The Cardinals have claimed lefty Jayson Aquino off waivers, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports on Twitter. Aquino was designated by the Indians when they claimed outfielder Joey Butler.
Aquino has bounced around on the waiver wire quite a bit. Still just 23, he’s obviously intriguing to teams. But Aquino is difficult to keep on a 40-man roster since he’s yet to establish himself in the upper minors.
Aquino is probably ready for a more challenging assignment this year, however. While bouncing between the Blue Jays, Pirates, and Indians, he worked to a 3.28 ERA, with 5.6 K/0 against 2.0 BB/9, over 137 1/3 innings at the High-A level last season.
But can they afford Heyward after moves like this…?
It’s a waiver claim…it probably cost them next to nothing
I think it was a joke.
Great Great move
I was afraid they weren’t going to do anything to replace Lynn.
I hope this deal came from the assistant GM. If Mo is spending his time on things like this the Cardinals have an issue. If they want to be patient and wait for the Hewyard talks to heat up they will just lose out on a lot of great FA. Better sign someone soon before you lose out on some good chances.
Time to sign Chris Davis. If anyone doubts his value tons team just read the oriole blogs with people begging him to stay in Baltimore. Sign Davis and then you can trade Matt Adams.
Sorry, I should never comment from my iPhone. Spelling corrections are terrible.
Ha! It is a joke! This is awful. Obviously, LaRussa had plenty of clout with the Cardinals owners. Great deals left when he and Lodlov left!!! Look what they’re doing with Arizona and Houston!!! While the Cardinals sit stagnant !!!
