If they don't put him back on the 40 before the end of the season, he'll become a minor league free agent

Appears you'll need to wait at least one more day since it was just Buxton this afternoon. Might as well hit another Triple-A bomb for good measure

Appears to have been Steve with nine. I got two somehow, an all-time horrendous performance

I don't know anything about Jacob Lopez.  Is he a good bet to stick in the A's rotation?

Triple-A numbers this year have been great -- he was leading the PCL in strikeout rate when I looked that up last week -- but he sits around 90 and gives up a ton of fly balls. Tough profile to make work, especially in that park

He carved against Philly and was bombed in his other MLB starts. Didn't get out of the second inning in Toronto yesterday. Feels like a guy who'll bounce on and off throughout the season even in a pretty bad overall rotation
Alright I need to wrap up here

Thanks for all the questions! As always, feel free to throw stuff at me on X @affranco10 and I'll try to get back to you over the weekend

Steve will be back for his Monday chat next week after sitting this one out for the holiday weekend. I'll do this again next Friday
Hope you all have a great weekend!
