The Cubs have claimed lefty Edgar Olmos from the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com tweets. Baltimore exposed Olmos to waivers to clear roster space for the signing of Hyun Soo Kim, and Chicago grabbed him back after originally losing him just weeks ago to the O’s by the same procedure.
Olmos is a 25-year-old southpaw who’s changed hands quite a bit in the last few seasons. He obviously has an intriguing arm, and has shown a mid-90s fastball in his brief time in the majors. At Triple-A in 2015, Olmos worked to a 3.55 ERA with 9.3 K/9 against 3.5 BB/9 at Triple-A last year.
Somebody has to have been DFA’d. Or something.
The Cubs were at 40 on the 40.
good get for the cubs. loved him in blade runner
Do you post this same quote for every article about this guy???
yes. thanks for noticing
You mean Edward James Olmos close enough I guess.
it’s too bad he won’t close. but then again who does
curious to see who comes off the 40 man
Sounds like Brendan Ryan is out, and Yoervis Medina is in Pittsburgh.
SO9/2.6 BB9/5.1 Don’t see anything in this guy but the club must see him differently.
He’s out of options and joins a team with a glut of relief options including Warren, Machi, Gomes, Strop and Rondon. He’ll be back on the wire in no time.
