The Angels announced that they’ve outrighted left-hander Adalberto Mejia to Triple-A Salt Lake after he cleared waivers. Mejia hasn’t been outrighted in the past, nor does he have the service time to reject an assignment in favor of free agency, so he’ll stay in the organization.
This has been a wild season for Mejia, a member of the Twins, Angels (twice) and Cardinals in 2019. The Angels designated the former top 100 prospect for assignment Wednesday after his major league struggles continued in his second go-around in their uniform. The 26-year-old has thrown 7 1/3 innings of six-run (five earned) ball in a Halos uniform this season.
Since he debuted in the majors in 2016, Mejia has pitched to a 4.79 ERA/4.64 FIP across 148 1/3 innings (51 appearances, 25 starts). Mejia has logged 7.58 K/9, 4.31 BB/9 and a 36.3 percent groundball rate in that span.
Glad to keep him around. He’s a depth piece and we have no AAA depth at this time.
Outside Jo Adell this organization has nothing in the minors lolzzzzz
Trout will be wasted with an owner that believes he is in LA and a GM that’s way over his head.
This organization has zero direction PERIOD
you must have a crap life shane. lol! I love your torment.
Remember when Shane said Trout would leave. Now has moved on to wasted.
This -season has done nothing but cause confusion and disappointment for Angels fans. As a lifelong angel fan of someone who has communication with people inside the angels organization, this team lacks direction and that is a fact. They have no idea what they are doing, management standpoint. And that is from the words of people on the inside. They play baseball on paper instead of on the field. The decision making is beyond idiotic, it’s often times comical. The amazing thing is that the only consistency this team as achieved is consistently terrible. How they manage to lose the same way night after night is dumbfounding, and the lack of accountability shows that this organization is flawed at its core.
