If the Washington Nationals trade Josh Bell, Meneses could get the call up from the Class AAA Rochester Red Wings.
If it’s not quite around the world, it’s certainly around. Some of the stops have been brief. Some have lasted years or many winters . And some have been downright weird.
“Bro, have you been to Salem?” the first baseman asked in late June, sitting in the dugout at Frontier Field in Rochester. “I was there a while back; we were the road team. One of my teammates starts telling me about witches and this scary movie. I’m just like, ‘Nah man, no thanks.’ ”Meneses’s teammate would have been referring to Salem, Mass. Turns out they were in Salem, Va., a little town near Roanoke.
“I’m a person, I’m a human, and sometimes this has been really tough,” Meneses said. “I mean, I am far from my family and trying to make my dream come true. How can I say this? Sometimes I will think: ‘What am I doing here? I’m losing time.’ Or like, ‘Why did I choose this?’ But in a day or two, I’ll come back and keep working to get there.”Playing in the Braves’ system, Meneses got stuck behind Freddie Freeman. With the Philadelphia Phillies, it was Rhys Hoskins blocking his path.
He made the national team for the Olympics in Japan. He had already been there, of course, for 118 plate appearances for the Orix Buffaloes. His rationale was that 118 chances were a lot more than zero. “Once in a while, a funny thing happens in Triple-A,” said Matthew LeCroy, the Red Wings’ manager. “Everyone here has the same goal, right? They want to leave and be in the show. But with a guy like Joey, everyone is also rooting forto make it. The guys know what he has put in and want him to be rewarded. It takes a special person for your teammates to really, genuinely want that for you.
