11/21/24	Some team could get a steal in recently-discarded Red Sox if the hype is real. On Nov. 19, the Boston Red Sox added pitching prospect Hunter Dobbins and outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia to the 40-man roster to protect them from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. Boston's 40-man roster was full when the two prospects were protected, and two players had to be removed to accommodate them. Former top pitching prospect Bryan Mata was one of the casualties. Mata signed with the Red Sox out of Venezuela in 2016 and posted three quality seasons in the lower levels of their minor league system. Source: https://bosoxinjection.com/some-team-could-get-a-s...

Because Mata is out of minor league options and can't be sent to Triple-A without being exposed to waivers, the Sox must decide on his fate at the end of his rehab assignment, which maxes out at 30 days on July 15.

5/18/24	For Red Sox, clock ticking as decision on former top pitching prospect looms. The clock is ticking for the Red Sox to make a decision — once and for all — on someone who was once considered the top pitching prospect in the entire organization. 25-year-old right-hander Bryan Mata was transferred to High-A Greenville on Saturday to continue his rehab assignment, which started Monday with a two-inning outing in the Florida Complex League in Fort Myers. Mata, who is out of minor league options and currently on the 60-day injured list with a left hamstring strain he suffered in spring training, has just 30 days to show the Red Sox what they can do before a decision will be due. June 11 marks the 30th day of Mata's rehab assignment, so by June 12 (unless Mata gets hurt again), the Red Sox will have to either activate Mata to the active roster or place him on waivers, likely by designating him for assignment.

Because Mata is out of minor league options, he'll either have to earn a roster spot by the end of a 30-day rehab assignment or be removed from the 40-man roster. Lefthander Brandon Walter, who suffered a rotator cuff strain in spring training, has yet to start throwing and is working on building strength in the muscles around his shoulder.

Justin Slaten, who the Sox acquired from the Mets during the offseason, is in the same predicament, making it a two-man battle between the pair of righthanders for a roster spot. The uphill battle for both just became tougher for Mata, who was once a promising young prospect in the Red Sox' system. Source: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/02/25/sports/brya...
