Things have slowed down on the bus over the past couple of weeks… mostly. The Rookie Leagues are well under way, and mid-season transactions have slowed as a result. So let’s see what’s happened in the two weeks since we last looked in (July 16-August 2nd).
Hmmm…. should I go ahead and mention tomorrow’s transaction? It’ll probably go like this:
- B.J. Upton re-activated from 15-day disabled list (Atlanta)
Todd Cunningham optioned to AAA Gwinnett- Nope: it’s Gerald Laird to the DL, retroactive to 7/26, as he recovers from the kidney stone procedure he had a couple of days ago.
