The Phillies announced their 40-man roster moves Monday, and some were … wow …
- Seranthony Dominguez (SP)
- Franklyn Kilome (SP)
- Ranger Suarez (SP)
- Jose Taveras (SP)
Relatively obvious choices. No Carlos Tocci, however, so maybe the Phils are betting that a team won’t want to stash him as a fifth outfielder. Same for Andrew Pullin.
That means two spots had to open up. And boy did they. DFA’d and waived are:
- Mark Appel (SP)
- Alberto Tirado (SP)
Tirado was more likely, as the once heralded prospect continued to show poor command.
