The Athletics announced today that catcher Chris Herrmann was released. He had rejected an outright assignment after clearing release waivers.
Herrmann was dropped from the MLB roster recently when the A’s decided to add backstop Beau Taylor. The club preferred the long-time minor-leaguer, who has a notable amount of experience with some of the organization’s recently promoted young pitchers.
While Herrmann was and is earning at a $1MM rate this year, the Oakland org wasn’t getting what it had hoped for out of the 31-year-old. He drew that deal after a strong offensive showing last season, but was slashing just .202/.280/.274 in 94 plate appearances this year before being cut loose.
Don’t worry pewee Herman the Giants will sign ya
Why? There’s no roster space for him. They don’t need him in the minors.
Because they sign all the other bums.
They didn’t sign you. So, your statement is false.
Exactly. Pickle wishes he had an ounce of talent that any MLBer has. He’ll never sniff a million per year in his life
Lol Buzz must be related to ol pewee Herman. It’s all good man there is a spot for ya on some aaa team
This sets his career back back back back back

Jon Daniels has already sent him a plane ticket
Texas needs a catcher. It says so in the other article.
Sadly, Hermann’s pathetic stats are an upgrade over Mathis stats…..
