The Dodgers have designated southpaw Daniel Corcino, the club announced. His roster spot will go to the just-acquired Xavier Cedeno.
This move caps an eyebrow-raising series of moves out of Los Angeles. The club has claimed and designated both Corcino and his former Reds teammate Ryan Dennick in short order. It could be that the club is looking for an opportunity to add some depth to the upper minors by trying to outright the arms it has claimed.
Corcino, 24, will of course first have a chance to be acquired by another organization. He saw his first MLB action last year, working to a 4.34 ERA in just 18 2/3 innings. In 134 career frames at the minor league level, Corcino owns a 5.91 ERA with 6.4 K/9 against 5.2 BB/9.
marlins get this guy
Put me in Coach!
Mad Hungarian!!!
Maybe the Reds will claim him.
Phillies should scoop him and give him a start or two until Billinglsey is good to go
When is that supposed to be? Billingsley hasn’t pitched in years.
They want him to make 5 rehab starts before joining the club. He’s made 2 already so they’re shooting for early-mid may last I heard
Thanks! I hope he can make it back; he was a fun pitcher to watch when he was healthy.
Corcino == southpaw
Yep, he’s very much a RHP
This seems like a hole in the transaction system. I’m sure the Red would have liked to keep them in their minors as well, but the Dodgers basically “steal” two players by keeping them on the 40 man for just a few days. Seems like a loophole in the system.
