Rockies Release Stephen Cardullo

By Jeff Todd | May 19, 2017 at 7:47pm CDT

The Rockies have released outfielder/first baseman Stephen Cardullo, as Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports (Twitter links). But the sides are already in discussions on a new minor-league deal to bring Cardullo back into the fold.

Because Cardullo is out for a few months with a broken wrist, the organization has apparently worked out an arrangement with his reps. It’s not entirely clear why he couldn’t simply have been shifted to the 60-day DL, but clearly it sounds like something is being worked out that will be acceptable for all sides regardless.

Cardullo, 29, made a stunning run to the majors last year with Colorado. He had never played above the Rookie ball level before signing with the organization after a four-year indy ball run. But he excelled at Triple-A and soon found himself playing at the game’s highest level.

Though the Rox obviously like what he brings to the table — and the production has been good at Albuquerque — Cardullo hasn’t yet delivered much in his brief time in the majors. Over 91 total plate appearances over the past two years, he owns only a .190/.253/.321 batting line.

      He actually looks like Paul Goldschmidt’s brother.

    Braves should sign him to a minor league deal, stick him at AA since Franco just got moved up to AAA and see how he does.

      He could probably sit on the DL with a broken wrist…

      The most ridiculous “my team should pick him up” statement ever on this site and that’s saying something.

      Not only does the article say he is already in discussions with Col on a new deal he broke his wrist his out for months and he’s struggled big time in MLB and he has excelled at AAA why stick him in AA. Yikes man… start with softball tourney coming up work your way up to MLB
