1. I mean, yeah, it’s the right call…

   🙁

2. Thanks for the amazing 2024 postseason Big Christmas

   Please stop swinging at pitches 2 feet into the next batters box

3. Big Christmas my beloved 💔

4. I hope Jhonk figures it out elsewhere and succeeds.

5. Christmas is canceled

6. We’ll always have ALCS game 3

7. First Bobby, then SpongeBob, and now Big Christmas.  Surely we’ll have big bopper develop someday.

8. 

9. I hope that means they have plans for a big league outfielder. Big Christmas can’t hit for shit when it comes to average, but he’s more than capable of hitting a bomb at any moment. How many of our other outfielders can say the same thing?

10. Can’t wait for him to go hit 40 HRs for Tampa Bay

11. Brihul fits the Guardians mold well. Analytically and in terms of velocity he is somewhat similar to a southpaw version of Nick Sandlin. Low velocity, low hitter exit velocity and few barrels, solid extension.

12. Big Christmas might be hitting 500’ bombs for the Savannah Bananas soon

13. I’ve watched is homer in the 2024 ALCS probably a million times now. Goodnight sweet prince.

14. How much cash tho

15. Now to launch Rodriguez directly into the sun and we’ll be iight

16. Well, JN can’t seem to figure out how to not violently strike out on a regular basis. It sucks because he has maybe one of the greatest nicknames of all time.

17. I hope Seattle picks him up. That way they have the 2 players with the most dump truck 🍑’s the league has ever seen. Big dumper and big xmas would be quite the sight to see lol

18. Yeah….. He’s almost certainly getting picked up

    Results thus far be damned, that power potential is so tantalizing

    Hate to see him go. Just get the feeling somebody’s gonna figure him out.

19. the ultimate lump of coal under the tree

20. https://preview.redd.it/10nquteoyt7g1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b92b91c5ddca4927260c77ceb25bc4d87c9659d

21. Maybe he’ll just never be good, but we used him so poorly this past season. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he does end up succeeding somewhere else

22. I would have much rather seen Jonathan Rodriguez get DFA’d tbh

23. Are we gonna add anyone other than pitchers or….?

24. The Grinch who dfa’d Christmas

25. https://preview.redd.it/lamgwjpx1u7g1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7875a5fe527392b5cf364d2cdf081f62522f82b2

    Collecting pitchers like infinity stones huh…

26. The $14.99 I spent on his jersey from DHGate: Down the drain 😭

27. Ah so we’re hoping to coast with pitching to make it to the World Series. I mean it’s not like if our pitchers give up one run it’s game over with our offense, right? Right???

28. i wonder if jesus aguilar and franmil reyes just added him to a groupchat

29. Maybe leaving Cleveland means he’ll finally get close enough to hit the pitches he swings at.

    But one big impact will keep him in my memory forever.

30. Damn…

31. Another player that Tampa Bay will rehab into a near all star

32. Damn. The team went out and got their big name pitcher.

33. I’m sad, but not surprised

34. If he could have changed that batting stance and learned to layoff the slider, or anything a mile off the plate things might have been different. He has the raw power. I hope he finds a home and works things out.

35. I know he was straight up horrible outside of the 2024 run but this decision is going to come back to haunt us

36. 

37. That dude delivered a top 5 sports moment for me. We lost that series, sure. But that place erupted.
