FUTURE EXPECTED MOVES
- BOS: SP Jalen Beeks will be recalled from the minors on Thursday June 7th, according to Jen McCaffrey of the Athletic. He’ll be making a spot start in Pomeranz’s spot. It will be his MLB debut.
- CLE: OF Brandon Guyer will be activated from the 10-Day DL on Friday June 8th, according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com.
- DET: RP Alex Wilson will be activated from the 10-Day DL on Thursday June 7th, according to Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press.
- HOU: OF Josh Reddick will be activated from the 10-Day DL on Wednesday June 6th, according to Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet. INF/OF J.D. Davis will be optioned to Triple-A.
- HOU: C Brian McCann expects to return from the 10-Day DL on Friday June 8th, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
- LAD: SP Caleb Ferguson will have his contract purchased from the minors on Wednesday June 6th. He’ll be making his MLB debut.
Pomeranz could find himself DFA’d and possibly nearly given away to some other team for some kind of salary relief. Wright should be the #5 and think the Sox have enough depth with Vazquez and Beeks in case on injury to another.
Cannot afford to keep putting pomeranz out there to find himself and him get hammered most times early in games time after time. If not DFA, move to BP regardless of how it affects his upcoming FA. his poor performance has caused the situation.
Pom is going to be the odd man out–this has been over a year in the making.
It may be his days in the rotation are over and he will return to the pen.
Jalen Beeks has had a good season so far @ AAA and will be in the rotation next season for the Sox or offered as part of a trade package.
I think Beeks was a Razorback along with Bene; perhaps in the same draft class.
