Rays Designate Sean Gilmartin For Assignment

By Steve Adams | September 29, 2020 at 10:11am CDT

The Rays have designated left-hander Sean Gilmartin for assignment in order to open a spot on the roster for top pitching prospect Shane McClanahan, tweets Juan Toribio of MLB.com.

A former first-round pick and top pitching prospect himself, Gilmartin had a strong rookie campaign with the Mets as a Rule 5 pick back in 2015 but hasn’t found much success in the big leagues since. He logged just 4 1/3 frames with Tampa Bay this season, yielding four runs on seven hits and four walks with five strikeouts. Since that sharp rookie season, Gilmartin has a combined 6.09 ERA in 54 2/3 innings. He did notch a 3.95 ERA through 66 innings in an extremely hitter-friendly Triple-A setting last year, though Gilmartin carries a more pedestrian 4.93 mark in 486 frames at that level. He’ll be a minor league free agent at season’s end, assuming no other club claims him.

      Not everything is political. It’s most likely because he’s just not very good at his job.

        i think this comment was made because someone made it political last time he got designated (or maybe the previous, he’s been up and down so much)

      Why would it be political? I see nothing in the writeup indicating that, unless Iam missing something.
