a felony assault charge stemming from an April 2020 incident with a law enforcement officer. (Zach Buchanan of the Athletic wrote in 2021 that Robinson said he’d been amidst a mental health crisis at the time.) As part of the plea agreement, Robinson’s charge was to be reduced to a misdemeanor if he successfully completed 18 months of probation without incident. In the interim, having a felony on his record prevented him from renewing a work visa that would allow him to continue to participate in minor league games. Robinson had been permitted to partake in extended Spring Training workouts but could not play in official games. |

The Royals would technically have the No. 2 waiver priority behind the A's, but I think it reset and they went back to the bottom when they claimed Joe Barlow off waivers from the Rangers. From MLB.com If a club has already previously claimed a player on outright waivers in a given year, the club’s claiming priority will be moved to last among the 30 clubs. |

Cuas trade had been a win

****ing Dayton Moore's shitty shitty pitchers. Frank Mozzicato is now 20 and getting absolutely shellacked in high A, so far with a 11.72 ERA in 5 starts. Ben Kudrna hasn't been as awful (6.27 ERA), but he's just getting worse and worse.
Just amazing to me the amount of draft picks that stupid mother****er used on pitchers and our cupboard is absolutely bare. The guy just had no ****ing clue what he was doing when he came to drafting and developing pitchers. So many issues from prospects in the minors with how they were being handled. Thank God that idiot is gone. |
