Franchy Cordero, the enigma

Ah, the poison pill move they did with Muñoz, Weber, and Puello last year.

So he's guaranteed 825k next year, but he starts next season in Worcester and he's off the 40 man roster until he gets called up? No, that's what he makes in the majors. He won't make the standard Triple-A salary (maybe something like $100k?) but certainly less than the MLB minimum while in Worcester.

So, he signed a premium minor league contract for next year. It doesn't cost anything against the CBT (under current rules) unless he gets called up, and he's eligible for the Rule 5 draft?
Not sure I would have advised Franchy to sign that deal without testing the free agency waters first.

I figured something like this was in the works, otherwise the timing was funny.

Personally, I would be surprised if the Red Sox do NOT dfa Potts and Rosario. They have fallen way down the prospect depth chart, and are many more players that need to be added!

This is why I thought something had to be up, as Franchy, the headliner of a recent trade, didn't seem like the first guy that would be let go, just to let Valdez back on the 40-man. Of course, Potts and Rosario aren't getting $800k big-league contracts any time soon, either...

I would be very surprised if they went unclaimed by the likes of the Pirates, Oriels, Royals.....

If you wanted to say "the Major League received in a recent trade" then fine but he was not the "headliner" at all. No, that's what he makes in the majors. He won't make the standard Triple-A salary (maybe something like $100k?) but certainly less than the MLB minimum while in Worcester. and if anyone had claimed him following the DFA or in the upcoming Rule5, who is responsible for the 825K the Red Sox or the claiming team? Teams claiming a player on waivers or drafting guys in rule 5 pay them. You are thinking of players who are released, who are owed their full contracts by the releasing team minus whatever they're paid by the new team.

V happy to see more moon shots into the polar vortex It seems Polar Park is an easy place to hit HRs. I wonder how many HRs hit there translate into other parks....?

Baseball Amereica released minor league park factors this year, and they claim that Polar Park increases home runs by 18% (although it decreases runs overall by 1%). I'm not sure if they used a sound methodology or not.

I would be very surprised if the Red Sox didn't try to do something to fix it. The jet stream eminates from an opening in the outside of the stadium for the beer garden behind home plate, comes down the section behind home and then blows strongly out to right field. It's something of a Bernoulli effect because the air gets sort of pressurized in that area behind home, I think. In August, they had to put screens up to block the strong wind because it was wreaking havoc with the vendors in that area behind home - I presume napkins blowing about, potentially burners even getting blown out, etc. One figures they'll probably install some kind of windscreen there and it may have an effect.

I am very happy for Franchy! I hope he does well in his second opportunity with the Red Sox.

It's going to take some time adjusting to seeing Franchy come up in a big spot and thinking "Okay, big hit coming up here!"

I was really rooting for Franchy to succeed, but considering he is on the Yankees, that has put my support on hold, as every year I would love to see the Yankees end of season record 0-162 (not possible but you get the point). I, as most on this site, do not think what he is currently doing is sustainable, but every win he helps the Yankees obtain is one more than I would like to see….rivalry be damned.

First Matt Carpenter and now Franchy. Yanks are wizards when it comes to fixing broken lefties.

Now comes the part of the cycle where he hits .285 with a handful of homers in AAA, Judge gets hurt, you say “maybe he’s figured something out”, and the cycle repeats

How does Franchy still have options? He's been bopping up and down since 2017.
