The Nationals made a shocking announcement yesterday that All-Star CJ Abrams has been optioned down to Triple-A.

The decision comes after Abrams was caught gambling at a casino until 8AM the same day they had a 1PM afternoon game.

I'm a CJ Abrams guy but one day after he was out until 8 AM before a 1 PM local game, the Nats sent him down to the minors.

This is Mike Rizzo saying “not on this team.” Doesn't matter if you're an All-Star. Not something they'll tolerate.

Clearly Abrams though it would not be a huge problem but miscalculated in a massive way which landed him back down in Triple-A despite being an All-Star this season.
