Pirates Claim Guido Knudson From Tigers

By Steve Adams | November 9, 2015 at 3:11pm CDT

The Tigers announced today that right-hander Guido Knudson has been claimed off waivers by the Pirates (Twitter link).

The 26-year-old Knudson, a 28th-round pick of the Tigers back in 2011, made his big league debut with the Tigers this past season but endured significant struggles in his first taste of the Majors. Knudson yielded 10 runs on 13 hits, including a staggering five homers, in five innings of work. However, he averaged a healthy 93.4 mph on his fastball in the process and comes with a nice track record at the Triple-A level, where he logged a 2.34 ERA with 44 strikeouts against 21 walks in 42 1/3 innings this season.

The Pirates have plenty of spots open on their 40-man roster — six, even after this waiver claim — so there was no 40-man move necessary to compensate for Knudson’s addition.

    Damn, this was on I was worrying about. I wish the Tigers could have kept Guido, he’s not bad, just had some struggles. Good pick up for the Pirates though. Low risk, high reward tbh

      The name alone warrants them keeping him

    Good pick up for the Pirates, one of many low risk options that the pitching staff can work with to revamp the bullpen in a cheap manner.

    no loss, not a lot on their current roster to improve the bullpen, or they would have already tried it. Guido didn’t get a longer look, because they had no confidence in him.

    That’s a 65 or 70 grade name.

    Gave up 2 home runs. Sounds kind of normal with nerves for the first time in the show. If can translate AAA stuff to the show, who knows for the Bucs. As others are saying , low risk and could be a high reward. If not, not much wasted.
