Interesting. Someone must have been reading the article at mlb.com that mentioned Laureno as a possible pick-up in the wake of Acuna's injury. He...

Makes sense at the 40-man roster level because he has to go on this fall or be exposed to the Rule 5. Curious to see how he'll do if this unfolds as...
