Was there some type of scandal disclosed? Pretty early in the season to pull a move like this without something unexpected occurring.

Hell, it's 21 games less than Ricky got before being fired after his extension.

He was named in the Vizquel lawsuit and was the only person that was still with the org.

Helms, a 1994 graduate of Ashbrook High School in Gastonia, NC, was inducted into the Gaston County Sports Hall of Fame in 2016. Drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 10th round of the 1994 MLB June Amateur Draft, Helms made his major league debut on September 5, 1998. Over the course of his career, he spent parts of 13 seasons in the majors with the Braves (1998, 2000-02), Milwaukee Brewers (2003-05), Florida Marlins (2006, 2008-11), and Philadelphia Phillies (2007). He compiled a career batting average of .256 with 694 hits, 75 home runs, and 374 RBIs over 1,212 big league games.

Well hopefully this means the Sox will start holding all employees to a higher standard of conduct. 

Sox fans, it's 2:23....do you know where your backup catcher is??

Wonder if they will put out a release before tonight's Charlotte game.

Nothing currently on the website: https://www.milb.com/charlotte-knights

Nice to see their stadium is a Safe Space Partner for Youth:

Stayed away during the Owner Lockout and Spring Training.

Was Pee-Wee's Playhouse discussed here?

Oh, it was a glorious thread when they acquired him.  I laughed out loud many times.  Look for it.  I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The thread is currently on page 9.
