Probably cannot be. From reading the restricted list rules, I think he would have to be reinstated from the restricted list first but you cannot do that between now and the end of October. He does not count against the Yankee's 40 man roster while on the restricted list, though.

Hilariously, if for some reason the playoffs were delayed/extended so that the WS rosters weren't set before October 28th, I guess they could resinstate him and let him play in the post season because his suspension was for 162 games. That would probably be a bad idea for any number of non-baseball reasons not to mention actual baseball reasons.

They changed the rules so that players who serve a PED suspension during the regular season are ineligible for the postseason, I think

This happened because Red Sox players cried about Jhonny Peralta driving in a run against them in Game 1 of the ALCS

I feel like I've read a ton of stuff saying they lost that trade though? Like there are definitely crazy folks on twitter overrating what they got back (especially that shortstop) to give Friedman the benefit of the doubt, but it's not "most" and I don't know if I've seen anyone going so far as to say they outright won the trade

Dave Cameron legitimately claimed that Smyly and Franklin are "more valuable" than David Price because of $/WAR or some stupid poo poo

I, for one, am ready to write off Trevor May's MLB career after one bad start

Anyone else worry about what Stanton is going to be in his thirties? Hes really tall for a baseball player and I wonder if hes not going to be able to compensate his bat speed loss as he ages.

He already strikes out a lot so I could see him ending up more like Adam Dunn rather than a perennial MVP candidate

Yeah, I like how saying an occasionally plus regular and then generally average-to-usable but flawed player is all of a sudden just trashing a prospect who has a lot in common with him.

Mark Reynolds knows how to draw a walk, though. Baez needs to mash like crazy in order to have value
