The Nationals have agreed to terms on a minor-league deal with righty Neil Ramirez, according to multiple reports. Eric Garment of NumbersMLB appears to have first tweeted the news.
Ramirez, 28, seems destined to provided some depth to the organization’s top affiliate as it continues to work out its MLB relief unit. He had just been released by the Mets after failing to hold down a job in New York.
Though he continues to show an ability to miss bats, Ramirez has struggled through his 31 1/3 major league innings this year. He owns a 7.18 ERA with 12.6 K/9 and 6.0 BB/9; in addition to the free passes, Ramirez has been hurt by permitting six home runs.
He’s garbage. Twins had him for a little while and then released him. If you can’t make the twins bullpen, you probably can’t make it anywhere.
Yeah and the Twins bullpen has been a revolving door the last 2 seasons
Like I said, it appears to be the end for Neil.
Arm is too good not to sign.
The wording made me laugh. He was released by the Mets after failing to hold down a job in New York. Lol Sounds like they kicked him out for not working somewhere.
Also, I don’t think it’s accurate. He was DFA’d and chose free agency over going to Vegas.
More bandaids on gaping wounds.
Or more salt
