Here's the official roster shuffling:

LHP Eric Stout will replace Justin Grimm in the bullpen.

Does Grimm going on the DL open up a spot on the 40 man roster? They're going to need a spot for Bushholz within the next week.

No, only if a player goes on the 60-day DL.

Someone will have to be DFA'd when Buchholz is called up.

Good Bye Boyer I hope.

He would be the obvious candidate.

Plenty of candidates to DFA. Start with Gordon.

Shouldn't we keep Boyer around to pitch BP?

You'll probably see him on the mound during the All-Star Home Run Contest.

Heh

No. Start with someone who is worse, with less upside, who isn’t going to cost you $20 million.

Paulo Orlando sucks just as bad as Alex Gordon.

Difference is he doesn’t cost you much at all to dump, and he has less upside.

*sniff*

That's awesome.

Gordon has upside?

The only reason why the Royals can't release him is because of that contract.

Otherwise, if he was making as much as Orlando was, he would have been DFA'ed. Gordon doesn't have any upside whatsoever, and his game has declined dramatically since 2016.

Salvy :)
