Pirates Release Ross Ohlendorf

By Luke Adams 2 | December 7, 2011 at 11:16pm CDT

The Pirates have released Ross Ohlendorf, tweets MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch. The 29-year-old had been a Pirate since the Yankees traded him to Pittsburgh in 2008's Xavier Nady/Jose Tabata deal. As Langosch writes, releasing Ohlendorf today will give the Pirates roster space to make a selection in tomorrow's Rule 5 draft.

Ohlendorf was coming off a dismal 2011 campaign in which he posted an 8.15 ERA in nine starts for the Pirates. He was arbitration eligible, and MLBTR's projected a salary of about $2.1MM if the Pirates retained him.

    Not a bad pitcher wouldn’t be surprised if multiple teams are interested in signing him cheap.

    This is rather surprising. Kind of disappointed that he didn’t work out, though I’d it if they’d be able to bring him back for less money.

    Most notable for going 1-11 and getting a 500% raise in arbitration.

      With an era of 4.00. The Pirates offense was hideous in 2010.

    Would be nice if they can bring him back on a split minor league contract or something of that nature. Last season was just a complete waste, he was injured for a while and just never got into a groove. I know he’s not that bad.

    saw him pitch this summer against the cards. his stuff was just not there.  it was like watching matt morris. i agree a bullpen move would be best because honestly he won’t have a career if he stay in the rotation

    ivy leaguer down the tubes.. Is there another right now wonder who will be on a MLB roster come opening day? Ryan Lavarnway probably will be for the Red Sox, but hopefully there will be more.

    Used to be a time when the ivy league was fairly well represented, though that time has passed.

      I swear there’s another one either with the Sox or who used to be with the Sox. Research time.

      My first guess was right: Craig Breslow was a biochemistry major at Yale.
