Gold Glove Awards
We are SHUT OUT from Gold Gloves… mean.
Detroit CF
Pedro Figueroa(31, 3*) collected his 5th Gold Glove.
Reliever of the Year
Welborn was on the menu at the trade deadline but we decided to go with
Ide…
Oh, for
Fletcher, it is the second Award for the 35-year old veteran and he passed 400 saves this season, good for 3rd in NMLB history and 8 behind recently retired
Jared Hughes.

News:
November 6th – LF
Huai-yu Mah(28, 2.5*,.266-6-28 .738OPS -0.2WAR) was released today.
November 7th – All our candidates for extension have signed… and due to the lack of trade options, we offered RF
Ian Messer a 1y/$4.4M contract extension… but decided to let
Austin Williams go. His scouting report dropped again and he is not worth $7M. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t fetch any trade interest.
November 7th – AAA RHRP
Bill Bell(23, 2/2.5*, 2-4 4SV 3.78 30K 0.1WAR AAA) was waived and DFA’ed today. We felt that he is not the guy we hoped he would be. Will get another chance in the minors without being on the 40-man if he stays.
