Busy first day of the month. Looks like we might get to see the high college draftees get some ABs for Clearwater.

That Spikerman SS listing apparently did not last that long. Good to see a few draftees play even if we might not see the two HS guys.

This is disappointing for a lot us us phans, as only a few years ago many of us saw Muzz as a possible contributor at the ML level. Another example of how careers for these young men can be fleeting, although he may hitch on with another team.

He was pretty much done once he got removed from the 40 (or, even more arguably, when he did not factor at all into the major league roster last year). I assume he was six weeks away from minor league free agency in any case, but also an organizational roster limit casualty at this point.

Yeah, he was not really done until he stopped getting better. Also was always a tweener like Marsh as only an OK CF and better in the corners.

This is the week where all the draftees need to be part of the 165 limit so you are seeing a bunch of releases and IL moves. In past years more of the releases would have been staged at the end of the year.

Castillo and Hall both cleared waivers and are back on the Iron Pigs. Phillies also DFA'ed Nick Nelson to claim Kyle Tyler off the Marlins.

Nelson also cleared and was outrighted back to LV. Inquirer reported Castillo was released but that's not what transactions say.

Yes, it is. The Major League transactions page says Castillo was outrighted on 8/11. The Minor League transactions page says he was released by the IronPigs on 8/12.

Note: Lots of transactions today (8/13).

Ah. So what, he got one more day of AAA pay?

Ricardo Pinto among the latest releases.

Not sure, but Castillo may have asked to be released. Or not; he'll be a free agent in a few weeks regardless, since he's not a a 40-man roster.

The Inquirer note was confusing because the Nelson DFA came after the Hall and Castillo DFA.

… After getting removed from the 40-man roster last week, first baseman Darick Hall and righty Nick Nelson cleared waivers and were outrighted to triple A. Right-hander Max Castillo cleared waivers and was released.

Just seemed odd the Phillies didn't simply release him before outrighting him but maybe they weren't yet sure of all the moving pieces. Obviously he couldn't refuse the assignment, though as you say, he could have asked.

Also can't be fun for two guys who actually contributed to the 2022 World Series team to be of no interest to any team in MLB. Nelson more than Hall, IMO, since relievers and depth starters are much more of a merry-go-round.

If there's anything I've learned, it's that you can't rely on the beat writers to get all the mechanics of waivers, outrights, releases - transactions in general - entirely correct. I mean, most of the time they do, but they don't sweat the details all that much; and they don't generally address minor-league transactions at all, unless the transaction involves some player they've "noticed" - which isn't most of them.

MLB and MILB post the transaction records (eventually - not always in anything close to real time), and rarely post something that's just wrong. Note that official dates of transactions often vary from when they're first reported by media (or by someone like Steve Potter, who gets the information directly from people in Clearwater - but whose reporting might come well ahead of actual approval of a transaction by the PTB in New York).

I agree, though, that on the face of it, asking waivers, then outrighting, before releasing Castillo, looks odd.
