Yessir. Basically unless you are on the 40-man roster, the club doesn't have rights to your contract in theory (technically the contracts are assigned to the individual minor league clubs).

I don't know how you guys are staying up for these games like this. It's only 9:30 here, but by 11:30, I like to have been out for 1.5 hours...and I know that not everyone on here is simply younger than my 50 years of age.

I'd like to see more of that from pitchers, trying to bunt for a hit.

63 and always stay to the end. Of course, I don't get up until 8. Advantages ( the only one) of being a business owner.

Did someone glue Cozart's bat to his shoulder that at-bat?
