Oy...What is the big deal? Are fans just impatient to see the new toys because we wanna see a spark or what? We're talking a week and a half here...This is no different than when Gunnar was called up. And this sealone is done...so what's the difference?

August 15th deadline for ROY next year, lol I have long since accepted this is how the league does things with the best prospects this close to that.

45 days on Mlb roster prior to September 1st or 130 at bats. 

That's what makes them not a rookie. 

Are they worried they  are going to end up over 130 ab's?

Hm...well then there's the other part of bringing up your best prospect and having them sit on and off the bench just to avoid the 130 mark. Teams may prefer more consistent playing time for the best ones? Just speculating

Beavers isn’t even a top 100 prospect right now. So this roster manipulation bullshit is all for the vanishingly small chance that he gets added to those lists at the end of the season and then wins RotY in 2026. 
 

The big deal is that management is prioritizing this microscopic chance of an extra 2027 draft pick over the CURRENT FAN EXPERIENCE. They’re raising ticket prices and forcing fans to watch an outfield of Greg Allen (who??), Dylan Carlson, and Ryan Noda. If you had a healthy high-performing outfield this conversation would be moot. But it’s not. Your outfield is decimated and you have someone who’s knocking the cover off the ball at AAA.
