I’m assuming the pointless 3rd catcher will be sent down
Has his hitting improved at all?
aaaand thats us officially throwing in the towel…see you boys & girls in 2026
Oh lawd. He comin’
I too like to gamble. On a serious note, I hope he succeeds, he seems like a great person. I’ve seen him interact with fans, he seems like a great teammate so there is absolutely no reason to wish for the guy to fail. A lot of players have been sent down and came back to succeed, why not MJ?
Oh boy. We’re rumored to be sellers and will use the remainder of the season to give MJ one more chance. Small market baseball is exhausting.
His numbers in Triple AAA have been good as far as I’m aware, im fine with this
😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪😐😐😐
Oh Jesus fucking Christ
And as usual, no one in this sub understands that Omaha/the PCL is an extremely offense friendly environment. MJ Melendez is not a good baseball player.
MJ Melendez my beloved PLEASE do something with this last chance I’M ON MY KNEES
We will find out if he can hit MLB pitching. If not, then we need to finally give up on him. He batted .206 last season and was hitting .085 this season when sent down. This should be the last chance.
Welp. Chiefs Training Camp should be soon upon us, if it hasn’t begun already.
(Please cook hard and make us all eat crow MJ, it’d be great for the team and great for the memes.)
Might as well just call up Pratto while we’re at it
I wish we weren’t in the PCL
Nice someone to take under .5 hits easy money
My 9/11
My assumption is that they explored their options in the OF and after seeing the options, coupled with our performance/record, this is probably the time to just give MJ another chance and see if his swing has improved at all. I’m not going to be surprised if this move also signals Lugo being moved before the deadline.
I genuinely want to see MJ do well if we do actually call him up. Hopefully his success is AAA translates this time, and if not I hope it allows him to be a candidate to move somewhere he is able to thrive.
It’s after the ASB. He’s good to go. Lol. I don’t know why this dude can’t hit before August.
Bring back Water’s beautiful blinking eyes
Man I know he’s struggled but I do like him. He looks like he’s a real athlete and has so much potential. I hope he does well.
MERV IS BACK!!!!!!
Oh shit. It’s happening
Good call to give him a chance. Last years MJ, which was not very good, was still better than the production from our OF this year.
Sure glad they’re trying to piss the season away.
MY WEIRD LITTLE GUY IS COMING BACK 🥹
Can’t wait to have another automatic out on the team. Great.
