Let's keep track of the day's outright assignments right here…
- The Blue Jays have outrighted Tyson Brummett to Triple-A according to the MLB.com transactions page. Toronto claimed the 28-year-old right-hander off waivers from the Phillies last week only to designate him for assignment a few days later. Brummett pitched to a 3.20 ERA with 8.3 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 in 90 innings at various levels of Philadelphia's farm system this year.
That sounds like a steal. Why would the Phillies let this guy go for free?
Need to make room for guys that would’ve gotten grabbed in the Rule 5 draft.
If David Herndon replaced the #40 guy on the Jays’ roster, kind of makes you wonder how long he will be kept. I assume the Blue Jays have other deals in mind and Herndon is out till July recovering from arm surgery which kept him largely out of action in ’12. Don'[t get these moves by the Jays even a little bit. . Is gin rummy that card game where you can claim the seven of diamonds and discard the five of hearts for greater value?
