Here are the latest minor moves from around baseball:
- The Angels have acquired right-handed pitcher Troy Scribner from the Astros in exchange for cash considerations, tweets Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle. Scribner, 24, spent the entire 2015 season at High-A ball. He posted a 5.49 ERA with 9.99 K/9 and 5.13 BB/9. His best campaign came in 2014 when he showed substantially better command and topped out at Double-A.
- The Phillies have released outfielder Andrew Amaro, tweets Matt Eddy of Baseball America. The Amaro surname is no coincidence. Amaro, a 35th round pick in the 2015 draft, is the nephew of former Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. This marks the second minor leaguer of a famous parent who was released today. Trevor Gretzky, son of hockey hero Wayne Gretzky, was cut loose by the Angels earlier today. Incidentally, Gretzky was once traded for Matthew Scioscia, son of Angels manager Mike Scioscia.
The Phillies are done with everyone named Amaro. lol
They probably have been planning this since they got rid of his pops! lol
Amaro is Rubens nephew not his son!
Andrew Amaro is Ruben’s nephew not his son.
Sure Arte, he plugs right in to your awful rotation.
drafted not even a full year ago and let go? i mean i get amaro was bad but could have given the kid ashot
I wonder if the Red Sox will sign Amaro, as they did with his Uncle Ruben.
More importantly, I wonder if other Sox fans wonder the same thing….
Hey genius. Get it right. It is his nephew not his son. If you are gonna try to put someone down at least get your facts straight.
