[Squire]

Knapp was optioned back to AAA

I like when we just make stuff up on this board and then convince ourselves its true.

haha yes. there is no "favor." The O's either can't get what they want or (very likely) their ownership and front office is still a wreck.

Sorry for the bad info above. I went to the transactions on the official site and to the roster on the official site and there was nothing on the Knapp option and adding Bautista at that time.

Bautista did get in the game, pinch hit, struck out weakly. I didn't realize he was hitting below .200 for the season. I doubt we see much value from him and he will be gone before we know it.
