Dodgers Claim Daniel Corcino, Designate Ryan Dennick

By Steve Adams | April 17, 2015 at 2:08pm CDT

The Dodgers announced today that they have claimed right-hander Daniel Corcino off waivers from the Reds and designated lefty Ryan Dennick for assignment. Strangely, the Dodgers had just claimed Dennick off waivers from the Reds two days ago.

The 24-year-old Corcino formerly ranked as one of Cincinnati’s top 10 prospects, according to Baseball America, but his career hasn’t taken off the way that the Reds had hoped. Though Corcino made his Major League debut last season, posting a 4.34 ERA with a 15-to-10 K/BB ratio in 18 2/3 innings, he never built on the strong 2011-12 Minor League numbers he compiled.

Corcino entered the 2013 season ranked as the No. 94 prospect on BA’s Top 100 list, but he posted a surprising 5.86 ERA that year with 6.3 K/9 and 5.1 BB/9 in his first taste of Triple-A. His numbers in 2014 were better, but not markedly so, and his control remained a bit troubling. BA’s scouting reports as Corcino rose through the system noted that he had some effort to his delivery and struggled to command his secondary offerings. Corcino will head to Double-A with the Dodgers, who will hope that they can work with him to refine his control and make the most of a still-youthful reclamation project.

    Err, is this just a way to keep the Reds from stashing one (or both) back in the minors? That seems like an anti-competitive move by the Dodgers.

    Its interesting that the Dodgers are finding value in these players when no one who finished below them in the standings did. It will be fascinating to see if they knew something the other teams didn’t.

    Do the Dodgers pay a guy to just sit there and keep his finger on the waiver wire button?

      Shouldn’t every team?

        Sure seems like it.

    The Reds seemed to have flubbed this one up as much as anything. They DFA’d both pitchers in order to bring up non-40 man guys Josh Smith and Kyle Skipworth. Then they sent down both players without ever using them in a game. I think the real culprit is the 10 day rule following the start of the season. That rule really needs to be changed, but kudos to the Dodgers for exploiting the loophole.

    What was the point of claiming Dennick?

      Now they can try to get him through waivers and keep him in the minors as depth. It’s worked before. The Blue Jays used to do it all the time.

        Now there is the right explanation.

        I guess they are betting on the possibility no other team attempts it and they get 2 extra relievers free.

      ALiberatore was going to Dodgers; they need to fill a spot in AAA; suddenly Corcino is available; Corcino is better; Dennick becomes expendable.

        Not suddenly, simultaneously.
