Minor MLB Transactions: 7/15/19

By Steve Adams | July 15, 2019 at 7:04am CDT

We’ll kick off the week with a handful of minor moves from around the league…

  • The Mets have released right-handed reliever Arquimedes Caminero from their Triple-A affiliate, as first noted on the International League transactions log. The flamethrowing 32-year-old generated solid results with the Pirates in 2015-16 before signing on to pitch with Japan’s Yomiuri Giants in 2017-18. His return to the U.S. didn’t go smoothly, however, as he’s posted a 5.09 ERA in 17 2/3 with the Mets’ top affiliate in Syracuse. Caminero logged 15 strikeouts but also surrendered 10 free passes, continuing to display some of the control issues that plagued him during his last MLB run. In 155 big league frames, Caminero has a 3.83 ERA with 8.3 K/9, 4.0 BB/9 and a fastball that has averaged 97.6 mph.
  • Left-hander Zac Curtis has been released by the Rangers, according to the Pacific Coast League transactions log. Curtis, who just turned 27, went from the D-backs to the Mariner as a lower-profile piece in the Mitch Haniger/Jean Segura for Ketel Marte/Taijuan Walker swap. He’s bounced to the Phillies and the Rangers since that swap, appearing in the big leagues with each team along the way. Curtis re-signed with Texas after being outrighted this past winter, but he’s had a nightmare season in the hitter-friendly PCL. Despite racking up 40 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings, Curtis has been hammered for an 8.90 ERA due to 25 free passes, four hit batters and a whopping 10 home runs allowed. Prior to this season, Curtis had a solid Triple-A track record, although he’d also issued 35 walks in 38 MLB innings, so the alarming control issues aren’t exactly an out-of-the-blue development.

    Caminero was suspended 7 games back in May for hitting batters in consecutive games, and wasn’t heard from since.

    Pirates should take a look at Caminero, when he was last here he was better than some of the batting practice relievers they have now.

      That’s the truth. The big problem with Caminero is similar to Michael Feliz when he struggles: they both throw really hard, but really straight, fastballs, and they don’t always have good enough control of their secondary pitches. Still, I wouldn’t complain at all if they gave Arquimedes Euclides Caminero another look (yep, that’s his full name).
