The Indians have announced that they’ve claimed lefty Tyler Olson from the Royals and optioned him to Triple-A Columbus. The Royals designated Olson for assignment last week.
Olson has had a busy few months moving from organization to organization — the Dodgers and then Yankees acquired him in minor deals over the offseason, and the Royals claimed him last month. The 26-year-old appeared briefly for the Mariners last year and with the Yankees this year, mainly throwing in the upper 80s in his big-league stints. He’s pitched for two Triple-A teams this season, posting a 4.81 ERA, 6.1 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 over 33 2/3 innings mostly spent in relief.
Never heard of this guy but he must be terrible if the Yankees and their awful pitching DFA’d him
He also got dfa’d by Seattle last year
Indians replace Gorzelanny with a younger Gorzelanny. We’re on LHP reliever 5 with T.J. House in pen now. Offseason signings Gorzelanny/Detwiler/Thatcher failed. Indians should think about a move within division. Kintzler/Abad would be solid bullpen arms to aquire with control through next season.
This guy isn’t good enough for the AAA pen.
He also DIDNT get dfa’d by seattle last year but at least you tried to be knowledgeable.
