Sunday’s minor moves:
- Pirates catcher John Bormann is going from Single-A to the majors. The Pirates have selected Bormann’s contract and optioned outfielder Danny Ortiz to Triple-A, per a team announcement. Bormann, whom the Bucs chose in Round 24 of the 2015 draft, has hit just .232/.282/.310 in 328 low-minors plate appearances since joining the Pittsburgh organization. His promotion might be an indicator of health troubles with starting catcher Francisco Cervelli, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette suggests (on Twitter). It’s unclear what could be wrong with Cervelli – although he’s off Sunday, he caught the Pirates’ previous five games and has appeared in 22 of 23 contests this season. Cervelli previously missed a large chunk of 2016 with a broken hamate bone in his left hand.
I mean wow.
I wish I could get drafted in the 24th round from my college, extremely underperform in the minors then make 500k based on circumstance only two years after getting drafted.
He’ll probably only be up for a day or two and make the pro-rated portion of that. So like 1-2% of 500k…
That’s still like 10k in one or two days.
Here’s another perk: twitter.com/timwilliamsP2/status/85873955806166220…
And, if he get’s optioned (which is unlikely) he will still make 86k throughout the year. on the pro rated salary of a guy on the 4o man roster.
This dude is living my dream as a baseball player, great healthcare, a good chunk of change, the big league experience what else is there to ask?
At least this is a better assessment than the one you had on Peppers. Now C’mon and tell everyone how much of Bist he’s gonna be!
Get your trash grammar out of the MLB rumors.
C’mon Mr MLB/NFL evaluator. Enlighten us with your All knowing, false knowledge
I suggest you look up Justin Gilbert and then see why Peppers won’t do well with the Browns.
watching the game on TV and just seen this guy…Joe block said that he was brought up because he was geographically closer to miami….im guessing he was on Bradenton roster….
They must plan to option him back off of the roster.
Just revised my post asking why Boorman insted of Elias Diaz or even Jacob Stallings upon reading about Joe Block’s comments above. Thank you, HarveyD82.
Not to mention Bucs gave McGuire away in that awful Liriano salary dump…
