It’s Memorial Day, which means a full slate of day baseball. While we await the start of the action, let’s round up some news and notes from around the game…
- The Indians have purchased the contract of Heath Fillmyer from the Lancaster Barnstormers, per the Atlantic League club. Fillmyer has been assigned to Triple-A. The 27-year-old right-hander last appeared in the Majors in 2019 withe the Royals. He owns a 5.07 ERA/5.31 FIP over 104 2/3 innings between 2018-19.
- The Cardinals have called up Seth Elledge from Memphis, per MLB.com’s Jeff Jones (via Twitter). The move comes as a response to Kodi Whitley being placed on the 10-day injured list because of mild back spasms. St. Louis also signed southpaw Tyler Pike to a minor league contract, according to their transactions log on MLB.com.
- Tigers catcher Grayson Greiner is putting his rehab assignment on hold for now after experiencing some hamstring discomfort, per Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group (via Twitter). He’s been on the injured list since May 12th. The 28-year-old backstop owns a .237/.256/.342 line in 39 plate appearances on the year.
Time to dump Tyler Webb. Gosh Mozeliak is lame sometimes. Voit is lighting it up so he’s gotta keep riding Webb until he turns into something he’s not.
I agree they should dump Webb asap, but they claimed him off waivers from the Brewers, so I’m not sure how Voit has anything to do with Webb. Voit was traded for Gallegos, who has been a good setup reliever, so that trade is probably about even. Mo has whiffed here and there, like the Carp extension, and Brett Cecil, but Webb and the Voit trade really aren’t examples of that.
Voit is hitting 182, u call that lighting it up??? And what does what Voit do have anything to do with Webb? Webb wasn’t part of that trade.
Voit is a yankee, if Greiner were a yankee, hed be the next yogi.
GibsonFan, “if Greiner were a Yankee he’d be the next Yogi”…Bear! Hey Boo Boo!
Agreed! New Tyler has GOT to be better than old Tyler.
What does Voit have to do with Webb?
What does Voit’s success have to do with Tyler Webb?
Maybe if one more person asks we’ll finally get an answer . . .
What does Webb stinking have to do with Voit? (And I think we all suspect he got him mixed up with Chasen Shreve, but it better to ask another 13 or 14 times)
My question is – who gave wesstl’s comment a thumbs up?
I agree—- Tyler Webb needs to spend time in Memphis or Springfield for majority of the rest of the season to develop his skills further. Not on the Cardinals Major League Team!! He’s killing their relief staff.
To your second point. Arenaldo and Goldschmidt were good acquisitions by Mozeliak. Yes they were. Their talents were easily already established. However—- in all of his other trades and free agent acquisitions over the past 10 years leaves a lot to be desired!!! Most were bust trades and/or financial disasters for the Cardinals.
Memorial Day means a full slate of day baseball? Hmmm…
Snowflakes
Raindrops
Mlbtr fans probably have no idea what Memorial Day means.
LOL
Badoo looked shaky in CF today, twice went backwards first, then forward, both balls fell in front of him. JJ would have had at least one and maybe both.
Tigers would have lost 2 to 1 because jj would have struck out 4 times.
If that happened, At least JJ wouldnt be letting any runs in that shouldn’t and I think badoo leads them in K’s.
Who is this pheasant they signed?
I made the mistake of buying a Little Cesar’s pizza the other day……
I thought it strange to see the NHL LOGO ON THE BOX……
AND I SAW THE TIGER’S FUTURE…….
PLEASE SELL THE TEAM.
YOU HAVE NO REAL APPARENT INTEREST.
THERE ARE BETTER, MORE HONORABLE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR MONEY THAN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BRAINWASHED, IDIOTS.
The FACT that we have nothing signed to trade makes me see, this not about rebuilding, it’s about cost cutting. The minor leagues is where teams sift through prospects, not this, ” give em a cup of coffee”, HORSE CRAP.
HOW DID THEY EVER GET AWAY WITH SELLING TIGER FANS THAT NARRATIVE????????
IVE GOT BRIDGES FOR SALE, TIGER FANS…….
I’m absolutely certain that once Chris sees your post he’ll immediately jump on your brilliant suggestion.
Sorry, much too busy watching hockey highlights.. .
Little Chris Illichs’ new Tiger motto for Tiger fans, “Hockey pucks have more fun”.
