Finally
theeterps
Pirates should bring him back
leefieux
Why? Do we really need another arsonist?
thebare
May’s on a minor league deal give him a rest he was over used in mop up roles Brewers don’t have to many bad days this year.
woolcorp
Another elite believer that had his career ruined by Jon Daniels. Too bad.

Agreed, it was a head-scratching move to bring him to the rotation. GM’s like Daniels & others’ failures should be highlighted more. Instead, this huge gaff (generational closer) will be forgotten with time. Daniels will be GM Emertius & ride off into the sunset.
timyanks
when was he in the rotation. he’s a reliever.
sab3rmetric
Back in 2012 and a few starts in he had to have TJ surgery and never was the same.
troll
never started with brewers, i don’t think. wanted to be a starter when with rangers, so they gave him a shot.
GeauxRangers
Elite?
darkstar61
From 2009-2014 there were 139 releivers to post at least 200 IP. He is one of the mere 12 to also sport a sub-2.50 ER – and he did it in Arlington.
It was all good for a 175 ERA+ over that 5 year stretch
The statement isn’t really out of line.

What took so long.

Being him to the white sox and let cooper fix him
Strauss
Cooper couldn’t fix nothing. They’re in last place again. Quit thinking he’s a savior. He and Williams can leave Chicago anytime.

I find it funny that every team swears they have an elite pitching coach when their team is awful
The Ghost of Bobby Bonilla
Pirates absolutely need to grab him to clear the way for the inevitable Watson trade coming soon.
leefieux
No they don’t.
davidcoonce74
This has Nats all over it, right?
Solaris611
Omg NO!!!! Nats already have enough back end arms who get torched on a daily basis. WAS needs an EFFECTIVE closer.

As I mentioned a couple days ago, as bad as Neftali has been, BAbip shows he was actually on the lucky side of things this season – let that sink in!
So unfortunate how his career has taken this horrible turn, but hopefully he can catch on with a club who will stick him in AAA with a great coach and get him back on track.

A guy with his track record and age will certainly get another chance,especially if he is released. A change of scenery might just work out.
bleacherbum
Yeah. You have the Phillies, Giants and Padres at the top of the waiver wire order, got to figure he doesn’t get passed those 3 teams.
The Giants just grabbed a former Rangers closer in the hopes of re-discovering his form and with how bad their bullpen has been so far why not add another former Ranger closer.
The Phillies make sense on a pure stand point of, they are bad and if they can reclaim his value it gives them a trade chip to add to the rebuilding process.
The Padres because Preller and Feliz have ties to their Ranger days where Preller scouted and was influential in the drafting of him. So maybe he gives him another opportunity, this time in SD to work with Darren Balsley.

I think he’s more likely to end up back with the Rangers than the Pirates.
His low groundball rate doesn’t fit their mold. They gave it a shot and thought better of it.

Hello Cardinal nation.
EndinStealth
Worth a shot. Couldn’t really hurt.
joew
at league minimum i’d like to see him back in Pittsburgh if they got rid of watson or hudson to make room.
SixFlagsMagicPadres
Maybe the Padres can take a chance on this guy.

I guess this will be the next great Twins experiment…
