Left-handed pitcher Richard Bleier couldn't figure it out on the mound, as he's struggled all season in the Boston Red Sox bullpen. As a result, the team made the decision to designate Bleier for assignment, and in a corresponding move decided to call up Dinelson Lamet, a pitcher that had previously been DFAd and eventually released by the Colorado Rockies. Gabby analyzes the move and why it's a win-win for the Red Sox.
Noah Song has returned to the Red Sox. After being selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the Rule 5 Draft, he was recently DFAd. After clearing waivers, he returned to Boston for a $50,000 fee and will begin his assignment in High-A Greenville. Gabby explains the weird rules that come with the Rule 5 Draft and how Song was able to come back to the Red Sox.
This episode also includes an update on Kyle Teel, the stud catcher that Boston drafted in the first round of the 2023 MBL Draft. He was recently called up to High-A Greenville and appears to be capable of moving through the farm system very quickly.
