Warehouse Wire 2041.05: Winson Era Over

Post by bcslouck » Sat Feb 15, 2020 3:56 pm

The Jimmie have announced that Carlton Winson has been designated for assignment.

After a resurgence in 2040, Winson started off slow along with the team and lost his spot in the starting lineup. With the team sitting at 60-60 and looking for answers, it appears management has decided to move on with younger talent to hopefully breathe some life into a talented team that has under performed.

"This was not an easy decision," said GM Brandon Slouck via conference call.

"He's a franchise icon. Best player to suit up for this franchise. Uhh, you know. It's tough. But we are trying to maximize the talent on this roster to make a playoff push and quite frankly, we probably should of made this move sooner. We didn't want to but it was the right thing to do. The organization wish him well in future endeavors."

Winson could not be reached for comment.

Top prospect Ron Shiplack was called up in his place as a part of a flurry of moves. The kid has been hot at AA with a .985 OPS in August. He is expected to start against LHP to help a team who's struggled against southpaws. Pat Madison has been sent to AAA.

Pedro Ruíz has also been called up to take over 1B duties against RHP, with José Toledo taking over 3B duties. Ruíz has crushed RHP to a .988 OPS through 256 AAA AB's. Wllibald Akbulut has also been sent back to AAA.

Young-sik Won has been called up to help with LHP duties as well.

While that's a flurry of moves for the Jimmies, the biggest move is clearly the Winson DFA. The slugger hasn't been the same since signing his big contract, but put up solid numbers at times while also having stretches of playing near his peak levels. The last year of his deal will be his worst. But hopefully not his last.
