Posted April 21Apr 21 I figured I'd make a Roster moves thread that all the roster moves can go into instead of each one getting its own.Added for clarification - bigger moves will still get their own thread, this is more meant as a catchall for the more minor moves. Edited April 22Apr 22 by rmc523
April 22Apr 22 These are actually less efficient to find news then than individual threads, but the megathread obsession lives strong here.

April 22Apr 22 Author Marlins Recall Agustin Ramirez For MLB Debut - MLB Trade RumorsRamirez’s promotion to the majors is official, per a team announcement. Miami officially recalled Ramirez and righty George Soriano from Triple-A Jacksonville. Lefty Cade Gibson was optioned to Triple-A to open one spot, while Brantly was placed on the 10-day IL due to a right lat strain in order to open the other.

But consolidating every bit of news into mega threads makes you continuously search through threads for updates. News should have it own thread that lives on the first page until it’s not relevant anymore, thennn it falls to the back pages. This message board needs about 20x the active posters before it can even begin to get cluttered.

If @Admin /moderators would rather have individual threads for all of that, it's fine, I just figured it's easier to have one spot for all the minor moves.

The jokes and banter make it fun. What you're asking for is a news ticker with zero additional stuff.

Obviously I can just go to marlins.com if its just news I need.Kidding about the dad jokes (kinda) , its one of this boards charms.
