The Atlanta Braves, who lead the NL East by 9.5 games and are leading the league in designating Carlos Carrasco for assignment, have made a roster move before tonight\u2019s game with the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lookie lookie lookie, here comes Cookie. I don\u2019t quite understand why MLB doesn\u2019t just allow teams to hold 14 pitchers on the active roster, but I really, really believe they need it. Carlos Carrasco is a perfectly fine long reliever. Just let him have the Josh Tomlin<\/a> spot in the bullpen. It\u2019s bad enough we have people out there talking about trading Ronald Acu\u00f1a<\/a> when this place exploded last year at the thought of not signing an extension. We don\u2019t need this, Alex. I\u2019m not quite this level internet annoyed<\/a>, but come on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You know who he is. Carlos Carrasco has gotten 22 outs this season. That\u2019s just over 7 outs per DFA. He has a 2.45\/4.17\/3.75 line this season and 0.0 WAR. Come on Braves, quit making Carlos follow you guys around the country in a rented Escalade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Atlanta Braves, who lead the NL East by 9.5 games and are leading the league in designating…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":715525,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2394],"tags":[191,46,4166,5,192,2224,182,89560,5056,4,62,9684,295,70,5824],"class_list":["post-715524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-atlanta-braves","tag-atlanta","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-atlantabraves","tag-baseball","tag-braves","tag-carlos-carrasco","tag-florida","tag-josh-tomlin","tag-kim-klement","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-ronald-acuna","tag-tampa","tag-toronto-blue-jays","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116681563585635436","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
