Marcelo Mayer’s rookie season is over. The youngster has been on the shelf due to a wrist sprain since late July, and now manager Alex Cora has told reporters (including Christopher Smith of MassLive) that the infielder will undergo season-ending surgery on his ailing wrist. The surgery comes with a three-month recovery period, so he’s expected to be ready for Spring Training 2026.
Mayer, 22, entered the season as a consensus top-20 prospect in the sport. Selected fourth-overall by the Red Sox back in 2021, Mayer’s climb up the minor league ladder was stymied by injuries at times but he made both his Triple-A and big league debuts this year in spite of those obstacles. He hit a solid .271/.247/.472 in 43 games with Worcester this year but scuffled a bit in the majors, with a below-average .228/.272/.402 (79 wRC+) slash line and a 30.1% strikeout rate. He posted those numbers while splitting time between second and third base as well as shortstop at the big league level, with most of his work coming at the hot corner while Alex Bregman was on the injured list earlier this year.
Now that Mayer’s own 2025 campaign has come to an abrupt close due to his ailing wrist, it’s safe to say that the youngster didn’t have the rookie campaign he and the Red Sox were surely hoping for. That’s hardly a surprise, of course. While some top talents (such as teammate Roman Anthony) immediately take to the big leagues, it’s become increasingly common for even the very best prospects in the game to struggle mightily early in their careers due to the growing skill gap between Triple-A and the majors. For Mayer, getting some of those growing pains out of the way this year can only be a good thing, and will hopefully leave him better equipped to impact the big league club in 2026.
Fortunately for the Red Sox, they’ve been able to do just fine without Mayer producing at a high level. Bregman (156 wRC+) earned his third career All-Star nod and has been a game changer for Boston’s lineup at third base, while Trevor Story has bounced back from years of injury-marred campaigns to be a roughly average (98 wRC+) everyday shortstop. That’s solidified the left side of the club’s infield, and while the struggles of both Mayer and Kristian Campbell have made second base into a bit of a question mark, super utility man Ceddanne Rafaela has settled in at the keystone admirably amid a decent offensive season of his own (97 wRC+). Fellow youngster Kristian Campbell is also available to help chip in at second base, though he’s struggled after a hot start to the year and is currently getting regular reps at Triple-A.
Looking ahead to next year, the Red Sox figure to have an embarrassment of riches on the positional side of things. Bregman seems increasingly likely to opt out of his contract and return to free agency, but even setting him aside the returns of Mayer and Triston Casas should give the team a full lineup on paper with both Campbell and Rafaela capable of moving between the infield and outfield as needed. Should Bregman opt into his deal or wind up getting re-signed or replaced in free agency, the Red Sox figure to have more players than positions to play them at between their solid regulars and unproven young players like Mayer and Campbell. Players like Jarren Duran and Masataka Yoshida have frequently been the subject of trade rumors over the years due to this impending logjam, and while no deals have come together to this point that figures to remain a storyline surrounding the club headed into the offseason.
Bummer
Horace – I called it a long time ago. Great kid but cannot stay healthy to save his life.
Thank God for Team MVP Story. All the haters got a big dose of karma. LOL!
Story contract 20-25 mill each year from 2022 -2027. He’s been productive for red Sox but hadn’t done anything in 2023 and 2024. Criticism towards was deserved
Not sure why getting injured is deserving of criticism. It’s not like any player wants to be hurt.
A 101 OPS+ is a comeback season?
Mike – Compared to 2022-2024, yes.
How many shortstops have his offensive numbers including SB’s?
Sox analysts just said he’s getting AL MVP votes.
@ Fever
I’m assuming those vote(s) are coming from Boston beat writers sucking up to the cash cow.
Story’s had a bounceback performance compared to his prior play, and it’s no doubt a big deal in Boston, but he has no business in the MVP discussion.
To this point, Story’s produced 3.1 bWAR/ 2.3 fWAR with a 101 OPS+.
Last season, Daulton Varsho produced 5.0 bWAR/ 3.2 fWAR with a 97 OPS+. Daulton didn’t get a single vote for MVP, nor should he have.
Story’s season this year looks like a poor man’s version of Varsho’s from last year. A roughly league average bat with really good defense (and yes the stolen bases).
His year is great for Boston, but a drop in the bucket of performance across the league.
