ESPN quoted a source on the 22nd (Korea time) saying that the Washington club notified Abrams of going to the minor leagues.

Abrams was moved to Triple-A Rochester Red Wings under Washington.

“I just hope it’s known that it wasn’t because of performance,” Washington coach Dave Martinez said. “It’s an internal matter. I won’t reveal the details.”

The manager declined to comment, but the club’s sending to the minor leagues as the main shortstop is known to be a disciplinary measure due to gambling problems.

At 1 p.m. on Sunday local time, Washington had a daytime game that began at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, and Abrams stayed at the casino until 8 a.m. on the day. Abrams, who started the game after staying at the casino all night, was sluggish with no hits in three times at bat.

If Abrams thinks the team’s disciplinary action is unfair, he can raise an objection through the Major League players’ union. “If Abrams misses the last week of the season, he will lose about 30,000 dollars out of his 752,000-dollar annual salary,” ESPN reported.메이저놀이터

Abrams, who made his big league debut in 2022 in a San Diego uniform, transferred to Washington through a trade that year.

Growing up as a key shortstop, he created a sensation by batting .268 with 15 homers and 15 steals in 89 games in the first half of this year. He was also named an All Star for the first time in his career.

However, he fell into a slump with a batting average of 0.203 in the second half and failed to erase his defensive weaknesses throughout the season.

The club did not let go of expectations for him, but immediately notified him of his move to the minor leagues due to the controversy.
