Bobby Dalbec – Outrighted to minors (Boston Red Sox)
Avery Weems – Assigned to Round Rock Express (AAA) (Texas Rangers)
The Red Sox DFA Bobby Dalbec.. The Bobby Dalbec era is over.
Very strange, unexpected swirl of emotions… Bobby D proved to be a solid dude, through it all. I very much wanted him to break through, as I think many Sox fans did.
I hope he hits 40 HR for the Padres next year.… https://t.co/izm6LFiF7X pic.twitter.com/xN2MYCaPk9