Fever, I’ve been staring Story is the team MVP for a while. His glove has been spectacular and he’s a heady player who seems to always be in position and make the throw. I wish I was able to make that throw home he made a few weeks back. He worked his butt off to come back (Chris Sale too) and while he obviously wasn’t worth his paycheck in prior years, he’s underpaid in 25.
Stop looking at saber stats. Anyone who has watched the Sox play, know he’s their one through nine MVP.
Canuckle, no he’s not winning the league MVP. This is starting to remind me of 13 and if the Sox surprise and he continues to do what he’s done since June, I think he’ll be happy with WS MVP. I’m not predicting, just stating what is obvious to those that breathe Red Sox 24-7. We never expected the team to be playing this well the middle of August. Cora has historically burnt out the staff by now, players typically are hurt and the minors is usually bare with no reinforcements. Let’s just enjoy today and tomorrow the same thing. If the team produces and we continue to enjoy today, the downfall for tomorrow actually never comes.
FPG
I gotta ask how many times have you agreed with the NESN analysts?? C’mon now… 1st year he is living up to the contract. Terrible news on Mayer. Maybe next year is his 1st healthy like Story this year. We are going to need him next year.
@FPG If Cal Raleigh doesn’t win MVP this season the process is a joke…..Story has had a good year but Raleigh has so far been historic
@Dewey I think the Sox MVP is Alex Bregman, not just for his production but he holds everyone accountable and that’s sorely been missing. Bregman has a tablet and is going through at-bats with guys in the dugout….They need him back
Arias is coming up who is a defensive genius at shortstop if Story does opt out. His bat has been coming around (which does not necessarily mean it will be immediate success at majors level as we have seen with Campbell and Mayer this year (whose results are more common than Anthony’s out of the gate).
With that said, I hope Story stays because he is a supreme athlete that can really play the game when healthy, and if you watched him jump through the ball in the hole in the air to first, you realize he is healthy again and only a handful of guys in the league can even make that play on a line.
I would take whatever those homers tout with a gigantic grain of salt. Story has really stepped up as a leader on & off the field but AL MVP is a bit much.
King, Story plays a more demanding position and brought the youngsters to his home the last two off seasons. They both have delivered on and off the field but given how the middle influed has been a revolving door (2B since Pedie), he is the one who is the MVP.
No one wanted Story released a month ago. Stop making things up.
I have yet to hear anyone in Boston say the Story is getting down ballot MVP votes. Show your work FPG.
Popgun: Arias is high A so he’s at best 2-3 years away from the big leagues
Fpg ..hes finally living up to his contract and based on the first several years he is not a reliable contributor it can be argued this year is an outlier and he would be doing the sox a favor by opting out if both he and bregman leave thats what 60 million back on the books for next season? Im fairly certain you can find 2 capable replacements for 30 mil aav
Canuck – I’m not saying he will win it or even finish Top 5. All I said are votes.
Look at last years voting, even Devers got multiple votes.
Dewey – Thank you, great post!
Cdc – NESN guys in the studio have been far less biased than the radio and TV game crews.
I’m praying Marcelo stays healthy next year, he’s very talented.
Bum – Votes is all I said … maybe 10th-15th finish in voting?
Trey Turner is better than Story. And keeping in line he has a better OPS+ and more stolen bases.
Cdc – One could say Campbell lost today’s game, right?
Even without their best player in the lineup yesterday or today, the Marlins came close to winning the series. I blame it more on the Sox offense, half the lineup has been awful for a while and you can’t expect Duran, Abreu, Roman, Yoshida and Story to carry the team every game.
Let’s hope the pitching continues to shine.
No one? The outcry throughout the fan base in person, online, & talk radio was everywhere.
Monsox – I can’t see the comment to which you’re responding, which means it’s from a moron that I’ve muted.
There’s people here who aren’t really Sox fans, haven’t a clue what analysts and those within MLB think, haven’t a clue what Red Sox Nation is all about or what they are feeling, and yet will lie about anything and everything in a vain attempt to discredit me and the rest of Red Sox Nation.
You can either laugh at them, or mute them. Personally their pathetic attempts at attention get to be more boring than funny, so I mute them. Because I’m here for serious baseball talk with adults, and they are neither.
The Manager’s inability to use the Bullpen properly lost Sunday’s game…. on Saturday. Cora uses the 8th guy in the BP more than he uses guys 4 through 7.. If he uses anyone of 4 through 7, then he doesn’t have use Chapman… and Sunday is a win.
