Well that's about a month ago and also about the same time he took his leave of absence from the team for "personal reasons." It's either one of two things, either he really did take a leave of absence for personal reasons and FOXSports.com is wrong OR he really was suspended and the whole thing about leaving the team for personal reasons was just BS that the FO came up with to save face.

 

Who knows....

I saw his suspension on Yahoo also. Maybe it was lost in the headlines of the other suspensions like Guillen, Bradley and Francisco, because this was the least known about suspension I've ever heard of. :confused

I'm sure it's just a formality. They probably had to put him on some sort of status to free up a roster spot. Instead of putting him on the DL, where he'd have to be off the roster for a specific amount of time, they put him on suspended status.

 

I'm not too concerned over it.

It was september, the rosters were expanded, we had plenty of roster spots left.

they have the bereavement list

Well, he was released today.

I thought he was sent to the minors and he declined so he became a free agent

 

maybe I read it wrong... either way, he is gone

On ESPNews they said Koch was outright released, Castro declined the assignment to the minors and became a free agent.
