Red Sox Acquire John Cornely From Braves

By Jeff Todd | May 20, 2015 at 12:54pm CDT

The Red Sox announced today that the club has acquired right-handed pitcher John Cornely from the Braves. Atlanta will receive cash considerations in the deal.

The 26-year-old saw just one inning with the Braves, his first as a big leaguer, before being designated for assignment yesterday. He has posted 17 1/3 innings of 4.15 ERA pitching at Triple-A this season, showing promise with 11.9 K/9 against 3.6 BB/9.

This is Cornely’s first season at the highest level of the minors. He earned the promotion after posting a 2.49 ERA in 68 2/3 Double-A frames last year. The former 15th-round pick will head to Pawtucket on optional assignment for Boston.

    I don’t get why so many players get DFA’d after an inning or a game or two. It’s impossible to see how well a player can handle the majors in that short amount of time. If you bring a guy to the big leagues, at least give him a chance to prove himself. Otherwise why waste the money and effort to even bring him up in the first place?

      Agreed. Seems like his numbers in AA and his high K numbers show alot of promise and they got him for free basically.

      its not always because they dont like what they see but because they need to make a roster decision

      Ray Ray, agreed, they should have given him more of a chance. He has had a very solid minor league career.

      “Necessary roster decisions” is not a valid excuse here, they gave Juan Jaime multiple chances over the last two seasons even though it was crystal clear he was not a major league pitcher. This guy has a much better track record and a 95 MPH fastball.

      That said, he apparently has the potential of a middle reliever at the major league level, so it’s not a terrible loss.

    MLB teams strive to have the best 40-man roster each day, 365 days a year. If a new player becomes available who the team thinks is better than the last player on their roster, the team will make the waiver claim or MiLB signing of the new player and DFA the existing player. Teams often hope the DFA’d player will clear waivers and accept an outright assignment so both the existing and new players are retained in the organization. Some 2014 examples of players making contributions to the MLB team after being claimed or signing on after being DFA include Steve Pearce, Jerome Williams, Hector Nosei and Esmil Rogers.

    I think players are DFA’d and other GM’s had the person on their original draft Board but couldn’t pull the trigger OR they have gotten good reports from scouts OR have gotten good reports from Sox managers that thought they could be a good addition.

    I’m curious. Am I the only one here who never heard of Cornely? 95-miles-per-hour-fastball included? I hope he does well. But, if this is Cherington’s idea of a bull pen upgrade, that would explain his dearth of starting pitcher upgrades. And, truth be told, I still have the sense that Luchhino is behind the entire mess regarding our current pitching woes.

    I hope Cornely gets it back. I think the problem is he has never had any set backs his entire career going back to high school. He had 100 percent confidence. It is a new game for him now. I hope he does not turn out like Tiger Woods.
