The Twins have claimed righty David Hale off waivers from the Yankees, per a club announcement. Hale will be placed onto the active roster, which will require a corresponding move.
Minnesota had just announced a pitching move, calling up Aaron Slegers after dropping Rule 5 pick Tyler Kinley. Now, they’ll have another new addition to the MLB roster, which could mean that Slegers will end up back on optional assignment.
Hale had been designated by the Yankees as part of their own staff tweaking (in that case, claiming A.J. Cole). The 30-year-old Hale turned in one scoreless outing at the MLB level this year but has spent most of the first month of the season at Triple-A, where he owns a 5.52 ERA with ten strikeouts and two walks over 14 2/3 innings.
here we go, musical chairs starting again
The Twins getting desperate, this is a real Hale Mary.
You may be skeptical today, but soon you’ll see… all will Hale Falvine.
This move makes no sense at all. Hale hasn’t been worth taking a look at in years, beyond that, he’s no prospect at age 30 now.
Bad picture. Even worse mechanics. Good luck with that
Fernando Rodney getting the boot?
Oh God please get rid of this guy!! Me at 51 could get more outs than dude does!!!
Addison Reed needs to be the closer.
That didn’t last long…
