Braves Claim Jesse Biddle From Pirates

By charliewilmoth | March 19, 2016 at 3:51pm CDT

The Braves have claimed lefty Jesse Biddle, MLB.com’s Adam Berry tweets. The Pirates had designated Biddle for assignment last week. It was originally reported that the Pirates had released Biddle with the intention of re-signing him to a minor-league deal, but perhaps they had simply placed him on release waivers, which would have allowed the Braves to claim him.

Biddle will miss the 2016 season after having Tommy John surgery. The Pirates acquired him from Philadelphia earlier this offseason. He struggled the last two seasons in the high minors, but was once one of the Phillies’ top prospects. MLB.com ranked him the No. 53 prospect in baseball after the 2013 season, when he posted a 3.64 ERA with 10.0 K/9 and 5.3 BB/9 in 138 1/3 innings as a 21-year-old at Double-A Reading.

    Dang, was hoping my Sox would snag him, if Biddle makes a full recovery he still has mid rotation potential.

      Can you please stop commenting “man I wish my Redsox did this…” Into every single post. I’m a Sox fan and you are making us look bad

        Sorry bro, just sharing my opinion. Biddle would have been nice possible cheap pitching depth for us down the road if we could have claimed him. Well worth a MiLB deal IMO. Sorry that you don’t feel the same way, not sure why you wouldn’t want a former top prospect like that.

          Possible Red Sox all-star in 2016?

          Future inner circle Hall of Famer, if fortunate enough to be allowed to wear the correct color soxs (um, socks)

          They wouldn’t have got him on a minor league deal. Now he’s on Atlanta’s 40 man roster.

          Biddle would never be a mid rotation guy

      Apparently, Boston has five Triple-A affiliates, to house all these potential options.

        Glad “My Braves” took a chance and made the claim.

          If I would have won that Powerball from a few months ago when it was a billion and a half dollars……they would have been my Braves and I would have fired Schulholtz and Fredi Gonzalez right away.

          If you would have won that powerball you’d have to give me my billion dollars. They wouldn’t give it to me even though I had basically the same numbers, give or take a little bit.

    I had to look up Jesse Biddle to make sure he wasn’t Rocky Biddle.
