Rockies To Promote AJ Ramos

By Mark Polishuk | September 19, 2020 at 5:17pm CDT

6:17 pm: Ramos’ promotion has been made official. Roster space was opened by the designation of right-hander Wade Davis for assignment.

1:02 pm: The Rockies are preparing to call right-hander AJ Ramos up to their active roster, The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports (Twitter link).  An additional move will need to be made to create a space for Ramos on the team’s 40-man roster.

After a couple of false starts, it looks like Ramos is finally set to make his return to the majors after almost 28 months.  The righty underwent shoulder surgery in 2018 after a rough 19 2/3 innings with the Mets that season, and was off the radar until this summer, when he inked minor league deals with both the Dodgers and Cubs.  Neither of those contracts led to a Major League call-up, however, and the Rockies signed Ramos to yet another minors deal after the Cubs released him in early September.

Ramos turns 34 tomorrow, so the promotion is a nice birthday present for the former All-Star.  Ramos posted some strong numbers with the Marlins from 2012-17 (including a 2.78 ERA, 2.19 K/BB rate, and 10.4 K/9), though his productivity dipped in 2017, particularly after a July trade to the Mets.  The 22-28 Rockies are on the verge of being eliminated from postseason contention, so there’s nothing to be lost in seeing whether or not Ramos could potentially be a candidate for their 2021 bullpen.

    Nice early birthday gift. I guess the Rockies are just going to try whoever at this point.

    Ramos situation has been interesting this year. In summer camp with the Dodgers, I thought he looked pretty good. Never brought up and then got released. Signed and released within a few days with the Cubs

    odd how he didnt last too long in LAD or CHC’s pools, but gets a relatively quick promotion to COL.

    They should DFA Wade Davis to make room.

      Guess I should have scrolled up before commenting. I’d say great minds think alike but Bridich certainly isn’t in that category and perhaps I’m not either.

    Could not be worse than Davis.

      Right. I imagine his WAR is historically low for five or less innings pitched.

      I would hope that the bar is set just a bit higher than just being better than Davis. If that is the bar, I might have a shot too. I can give up 5 runs in 2/3rd of an inning too.

    Wade takes his 20+ ERA with him to free agency.
