Good riddance, Maples. My son was born when he was drafted in 2011. My boy is now in fourth grade and Maples still hasn’t figured out where his stuff is going. Should’ve dfa’d him years ago.

Guessing you didn’t name your son Dillon…
Sheep8
No, he named him Maples

Sometimes I want to put my son on outright waivers too.
PeteWard8
Thank goodness. He must have been a great guy
to have lasted so long.
Curly Was The Smart Stooge
Do those waivers taste like Maple?
Ghost of past pirates
Shemp was the best stooge

He’s Baaaaack

I don’t get this. He’s actually been good this year, ERA under 2.6 (Admittedly seems to o be due for some regression with a FIP of about 4.6) but I bet someone will claim him off waivers. Maybe the Rays

Have you watched Maples pitch?? Every freaking appearance is a high wire act. He’s got no control. His walk rate is abysmal. He’s had many chances to harness his stuff to no avail, and he was useless in high level situations. It’s about damn time they moved on.
johnk
Yes he’s baaaack!

I’m not sure I’ve seen a guy with better stuff who has constantly been as up and down as this guy. He’s unhittable one day and throwing BP the next. Unreal. It’s been time to move on for awhile now.

Carlos marmol had the nastiest slider, and he had 2 excellent years. That was it though. Maples will have one here at some point. Just not sure what team it will be for

Who cares. There the cubs

Or if unsure- They are. Hide that ignorance a little bit longer. Too late now though!

Kinda BS move too, agree with the ERA showing hes getting the job done in the end.
Hopefully now that he’s been fired he can stop worrying so much with his next club and just full embrace Mitch Williams style relief pitching. Was hoping he could have come out of the bullpen one of these days to “Wild Thing” but he wasn’t comfortable in his own skin.
Will never forget that AB buckling Lorenzo Cain!
TomL
There is absolutely no reason to have retained Rex Brothers, or even Martini. Maples should have gotten his chance and been trotted out night after night and yes THEN DFA him if and when his numbers catch up to the reasons. Even a Davies DFA makes more sense at this point in time of the season.

10 years in the system isn’t enough chances?
Tom Emansk1
I for one was looking forward to year 13 of pretending Dillon Maples was the future lol
Fred K. Burke
I think we can all agree that some team will give him a shot. Some team will see if they can fix his control issues.

Minor league contract in a few months.
