today is a double header, so there’s a roster exception to add a 26th man, which lannan could be activated under.
besides, nady wasn’t on the 25 man roster before today, so he didn’t need to be added and released today to add lannan.
pretty sure nady was added/released because he had reached the end of his rehab assignment and had to be activated today. they released him after activating him because they didn’t want to release anyone else on their 25 man roster to make room for him.
regardless, it had nothing to do with lannan.

Always loved the X-Man– hopefully he finds another home

Jason Bay next? The potent, middle of the order Pirates sluggers have been barely singles hitters for several years now and Bay wouldn’t be around if not for his large contract.
What a shame. Nady was a really good 5 tool player for several years. Better than Bay I thought.

That’s too bad. I liked Nady and he had great stats as a pinch hitter, but injuries forced him into a starting role which clearly is he is no longer able to do.

maybe the giants take a chance? cant he play first? maybe the change of venue will be good for him and being close to his home town playing a few hrs up the 101 from salinas where he went to HS i always liked him with him being from salinas and me from soledad always nice to have a home time kid in the MLB

Yep, had nothing to do with Lannan people! New rule in the CBA that allows teams to add a 26th player for a double header. Then after the game its back to upstate New York and the Syracuse SuperChiefs.
