ESPN has Weber today on short rest. Makes sense to me.
He went 51 pitches, 4 inn on Tuesday

As a manager, you want to put your players in a position to succeed. Was it constructive to have Leyer throw a 38-pitch inning? With Biggio LHB leading off the 6th, Taylor could have faced one more batter. Maybe shorten the inning for Leyer.

Mazza: probably not the one in the new bunch that you expected to have success. 27th round draft choice.
Red Sox Nation likely doesn't realize he's 30. All 5 starters are age 29 to 31. This is not their youth movement.

Kickham, Trigg, I mean,where they getting these guys.? This, on top of Brewer, Spring and the long parade of never-heard-ofs who have graced the mound at Fenway Park. Is this the best our GM can do? It is embarrassing to this franchise that it cannot find decent replacements for the loss of the staff because of injuries and trades. Don’t expect anyone to replace a Sale, E-Rod, Price, etc., but fans should hope that the administration would bring in respectable pitchers and not make this franchise a laughing stock. Other teams are in a playoff race and have stockpiled AAA pitching. Josh Smith would probably be better, but I don't think he's available. The only other name I can think of is .... Josh Smith. I give GM Bloom an A+.

FYI There are no more trades allowed during 2020 season. Period. None. No waiver trade for someone like JBJ or Eovaldi. No non-roster players can be traded. Lucroy or Tapia. www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/phillies/mlb-september-roster-rules-2020-mlb-season?amp="The 2020 trade deadline was a hard deadline, meaning no trades can be made in September, even via waivers. The only way for a team to add a player outside the organization in September is to claim him via outright waivers after he is designated for assignment ... To be eligible for the postseason, a player must be on his team's active roster by 11:59 on Sept. 15. (40-man roster, injury substitutes)"

Padres:
now have 2 LHB 1B. Hosmer & Mitch. Mitch: DH INF RHB FRANCE is now their 10th man. Plays when Mitch sits, etc.
If the DH ends, they won't carry both 1B into next season. Hosmer has 5 years left on his big contract. Hafta think the SD ballpark isn't a great match for Moreland.

186 days normal 2020 season 66 days actual 2020 season
multiplier is 186/66 = 2.82 78 / 2.82 = 27.67 do they round up? if not, 27 service days in 2020 is not enough for Pivetta to get a full year to 3.00, but 28 days is enough for him.
66-27=39 39 days in ATS keeps him at 27 days in MLB and below 3.00 service time, end of 2020.
39 days would be September 19th. (Yeah, 27 service days pro-rates to 76 days ... added to 94 is 170. Short of a year which is 172.)

Eric, just some points of info: 3) Pivetta was with the MLB club until he was optioned on 8/11. I actually have a question in with a source to see how long he'd need to stay down for the Red Sox to get an extra year of control. --------- DFA, I think manipulating the service time to get an extra year of control is of far more importance than preserving his option. my best recollection: 2021, next season - 172-94=78 days of service time in 2021 would put him at 4.00. So Sox would need to keep him at 77 service days, or in AAA for 106 days. (183-77) 2020, this season - keeping him at ATS this year instead, pro-rates by about 3. That is 35 days at ATS ... September 15. (106/3=35) I'll try to come up with my best answer in about 15 min.

I wonder what you could get for trading one of those guys, eating their full salary, and then adding on like $10,000,000 in cash. Joe Rudi. Maybe Rollie Fingers.

"if a player is traded after being "Recalled - Not to Report" and then is optioned to the minors by his new club within 24 hours after the trade, the player can be recalled (without any restriction) prior to spending ten days on option." Pivetta's 20th day is 8/31. (Burns last option year) He can be recalled before then. (Avoid the burning) www.thecubreporter.com/book/export/html/3521I hope the Sox get 5 years from him. '20 BOS, minimum. 3.094 '21 BOS/AAA, last option year, ARB. 75 days or fewer in MLB. 3.169 '22 BOS, ARB. 4.169 '23 BOS, ARB. 5.169 '24 BOS, ARB. 6.169 Free agent

Shawaryn, Gonsalves, Arroyo are all DFA this week. With open spot, Sox can pull one back to roster, either BEFORE or after waivers. Rules allow it.
Save Arroyo.
I can footnote, if necessary.

A. Both are NL milb pitcher. Both are lousy, lousy hitters. Pivetta can't bunt and won't take a walk. B. Pivetta, RHP age 27, appears to have an option left, hopefully for '21. '17, optioned. '18 MLB D.L. '19 optioned. 8-11-20 optioned. 2.094 service time, end '19. FA Oct'23 at earliest. www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=180877&View=TranxC. Seabold RHP age 24. Rule 5, Dec '20. So going on the 40-man very soon. PS If scouts refer to you as an "under the radar prospect", you aren't flying low enough.

FYI
Phil's bullpen ERA is 8.00
Phillies want to stay under the luxury tax. Thus, Sox are paying 85% of remaining salary for '20. So, it's not an extra $800k ... just the money in the payroll commitments.
Awesome trade. Sox Nation wants to see these guys in the rotation ... next few weeks.
Workman, Hembree: you can watch them this October in playoffs.

Maybe you haven't been watching the games ... those were outings of 16, 21, 16, 19, 18, and 21 PA respectively. He's third on the team in sample size, after Eovaldi and Perez. And the point is that this is not remotely a normal distribution in either the technical or common sense
no reason to project him any differently than his 4.93. I do think Plawecki could be extended and pitch hitless baseball for a full season. He has been dominant from what I’ve seen. Plawecki would insist on having Lin as his personal catcher, which would be a hassle.

Groome: Plan A ... added to 40 in Nov '20. Optioned. Doubtful on call-up in Sept '21. Plan B ... 2 weeks in Bos this Sept. (x 3 = 40 days service.) Doubtful on call-up in Sept '21.
What they do with him each Sept barely effects his service time. Maybe they'll give him the "cup of coffee".
Duran: Plan A ... add to 40 and call up Sept '21, in the mix for some roster time in '22. Plan B ... add to 40 and call up Sept '20. in the mix for some roster time in '21
On Plan B, Duran presumably would be used a bit next year because most 40-man players need to contribute. Groome, on the other hand, will be a "non-contributing" 40-man player in '21.

I don't see any reason that Groome can't face the minimum 3 batters at the bottom of the lineup. In Boston, in Sept. Then come back 3 days later to do it again. But I'm sure they will do the right thing. Meanwhile, Duran & Downs don't belong near the 40-man roster until summer '21 Jarren Duran not being ready to play in the majors but Groome being ready is quite a take. soxprospects.com/rule5.htmI don't know if the Sox are ready to accelerate Duran's service time, etc.

Which teams wants Shawaryn or Gonsalves in MLB for 2020? Which team wants to carry either on their 40-man over the winter? At age 26.
That's why they are both likely to make it thru waivers. Gonsalves is milbfa this Oct '20. Shawaryn is milbfa in Oct '21. Sox have another year.

Our new pitcher. He kinda fits in.
