Could the Rays signing of Coleman be a indication that they will be moving some pitching after the All Star break?
Jorge Soler Powered
No.

I do think they’ll move a pitcher or two, but I don’t think this move is indicative of that.

Glad to see Stallings get through waivers. After all the injuries this year, never hurts to have plenty of catching options in the minors.

> The Indians designated Gorzelanny for assignment on Monday after he allowed seven runs in three innings for them.
Not quite true. I was at that 17-1 game. Gorzelanny had been, essentially, a LOOGY for Cleveland, getting one out in five of his six previous outings, not facing more than three batters per game. He had not given up a single run!
But in the previous two games, Indian relievers had pitched an astonishing 21 innings (13 innings in a 19-inning game, then eight innings in a “bullpen game”). Gorzelanny entered Sunday’s game down 5-0 with an extraordinarily taxed bullpen behind him. He faced LHB Saunders….and walked him. He then faced two RHB, the second of which hit a three-run homer, making it 8-0. So Tito left G out there to take one for the team….and cut him the next day!
Gorzelanny didn’t allow anything… he was sacrificed!

He’s lucky to have not given up a run prior to his 7-run shellacking. That, in addition to waking 5 hitters in his last 1.1 innings, certainly didn’t help his case.
