Active Roster Moves 2021

[G-Fafif]

Guillorme activated, Blankenhorn optioned.

[bmfc1]

Good news from Ohio on Nimmo.

This doesn't speak well for the Office Hospital of the New York Mets.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yay Ohio-based hand surgeon!

[Edgy MD]

[bIGPURPLE]MVO-BHS!! MVO-BHS!! MVO-BHS!![/bIGPURPLE]

[bmfc1]

While a plethora of specialists from the Hospital for Special Surgery and elsewhere in the NY area stared at Nimmo's hand, Pillar got hit in the face, Almora and a wall collided, and we had to watch Khalil Lee hit, we needed the diagnosis of [i'll believe this until told otherwise] a small-town Dr. in Ohio whose wife is his nurse and his office is in his barn.

[Edgy MD]

You say, "Doctor from Ohio," and I think, "Johnny Fever?"

[bmfc1]

SRF is back. I'm guessing that Barnes is out.

[seawolf17]

Barnes has been *terrible* all season. No idea how he's lasted this long.

No options. You try to send him down, you'll run the risk of losing him. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, actually.

[G-Fafif]

Sean Reid-Foley recalled, Jacob Barnes DFA'd.

[G-Fafif]

Yennsy Diaz is Man 27.



Albert Almora looms for the second game today.

[bmfc1]

[G-Fafif]

Lucchesi to the IL with left elbow inflammation (damn), clearing a spot for Almora.

[bmfc1]

If the Mets knew that Lucchesi was hurt at 1 PM and not 4 PM then why didn't they activate Almora for the first game so they would have an extra bat? It didn't matter but it could have.

[bmfc1]

I hope that Mason Williams gets through waivers.

[Edgy MD]

Not a move I readily understand.



Does anybody believe the difference-maker today is going to be having a 14th pitcher available?

[bmfc1]

I agree. Unless several RPs are not available then why was this done today at the expense of another bench option rather than tomorrow? They could even have waited until Game 2 tomorrow if Eickhoff is the SP for that game.

[seawolf17]

Gsellman to the IL with a lat injury too, sez the internet. No word on a replacement yet, but dollars to donuts it's Nick Tropeano.

[Edgy MD]

Donuts to dollars it's Jeff McNeil.

[seawolf17]

Oh, of course. Forgot he was back today.

[Edgy MD]

I didn't know he was. I just thought he was about due.

[G-Fafif]

McNeil indeed activated ahead of Game One. Rojas says they're figuring out grade of Gsellman's strain. No 27th man noted yet.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Tarpley, sez the Puma

[G-Fafif]

“You always call up a Tarpley when there's a threat of rain.”

[Edgy MD]

It seems to me that the 40-man roster was created to support 25-man teams with 21-day disabled list assignments.



Then they had to support 25-man teams with 15-day disabled list assignments. Then they had to support 25-man teams with 10-day disabled list assignments. Then they had to support 25-man teams that expanded to 26 for double-headers, along with 10-day disabled list assignments. Then they had to support 26-man teams that expanded to 26 for double-headers, along with 10-day disabled list assignments.



This inflation seems bonkers to me, but if this is the way it's going to be, they eventually have to expand the 40-man as well.

[G-Fafif]

Familia to the IL (right hip impingement); Y. Diaz activated.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Y not

[Edgy MD]

That leaves deGrom as the only active player on the Mets from the 2015 World Series.
