Not defending MLBPA on this front, but they don't care about most minor-leaguers, because most minor-leaguers won't ever be major-leaguers (and thus union members). In this case, however, you're talking about top prospects that almost certainly will become major-leaguers, so I think the union would feel differently.

i'm sure there's plenty of teams who would like to see what they've got in a guy but don't want to burn any service time.

HeHe-- Strasburg pulls a Hampton and gets ejected from game. Even worse, he wasn't in Uni, was sitting in stands and Ump tossed him for verbal abuse of Umps calls from behind plate.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

One of the two Cleveland pitchers who broke covid protocols apparently made a six-minute video, while he was driving, blaming the media for everything.
They've been optioned out because it was what their teammates in the clubhouse wanted. Those goddamn media members in uniform.
lol what??? i want to see that
Here's the article, in which there is a link to the video, I haven't watched it myself as my internets isn't fast enough for streaming video.

the Indians are damn good at producing pitchers tho. where do they find all these guys
I would actually love a short summation of his line of logic, BTW.
The video has been taken down BTW.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
He’s right. The media is terrible.
However they aren’t at fault here.
You're right. They keep churning out aces.
It’s too bad they are wasting Lindor and Ramirez though.
They're competitive every year and almost won the WS. Can't ask for more than that
More recently they have been less than average on offense. They aren’t even trying to get better offensively.
Well they are one of the lower payroll teams in the league. They only have so many resources. Don't forget they traded Bauer in the middle of contending for the division title last year and got a young controllable hitter in return. They got Puig and Franmil Reyes in that trade.
Speaking of Puig, think we still interested?
Good question. Duvall has been an unexpected surprise this year as his contact rate is better (knock on wood) and he's hanging in there (though not well) against RHPs. A Francoeur-esque HR for the game-winner last night. I think any interest in Puig would hinge on the status of Acuna's wrist, but Puig can't play CF, so unless they would view him as an everyday guy in RF (with a Duvall/Markakis platoon in LF), he probably doesn't make a lot of sense. All this said, they sure could use another bat right now.
Can he play 3B? Then no.
There's no room for Puig now, so why would we be interested?
