Look for Nick Wittgren to be called up from Omaha later today since May 1 was opt out day for veterans on minor league deals.

It would be great if Garcia can force the Royals hand and stay up.

Rooker OPS 1.044 with 28 jacks in AAA last year. But when we had the choice to keep him or ROH, we kept the big doofus. Then committed to 1.4M for him. Then DFA him anyway

Rooker was in the Royals system last year? Oof - that one stings. That's really the kind of guy they need to stumble onto every now and then if they want to be competitive. Rooker's not a young guy, but he's cheap and has power. And he seems to have a decent eye. At worst he's a guy who's value you build and then deal at the deadline for an arm. He'll get exposed soon enough and I'd be surprised if he ended with an OPS over .800. He's a dead pull hitter with holes in his swing so the league will adjust. But man, the Royals just waived him after they traded for him? That's bizarre. Just looking at his stats, he should've had an option left. That time with the Twins was in September - they wouldn't have optioned him back down and you don't use one to purchase a contract. So he'd have used an option in 2021 and 2022 - he almost has to have an option left. And rather than just option him down, the Royals waived him to clear a 40 man slot for...who? That's just lousy asset management.

And even at THAT there are a half dozen guys on your 40 man that really don't have value to speak of. Like, who the hell is Collin Snider? Side note: Jackson Kowar is 26 already? Yikes - that's probably not gonna go as planned.

I mean the guy has a prolonged track record of drawing walks and hitting with power in the high minors. I can't say that is sufficient to override 29 big league PAs with KC last year. If he were out of options and you had to designate him to get him down to AAA, okay - I can understand that one. But the guy had options left - all you needed to do was send him down if he couldn't have earned his way onto the team out of camp. I just don't understand why you DFA him in November.
