The Cardinals have announced that they’ve claimed lefty Sean Gilmartin from the Mets and optioned him to Triple-A Memphis. The Mets designated Gilmartin for assignment earlier today.
Gilmartin struggled in Triple-A Las Vegas this season, with a 7.05 ERA, 7.5 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 at the Triple-A level. He is, however, a controllable lefty with big-league experience — he posted a 2.67 ERA, 8.5 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 for the Mets in 2015 after they took him from the Twins in the Rule 5 Draft the prior winter. He is also capable of starting and can also be optioned, which perhaps might have contributed to the Cardinals’ decision to take a flier on him.
That’s deep man…
Wow what a major move to help the team
This team can only be helped if carpenter, molina, piscotty, wong, diaz, fowler start hitting the damn ball. As long as they stay cold then ted williams couldn’t do much for this team. So, this might not be a big move, but it is a very low risk and potential big gain move. He looked good two years ago for the mets. Perhaps they can figure out what happened and fix it. Perhaps not, but either way it didn’t cost us anything so who cares? Now when/if the offense heats up, besides against the terrible phills, then you can start complaining that they didn’t trade for donaldson or some other big bat. Until the team starts helping themselves it would be very dumb to get rid of top prospects for a bat that can’t carry the entire offense by themselves. The only players that even deserve a paycheck this year are the startering pitchers, gyorko, pham, oh and rosey. The rest should donate their damn money to charity.
Why don’t you tell us how you really feel
I’m pretty sure Ted Williams or Stan Musial could help this team. Lol
Well that was quick
That’s one of the quickest DFA limbos I’ve ever seen
Adios
Cardinals sweep Phils with Fryer catching … they have a winning record with him starting behind the plage… hmmmmm? Maybe its time to try to ship that overrated piece of dung Molina packing… for anything! Start the rebuild now!! Peralta and Broxton just the start.
Dumb
Gtfoh with that! Is it the dope or dog food?
Wow. And a username “MoMustGo” to boot. You have to be a troll right? I want to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you aren’t this ignorant.
