Phillies Release Yoervis Medina

By Connor Byrne | July 9, 2016 at 10:40pm CDT

The Phillies have released right-handed reliever Yoervis Medina, reports Matt Eddy of Baseball America (Twitter link). Philadelphia originally acquired Medina from the Pirates in exchange for left-hander Jesse Biddle over the winter.

Medina, who hurt his elbow in March, hasn’t appeared in the majors this season. The hard-throwing 27-year-old’s only action has come in rookie ball for Philly, where he tossed four innings. He previously threw a combined 21 major league frames as a member of the Mariners and Cubs last season,  logging a 4.71 ERA, 6.86 K/9 and 4.71 BB/9. Medina is perhaps best known for the strong results he delivered with the Mariners from 2013-14. During that two-year stretch, he racked up 125 innings and recorded a 2.81 ERA, 9.4 K/9, 4.9 BB/9 and 53.5 percent ground-ball rate.

    Didn’t know you two GM’s knew how to run a franchise.

    Biddle was designated for assignment on Jan 29th by the Phillies. They worked out a trade 5 days later with the Pirates to acquire Medina. Both players have now been released by their respective clubs. This happens a lot, new prospects show better value to the clubs so they rotate older prospects out. Only so many spots and sometimes you have to cut your losses.

    Biddle is a member of the braves organization and is about to have Tommy John surgery.

      Still biddle has potential to play for the braves, he’s only 24 (25 in October) so he’ll be 25/26ish when he gets back, he still has the stuff to pitch in the major leagues it’s all on how this TJ surgery effects him and his development
