Sunday’s minor moves from around the game:
- The Mets have assigned Scott Copeland to Double-A after the right-hander cleared waivers, The Athletic’s Tim Healey reports (Twitter link). Copeland was designated for assignment on Friday after just a two-day stint in the majors, though he did chalk up his first MLB appearance since the 2015 season. The 30-year-old has a 3.22 ERA over 22 1/3 IP (all as a starter) at the Double-A level this season.
- The Diamondbacks have acquired right-handed reliever Brad Goldberg from the White Sox for cash considerations, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com and Zach Buchanan of The Athletic. Goldberg, 28, will now head to his second organization after initially joining Chicago in the 10th round of the 2013 draft. The hard thrower debuted in the majors last year with 12 innings of 8.25 ERA ball, but other than that, he has worked exclusively in the minors (including a 22 1/3-inning run at Double-A this season). Goldberg owns a 3.07 ERA with 9.0 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9 in 91 Triple-A innings.
The Sox need to shake their organization up top to bottom
Coop couldn’t fix ‘im!
What do you think they’ve been doing the last couple of years ? They are in the middle of a complete rebuild
The front office needs a shake up
They had their shakeup when JR finally gave Hahn the reigns. KW would have traded Sale and the others for the peanuts.
Get rid of Williams!
They should keep going, next up deal Shields while he is still pitching well…then Soria once he starts to turn it around
Hahn has always had weak or unbalanced pitching staffs even when he was trying to win
Huh ?! He’s been a GM for 3 seasons, they’ve been in rebuild mode after the Shields deal. His pitching staff (Sale & Quintana headlining) was the reason they had the best record in baseball for 10 weeks.
Why is anybody trashing the Sox FO?
Hahn is outstanding.
Mostly because “Hahn” moves were Kenny William’s doing things in disguise. Most true fans can see the difference between the players they went after in free agency and trade deadlines. Kenny like the washed up talent, Hanh went for more of an analytic approach.
Diamondbacks acquired Goldberg?
“Who’s next?”
