Angels Claim Cody Ege

By Jeff Todd | August 12, 2016 at 4:55pm CDT

The Angels have claimed southpaw Cody Ege off waivers from the Marlins, per an announcement from Los Angeles. Right-hander Nick Tropeano was moved to the 60-day DL to create a 40-man opening.

Ege, 25, will head to Triple-A Salt Lake City to begin his tenure in the Los Angeles organization. He has spent most of the year at that level with Miami, compiling a 4.50 ERA over 44 frames with 7.2 K/9 and 5.5 BB/9.

That obviously isn’t a terribly promising pitching line, though Ege did earn a brief MLB promotion. He was also much better in the upper minors last year — good enough, in fact, to be a part of an under-the-radar deadline trade that has turned out to be more important than it initially seemed.

Ege was dealt along with Tomas Telis in the deal that sent Sam Dyson to the Rangers. That swap has certainly had an impact on both organizations, as Texas has utilized Dyson as its closer while the Fish have been forced to hunt for extra arms at the back of their pen.

    More dumpster diving by the halos. Can’t wait for him to give up 6 ER in 1.2 innings of work.

      That’s what happens when you have up to a full rotation and your setup man and closer on the DL significant time. All that has led to possibly a 90 loss season and now one of their healthy starters and setup man have been traded. This should be expected with a pitching staff in such disarray.

    Add to it… The kakabrainiacs making the decisions behind the moronic trades that they have made this season and past seasons … Which have reduced the farm to ashes and have pretty much marked the demise of this franchise … I don’t see us getting out of this huge hole anytime soon…