How many more games is this clown going blow…. yet there are literally Red Sox fans that are defending Cora….. WAKE UP!
Fpg..you really need to look in the mirror..when you say “There’s people here who aren’t really Sox fans, haven’t a clue what analysts and those within MLB think, haven’t a clue what Red Sox Nation is all about or what they are feeling, and yet will lie about anything and everything in a vain attempt to discredit the Red Sox Nation.”…you nailed it ..you literally described yourself!! Congrats!
What would you have done differently based on the availability that day and circumstances..?
Cannot stay healthy to save his life? Hmmm… sounds a lot like Trevor Story, who finally was lucky enough to stay healthy this year. So far.
Mayer is 22 in his first MLB season. Get off your high horse, man. If you call out enough things, you’re bound to get something right. What about all the times you’ve been wrong?
Karma for what? Lol. Story may be the team’s MVP (no, Crochet is) but he’s not getting league MVP votes beside from local biased writers which is totally understandable.
It’s not like he was tearing it up on the diamond this year.
He did fine playing out of position and showed he can play in the big leagues IF he can remain on the diamond. That remains his biggest obstacle
That’s a bummer, man
Boston definitely has a bright future. The Yankees window is closing fast if it hasn’t already.
The Yankees will always be contenders and that’s an absolute fact that history proves time and time again.
No worries for the Yankees fan.
Pretenders not contenders.
How can Yankees fan be content with being a contender minus the World Series
We are coming into, barring key injuries, what I believe is a golden era of Red Sox baseball. Breslow has begun locking up some key future pieces and locking up Roman Anthony was massive imo. The locking down of their ace Crochet is something that Boston hasn’t had in a while. The young position core is excellent and among the best in baseball, however it’s the pitching that is going to be the difference for Boston in the future. When Breslow was named the head of baseball operations he revamped the entire pitching infrastructure from the bottom up. At the time I felt this was the biggest thing that Breslow had done and very few fans saw it or quite frankly understood how big this was. It’s now two years into his time as the Red Sox HBO and the pitching that is being developed is now hitting the upper minors. We are entering a golden age of pitching development in the minor league system.
If you look up and down the system there are so many arms from Salem to Worcester that are being developed. I have watched this farm for more than a decade closely and I can say without a doubt in the last decade this system is the best for arms and I expect quality arms to be showing starting next season year after year. Soon the rest of the league is going to be calling the Red Sox system Pitching U. It’s a great time to be a Red Sox fan.
Bruin, agree on most. Unfortunately, Breslow and Bloom before him are limited by Henry who doesn’t look for fair value; and allows money to be spent when he perceives it’s the best return. Sometimes the parts together are worth more than individually. This team has chemistry. Also, while Bloom did not develop pitching, give him credit for restoring the minors.
I was saying for years that Bloom was doing a great job building the minors and he did draft pitching in his last two seasons but Breslow’s regime has taken pitching to a new level. Ownership seems to be willing to keep a relatively high payroll close to if not slightly above the lux tax line. With all the pitching coming and all the position players with control for years this team is going to shove for years to come.
Payton Tolle dealt yesterday against the Cubs he looked great. His fastball up in the zone is unhittable and his extension is crazy hitters must feel his pitches are released on top of them. He’s nimble to for a huge dude fields his position very well. He also throws strikes he’s going to be a good one.
Bruin, we have to see some of these kids graduate and become quality big leaguers, BUT I will say you make a very good point – at no point can I remember our top prospects being so full of young arms like it is now and that is exciting. Credit to the work they’ve done on that. It’s translated into real prospect capital like we’ve never had at the position before. If it translates to real success in the bigs, then we are cooking with gas!
Bruin – I back you up on Bloom, but in all fairness that was his top priority rather than putting a winning product on the field. A good POBO does both.
Bruin, I don’t think Bloom was bad at building the minors, just the opposite. But Bloom was a deer caught in headlights at trade deadlines. That is what cost him his job, I think.
In fairness to Bloom, He did really well in 2021 when we made our last big run. In 2022-2024, we were on the cusp. We were too good to sell off, but not good enough to move all-in.
Even this year, we’ve spent most of the year in 3rd and 4th place. It’s a tough spot to be trading either way..
