Uggla released; Pasotornicky called up

[BRule]

Per Rosenthal, not 100% if it's DFA or cut but he's gone. 5 mil this year and 13 next year down the drain

 

[57Brave]

moving on -- will they recall Gosslin? (sp?) or Jamie???

They can't recall for another few days. You have to remain down in AAA for 10 days unless there was an injury

 

[Dalyn]

Could save a little if some team takes a chance on him.

 

[Krovahn]

Hope he can figure it out somewhere and make a comeback. He was tough to watch, but, he was a good guy and nearly always gave it his all, he just didn't have it anymore. Tough move from the Braves on a personal standpoint, but, it is the right move.

Oh happy day.

Atlanta Braves ‏@Braves 1m

The Braves have released 2B Dan Uggla. A corresponding roster move will be made prior to tonight's game.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Had to be done. Plain and simple

I don't generally like doing "cold maps" but here is one for former Braves 2B Dan Uggla pic.twitter.com/CmriRJpH5f

I wonder who we'll bring up. Can't be Gosselin because of the ten day rule. More than likely it'll be an infielder.

I'd like to see Cunningham. Hopefully, he will play Schafer off the team much like Stella! did with Uggla.

I assume that red blob represents the two pitches Uggla hit for homers against the Phillies back in April.

That's what I'm thinking.

 

[AerchAngel]

Wow, they're going to eat the contract. I wonder if BJ's next.

20 mil and don't have to do a thing. Cool.

 

[50PoundHead]

But what a cocked up circus to get to this point. Just release him last week so Gosselin's not on the escalator.

I would guess Cunningham or Reyes until they can recall Gossellin.

 

[jsebe10]

Like I said the other day. Met him on the field on Memorial Day and you prob won't find a nicer guy. Just a Shame what happened to him but this HAD to be done. Best of luck to him

Upton has 3 and a half years left, he's not being cut.

Upton has 3 and a half years left, he's not being cut.

And at least Upton can play defense and run a bit. He's grossly overpaid, but can at least bring something to the table.
