It’s not every day you see a player with a 424 OPS get DFAed. Best of luck to Pena.
Phillies2017
Just to clarify what he was saying, he meant OPS+
Its the stat that pretty much takes your offensive production and mixes in ballpark and what not. 100 is average so 424 is obviously well above.

Thanks for the clarification on the OPS = )

.424 OPS is very bad

Its ops . His actual ops is 2.000 so it is very good

Meant its ops plus they’re talking about

He also had a small number of at bats, that’s why it was so high. Plus they have no need to have 3 catchers on the roster

Knew this was going to happen. Teams won’t carry three catchers for very long.

Not surprising given the roster constraints, but he’s played well this year. Think he’ll probably get claimed. Seattle maybe as a minor upgrade over Gosewich?

FYI The link for Tony Pena links to the Tony Pena who played SS for the Royals

This move is understandable with Castillo being activated from the DL.

He played 3 games. 571 looks pretty, don’t get me wrong, but it was 3 games.
He’s a career 241 hitter with a 268 on base percentage and he’s out of minor league options.
Keep in mind, he cleared waivers just a few months ago.
While it wouldn’t be totally crazy to see Seattle grab him, I get the impression that he’s headed back to Norfolk. Just my two cents.

Oh I know, I certainly don’t expect there to be a massive bidding war, but he was also decent in Norfolk, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some team decide he’s slightly better than their current backup

He’s better than Kevin Plawecki…

Mariners should get him for as long as Zunino will be down in AAA.
