Lol! I didn't even realize he was released.

I just saw it elsewhere & came here directly after, to see if it were true?

Very sad

It’s actually really great evidence of how big brained Iglesias is.  Just shitty enough to get himself dropped.  Good enough to get himself picked up for a play off run.  Respect.

He's not eligible to play in the playoffs, though.  So not sure how satisfying it'll really be.

He just now batted in an RBI for the Red Sox.

He’s big brained

Red Sox have a significant number of their players on Covid list. They are getting desperate for warm bodies, as they are only3 games up for the 2nd wild card spot.

I was sorry to see Jose Iglesias dropped by the Angels.  I guess I understand some reasoning for it, but I think it was a mistake anyway.  Maybe they didn't plan to resign him beyond this year, so this was inevitable anyway.  But I liked him on the team, both on the field and in the dugout as he greeted Ohtani after a HR.  He's a magician in the infield, but I know he also made more errors this year than he has in the past.

i really didn't see anything that warranted being called a "magician" in the infield.

The errors went down after the first two months.

His SS range was an issue though.

Which is direct correlation to the over-shifting done on every single hitter..... 

 

It's all relative.

Wow, you must not have seen many games.  I don't watch entire games very often, and I still saw a number of stellar plays he made. That included one where he stopped a ball going into right field, falling to the ground with the ball in his glove and, without looking, tossed the ball out of his glove backward to the guy covering second on the play to force out the runner.  I saw him make a number of plays that were like that in terms of excellence and degree of difficulty. 

Every single SS makes a handful of amazing plays over the course of 150+ games played.

Please back that up with highlights from every SS in baseball. You have until noon tomorrow.

Sounds as if you like watching ESPN highlight shows. Yes, he's made some fancy plays but he's also made a lot of errors and was a weak link in the defense

@Stradling that was nice, but I said every SS.

When you're done, make me a sandwich.

Imagine how excited they will be when he home runs an HR for them.