Personally, I think you’re giving Bloom a little too much credit for ’22. They knew they had no plans to re-sign any of those guys set to leave that winter, and they were barely mustering a .500 record at the time with them. It was pretty clear what direction they should’ve gone.
But you are correct about 2021. Schwarber and Robles were good pickups. My only regret with Schwarber is that they were not willing to keep him around after that magical run he had with us.
Dirty – Wait, what? “Credit” for a 💩 last place 2022 team?
You had to mean “blame”, right?
I disagree, sympathizing with him that it was hard to pick a direction to move in ’22 would be giving him credit.
I give him blame, because I think he should’ve at least traded JDM, Vazquez, Wacha, and Eovaldi, knowing there was no world in which they were getting brought back.
Man the injuries for Mayer are really starting to stack up for such a young career, definitely getting concerning.
Patriot – That’s why Red Sox Nation was furious that Teel was included in the Crochet trade instead of Mayer. Dave would have made the RIGHT trade.
Teel was the correct choice to include in the Crochet trade. He was a very good yet not quite elite prospect who may not amount to much more than a league average catcher. He doesn’t have great power, and his defense is more solid than spectacular. Mayer is a potentially elite 5-tool shortstop. Add in the fact that Breslow acquired Narvaez (who very well may end up being a better all around catcher than Teel) on the same day he traded Teel away, and the Crochet trade is looking really good for Boston.
More made up stuff from FPG speaking for all of Red Sox nation. Dave would have traded Anthony Mayer and Arias along with Teel in the Crochet trade.
HBan – So you’re gonna ignore Mayer’s injury history or the fact Narvaez is still unproven while Wong is a black hole? And the fact SS is a position of strength between Story and prospects?
Well alrighty then.
I’m not ignoring Mayer’s injury history – he does seem a bit injury prone, but his ceiling is still very high. And Teel is no more “proven” than Narvaez is. Narvaez is on pace for nearly a 6 WAR season, whereas Teel is on pace for a 4 WAR year.
Hban – Narvaez had MLB experience, Teel did not. And again, Teel would have replaced Wong.
Narvaez had 15 plate appearances and played in 6 games. that’s really stretching the world experience.
There’s also no knowing that the trade would have happened without Teel being included. It comes down to how highly the White Sox viewed Mayer. After having Eloy, Roberts, TA, and Moncada spend time on the IL regularly, Mayer may not have had the same value to Getz.
styme – Yeah that’s a fair point, Chicago probably had the same concerns about Mayer’s health that Sox fans have had. I don’t think prospect rankings take into account injury history.
Sorry Fever…. Not me…. Teel will be an average Major League Catcher and maybe have a year or two that he hits close to .300. Mayer will be (already is) a plus/plus Defensive player that will put it all together when he can be completely healthy… and that will come. I’m not buying into the injury prone nonsense.
I was more upset that they traded Braden Mongomery…. you don’t trade a guy that has those tools and is a Switch Hitter on top of it. That is the one that is going to hurt the most.
You have no idea if the White Sox would have accepted Mayer instead of Teel…and there is no way you speak on behalf of millions of fans in Red Sox Nation. Good Lord.
Sucks, but as a lot will soon comment here, he is very fragile making him susceptible to lots of trade rumors. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s traded in the off season….Hope the surgery goes well.
Sox – The window has closed for now. Red Sox Nation was livid Teel got traded instead of Mayer.
No we aren’t. The Sox got Crochet for him and got a young, controllable gold gloves caliber catcher in Narvaez. Why would any fan be upset?
Ellis – Sorry but if you don’t realize how much more Teel could help the Red Sox than Meyer, I don’t know what to say.
You’d rather have Mayer/Wong than Teel? Wow.
Yes
Fever, I don’t always believe what is online or spoken. Are you certain the White Sox would have made the deal with Mayer? My gut tells me other components would have changed. A
Dewey – Mayer was rated #11, Teel #32, Braden #52. Of course Chicago would have accepted Mayer, especially with them already having Quero. And the Sox probably could have kept Meidroth or Montgomery too.
And no, nobody from Chicago is gonna say “We didn’t really want Teel”. 😆
Fever- At the time of the trade nobody knew how bad of a year Wong was going to have. I expected him to be a solid catcher, not spectacular but also not what we got this year. I was surprised Teel was in the deal as we did need a catcher, but at the time Mayer was working his way back and while injury prone he had huge potential.
