Heads22 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Saw he was placed on DL.....whats the benefit to placing him on the DL in September? Service time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Mark Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Just some guessing.... -Maybe they had some insurance money they could recoup from it, although I feel like you usually only hear about that with 60 day DLs and large contract players. -Perhaps they wanted to make it official to be able to have that as an argument to get a slightly better price when arbitration starts up. -Perhaps MLB wants people to make it official so its documented even better if a team knows a player is injured. Just avoiding a Padres situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I mentioned it in the September Call up thread- it is an insurance thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
