9:23 am: Orioles announced they chose Jackson’s contract and placed Sanchez on the injured list with a sprained right knee. Jorge Mateo Moved to the 60-day injury list, creating a 40-man lineup for Sanchez.
8:44 AM: Orioles have been captured Alex Jackson According to Yankees’ announcement, in exchange for international signing bonus pool funds and a named player or cash consideration. Jackson is not in the 40-man squad, so unless Baltimore picks Jackson to go to Jackson for promotion, there will be no need to take corresponding actions.
This move comes after the receiver Gary Sanchez The club described it as yesterday’s Oriole game “The right knee pain.” As Matt Weyrich of Baltimore Suns points out, interim manager Tony Mansolino There was no more specific diagnosis after the game, but it was noted that Sanchez would have an MRI last night. The results of the MRI are not available yet, but it seems that on the table it seems to be a trip to the injured list. Weyrich is the catcher reported this morning David Banuelos Sanchez has been added to the medical taxi squad after his injury and is now acquiring Jackson this morning, adding another potential alternative to Sanchez.
Jackson, 29, was ranked sixth by the Mariners in the 2014 draft, but was not a member of the Braves until 2019. He has won 124 games in the Grand Slams in part of his five major league seasons, with his biggest performance last year being a member of the Rays. Jackson offers solid gloves behind the plate, but has little offensive value, while the pro slash line is only .132/.224/.232. His performance in Tampa is weaker than he has reached only .122/.201/.237 in 58 games, which has earned him 29 WRC+, not only 71% worse than the league average, but his second place is second worst of all players in at least 150 cricket matches in the Grand Slam last year.
It’s not an exciting profile, but Jackson still offers some depth to the Orioles when other options are extremely necessary for the club. Start the capture Adley Rutschman Has been absent from tilted pressure and depth capturers since June 19 Maverick Handli and Chadwick Tromp Both are affected by their own harm. That’s the left backup capture Gary Sanchez Playing the starting role when you get a backup backup of the fifth string Jacob stalls. With Sanchez now appearing to be fined for his own IL, Banuelos or Jackson can be asked to back up Stallings, and the 35-year-old has embarked on the starting role.
Orioles seem likely to be leaning towards the sixth catcher (and earning a seventh) as this injury highlights their refusal to promote the top prospect Samuel Basallo Go to professional. The 20-year-old is the top 15 prospect in the sport, shooting the cover ball down in Triple-A this year, cutting .253/.372/.547, with 16 home runs in just 58 games and walking at 15.6%. Although GM Mike Elias advised him “hope” It’s clear to see Basallo play in the Grand Slam this year, and Baltimore isn’t very interested in bringing him to the Grand Slam at the moment. Maybe later in the season, he could be summoned as a September call, or there might be a specific aspect of the Basallo game, and the Orioles think further development is needed before he debuts. Like his bats, there has been a constant doubt about the defensive ability behind cricket, which could lead the Orioles to cautiously bring him to professional situations because he is a regular catcher without more seasonings.