I am not ready to give up on Mayer yet. It sucks that he needs the surgery, but it is not surprising. My hope is he will come to spring training ready to go. The training staff needs to work on his conditioning and see if they can get him past this whole injury curse.
Uncle – With all due respect, Wong’s offense cratered during the 2nd half of last year and he finished 2024 as the worst defensive catcher in MLB.
Nobody is giving up on Mayer. He’s way too young to give up on.
Fever- I did not remember Wong’s defense was that bad. His offensive stats seemed to be better than the previous year, so even with the decline I thought he had greater potential to keep getting better. Obviously as a backup catcher the offense is definitely an issue, and if his defense is that bad he was not going to be the best option. Luckily Narvaez seems to be a solid starter.
Uncle – I respect you and know you’re genuine, so here’s the stats to prove last year Wong was literally the worst defensive catcher in the league and in MLB (min 700 Innings) and Jansen was not much better. This is one reason why Red Sox Nation was livid about Teel being included in the trade with Chicago.
fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?stats=fld&…
Wong’s rankings:
31 out of 32 in DRS at -17
31 out of 32 in DEF at -7
31 out of 32 in FRV at -10
27 out of 32 in Framing at -7
29 out of 32 in Blocking at -3
32 out of 32 in Catcher ERA at -8
@FPG.
Would rather have Crochet than Teel is the actual trade off. Mayer was not an option since CWS didn’t want him.
Really FPG?! You really believe those published ratings are the gospel for team front offices? Sorry, that’s not reality.
I remember Jansen being such a disappointment and I assume I was just focused on Wong’s offense being better than the previous year. I would think a second catcher will be something they look for in the offseason. If we needed to give up Teel for Crochet, it had to be done but would have been nice to have Teel with Narvaez.
styme – And why did the Sox cave and give them Teel?
Oh yeah … because just as Loumer and countless others have said, the Sox gave away all their leverage when they tried and failed to land multiple other TOR SP’s and the ChiSox knew Boston was desperate. The offseason was horribly mismanaged and they were forced to give up a VERY promising catcher because of their blunders.
BTW – Teel tonight 4-for-5 with a HR and Meidroth tonight 2-for-4 with a walk.
Meanwhile Narvaez is looking very much like a flash in the pan, can’t hit his way out of a wet paper bag and couldn’t hold onto strike three or block the Hicks wild pitch.
styme – Umm …. what are you talking about? If you’re talking about Wong’s rankings from last year, those are defensive metrics based on performance. Yes all defensive metrics are flawed, but FG’s is as good as it gets.
Uncle – Let’s hope Crochet can stay healthy, because if he can’t then the trade could go down as one of the worst ever …. and that’s saying something!
I think you’re the only one of them who was livid.
Hank – Do the research, not hard to find all the people livid about Teel.
FPG: you’re the one who brought it up so show your work instead of making other people do it for you.
He made the majors at 22 years. Pretty impressive for someone who is “very fragile” His career minor league OPS is .826.
He’s next years starter at second base.
What Fever Pitch Guy really means when he says “Red Sox Nation” is furious is “I” was furious. I think most Sox fans would have and still do prefer that Teel was the centerpiece of the Crochet trade over Mayer. I would easily take Mayer/Narvaez over just Teel. Narvaez may well end up being the better all around catcher between the two of them.
FPG frequently confuses RSN with his own opinion. He might be the only person on the planet that would prefer Teel over Mayer/Narvaez.
There was never a choice of Teel or Mayer. The choice was Teel or Crochet. I think they made the correct choice.
He’s not really been hitting but played great defense at third and second this season . On a positive note he will be eligible next season for rookie of the year since he didn’t have enough plate appearances to graduate.
Won’t he have to much time on a Major League roster?
Nope
Maybe thought it was 150 plate appearances but looks like it’s 130 if that is the case he’s 1 over.
130 at bats or 45 games he’s had 127 at bats and 44 games he’s rookie eligible next season.
Bruin – 45 DAYS, not games. He’s been on the active roster from May 24 until he went on the IL.
BTW – It’s crazy the hitting requirement is 130 AB’s instead of PA’S.
Bruin – It’s basically just LHP he struggled against.
Thank God for Story and his 25/25 season with solid defense. Did you see the play he made yesterday?
Karma strikes again.
Raffy was told burn his glove because he is supposedly incapable of playing the field, and then Casas goes down for the season.
