I don't see them releasing JD. I wouldn't be surprised if he was nursing multiple injuries, so I do think playing him less, giving him some healing time, isn't a bad idea at all.
I do hope they'll bring Casas up sometime soon, but the issues there are 1) adding him to the 40 man (which means releasing someone), and 2) finding playing time for him with a somewhat crowded first/DH rotation. I do think they're getting close to it though.
Thanks, Matt.
Two thoughts, one for this season and one moving forward.
It may be time to release JDM and promote Casas to DH and play a little 1b.
JD hasn’t hit at all since June, and looks like he may be done. Even if he isn’t, he’s gone this winter.
Second, Devers. If the Red Sox come up with the money, he’ll stay. He’s tight with Cora and seems to truly enjoy playing in Boston
Hey Walt, always good to hear from you.
