MLB Trade Rumors

Last week, MLBTR took an early look at offseason option decisions facing teams in the National League. We’re continuing our division-by-division series moving through the Junior Circuit. To round out the series, we move to the AL West. There are only five players in the division whose contracts contain options but they’re spread among every team aside from the Mariners.

AL West players with upcoming club option decisions

The Astros are expected to promote infielder Grae Kessinger, reports Mark Berman of Fox 26, with catcher César Salazar optioned in a corresponding move. Kessinger isn’t on the 40-man roster and will require a corresponding move to get a spot there though that could easily be accomplished by transferring someone like Luis Garcia, who is out for the year due to Tommy John surgery, to the 60-day injured list.

People lose small items or leave them behind all the time. That's why most stores, restaurants, hotels, airports, and other places have a lost and found department. Therefore, owners can claim their lost items. If they can't retrieve their small lost items, they can easily replace them by purchasing new ones. Most of the time, it doesn't cost much to replace an umbrella, scarf, or a cheap bracelet.
