Diamondbacks Release James Sherfy

By Connor Byrne | August 18, 2020 at 9:12pm CDT

The Diamondbacks have released reliever James Sherfy, per a team announcement. The right-hander had been part of their 60-man roster.

Sherfy will now have to find another organization for the first time in his career. The Diamondbacks used a 10th-round pick on Sherfy in 2013, and he went on to appear in the majors with the team in each of the previous three seasons. During that span Sherfy actually posted rather impressive overall numbers – a 2.98 ERA/3.82 FIP with 9.53 K/9 and 3.38 BB/9 – but he did so over just 45 1/3 innings and ended his D-backs career in poor fashion last season.

Sherfy threw a career-high 18 1/3 MLB frames in 2019, but opposing offenses pulverized him for 12 earned runs on 23 hits, including six homers. The 28-year-old did notch a 3.60 ERA with 12.6 K/9 and 5.4 BB/9 over 35 Triple-A frames, though he dealt with an upper body injury along the way. Arizona then outrighted him during the winter.

        Also a nickname for sprinkles.

        We aren’t talking about Sprinkles Sherfy?

          That sounds like an awesome ABA name.

      Jimmie Sherfy requested this offseason to be referred to as James starting this year.

        It’s like when Nick Castellanos started wanting to be referred to as Nicholas. Opting for the fancier name

        I am a James. In my early school years, my teachers called me James while my family referred to me as Jimmy. I hated both. At the start of fifth grade, two other boys named James joined our class. During recess on the first day, our teacher brought the three of us together to see who wanted to be called what. The two new boys had first dibs. One chose Jimmy. The other chose James. That left Jim for me. I was happy about this because that’s the name I wanted.

          I guess it’s a good thing you weren’t all named Richard.

    Would like to see the Red Sox give him a shot… they obviously need all the pitching help they can get… particularly guys with strikeout ability… and he’s clearly shown that in both the minors and majors.

    Sherfy appeared in the majors in 2012, 2011, and 2010? That’s impressive!

    Meet the Red Sox new toy, chosen from the island of misfit toys. The Red Sox are such a dumpster fire this year. Spin the wheel of gutless bums and see where it lands. (Shout out to 98.5)

    Never got a real chance in Arizona. He had moments where he looked like a figure back-end guy. Hopefully he gets an opportunity somewhere!
