The latest minor moves from around the sport…
- The Blue Jays announced that they’ve outrighted reliever Preston Guilmet to Triple-A. Toronto designated Guilmet on Wednesday after he allowed eight earned runs in as many innings with the team, which claimed him off waivers from the Cardinals on June 9. Given that the 30-year-old has been outrighted before, he could elect free agency, though it seems he’ll stay with the Jays.
Earlier updates:
- The Cubs outrighted Chris Gimenez to Triple-A after the catcher cleared waivers (ESPN Chicago’s Jesse Rogers was among those to report the news). Gimenez was designated for assignment on Wednesday to create room for the newly-promoted Victor Caratini. After signing a minors deal with Chicago last winter, Gimenez has appeared in 12 games this season, producing only a .143/.219/.143 slash line over 32 plate appearances.
With Darvish sucking this year, they don’t need Gimenez
Darvish is the Cubs’ SP leader in xFIP and SIERA, ya goob. Can’t blame a guy for bad luck.
Why can’t you?
Doesn’t really mean much when he’s spent so long on the DL
Guilmet should do the right thing and retire…
