Marlins Release Brian Ellington

By Steve Adams | April 9, 2018 at 7:37pm CDT

The Marlins have released right-hander Brian Ellington, as the MLB.com transactions page reflects. He had been designated for assignment recently after missing time in camp due to biceps tendinitis.

Ellington, 27, has a blistering fastball and increasingly showed an ability to miss some bats over his three years in the majors. But he also allowed more hard contact, home runs, and walks in 2017 than he had in the prior two campaigns.

Though he maintained a 2.64 ERA through his first 58 MLB innings, that all hit the skids last year. In his 44 2/3 frames in 2017, Ellington worked to a 7.25 ERA with 9.7 K/9 but also 7.1 BB/9 while allowing seven home runs.

    This transaction makes no real sense to me. He has the potential to miss bats, and put up good numbers in Triple A last year, even on top of that bad season in 2017. If anything his performance in the majors was an outlier season.

    Is he really that much of a financial burden to release him?

    It’s not like he has prolonged struggles ERA wise and I know ERA doesn’t tell the whole story, but he can strike guys out, but walks a few.

      Baseball is littered with big arm, no control guys nowadays. He’s nothing special.

      Isn’t this just a 40 man move? The brought someone up, Gonzalez and they likely needed the spot. Ellington has tendinitis and would probably have to be put on someone’s 40 man roster to be claimed. That’s my guess. He probably clears waivers and is sent to AAA in a few days.

    The whole team should be reassigned to double A

      This is the kind of arm the pirates like, and they definitely need the help in the bullpen

      I’m assuming you just got off your stocking shift.
