Alburquerque used to have about the best slider going cpl years back with the Tigers, He could have thrown that pitch every time, batter knowing it was coming and been good, IF able to throw for strikes.
Somebody with a really good coaching staff needs him on a minors deal that only works on mechanics.. His delivery was violent as remember. Maybe give him a decent amount as incentive.. Even 2y to make sure the signing team would get something out of the possible fix.
Remember how filthy he was when could throw that thing, just not hittable.

I don’t quite understand this move… Albuquerque has shown solid ML numbers in his career…

Probably out of options, so this is his last year in the minors. For all the Angels’ issues, bullpen depth isn’t really one of them. Seems like he was destined never to play for their major league team.

Guerra is a great story, over 10 years in the minors before getting his shot with Bucs last year. He pitched really well his first few times out, then got shelled in a couple outings. Bucs lost him on waiver claim trying to sneak him off 40 man roster.

Blue Jays should snag him

He would be a good fit for the Red Sox