Fans scream to release Story because Mayer can take over, and Mayer is done for the season.
Fans and media call Rafaela a MVP candidate, he crashes and burns soon after.
Karma is real.
To all Red Sox fans. Your front office knows what it’s doing, unlike my team. Red Sox in the past, got rid of super star players, Mookie, Devers, etc. Traded for Crochet at the right time. The Yankees unfortunately don’t know how to trade away players. Especially when the right player becomes available. Cashman needs to go. There are so many mistakes year after year. Not trading for Cole for Frazier and Andujar. This past winter, not wanting to include Gil in a Tucker deal. The Yankees refuse to take chances. Trading for Stanton instead of signing Harper. Year after Year mistake after mistake. The Yankees better get Tucker this Off-season or another mistake.
When did the Astros demand for Luis Gil in a Tucker deal? Stop making stuff up. Might as well change your username to mlbbosfan with all the complaining you do about your team.
Cooperstown has just hired an architect to design a new wing in the shape of a baseball glove where they will show replays of every Rafaela play in perpetuity.
Hayzee – Wow, so we get to see him standing off third base getting easily tagged out because he was joking with Hudson instead of paying attention to the game?
And we get to see his face bloodied by the three huge chains he was wearing?
And we get to see Vlad easily take third base because Rafaela dogged it in CF thinking Vlad will never go?
Yeah on second thought, I’ll pass. I don’t need to see all that again.
tough break for the kid. hopefully success and quick recovery.
Some people wrongly assume that the Red Sox had the only choice who they sent to the White Sox. Without K. Teel, maybe the Red Sox don’t get G. Crochet at all?
Let’s not be overly critical of Mayer’s unfortunate injuries. His wrist has been bothersome going back to 2022. Maybe this takes care of it once and for all.
Before jumping all over him and hoping he is traded, let’s not forget he was a top-10 prospect before being called up. He is terrific defensively and his bat will come around.
Anyone “Jumping all over him and hoping he’s traded” Is dumb AF. He’s only 22 years old, he definitely looked like he belonged. Just needs some at bats.
GhostofThomasHamilton
Anyone “Jumping all over him and hoping he’s traded” Is dumb AF.
=========================
I reckon that’ll be about 25% of the RS “fans”.
@Joe I reckon 25% of Red Sox fans really are dumb AF. No lies told
I’m probably the only one who senses the T Story season hopefully playing out like the JD Drew season in WS year… Both Albatrosses of contracts but if TS can come through with big hits in playoffs/ WS All will be forgiven and them some!!!( no record of ever bashing TS even when it got brutal) he single handed won game vs WhiteSox I was at to avoid the sweep!!!👍
That’s kind of how Yankees fans feel about Stanton.
YBC – Stanton has the postseason history, if he’s healthy he’s clutch.
Not gonna replace devers that easily fellas
At a savings of $27 million per year for the next 8 years, we’ll take our chances.
I don’t blame you. He wasn’t the bad guy till he became one though.
Speedy recovery, kid.
Better this now than having him try to come back down the stretch and risk further injury
Tough loss today but sometimes the other team beats you. I hope Whitlock gets better next year, I think he will. Weissert has already pitched too much, he’s their most overused guy. They have a pretty good bullpen but a few of those guys are inconsistent so the more consistent guys get used too much. Weissert is just a punching bag. It’s what Boonedoggle does to his bullpen every year, and Cora needs to NOT follow that rube. He’s smarter than that. Come on.
Cora was trying to trust Hicks with the 9th inning in games he couldn’t use Chapman but that blew up spectacularly. Not sure why they don’t let Whitlock get more save opportunities especially when Weissert looks totally gassed
Campbell needs to be released, there are better options in the minors. You need someone fresh to give Weissert a rest. Give Burdi another shot, although he is not on the 40 man roster so would use Campbell’s spot if he were released.
I hope we are not planning on carrying 3 catchers much longer, especially if we are not even going to use Sanchez (not that it would open a spot for a pitcher, just seems like a wasted roster spot).
Campbell’s performance on Saturday wound up costing us today’s game. I liked the trade at the time, but Campbell has to go.
At this point they should bring Bernardino back up and release Campbell. Yes it would be unconventional to have 5 lefties in the bullpen but at this point it’s about getting outs, not what hand you throw with
Wrist injuries linger. Even though he will be back in time for showing training its doubtful he will be 100%. That’s unfortunate.
