Angels Moves: Ramirez, Jay

By Connor Byrne | May 18, 2021 at 8:05pm CDT

The Angels announced that right-handed reliever Noe Ramirez has cleared waivers and elected free agency. The Halos also outrighted outfielder Jon Jay, who will go to Triple-A Salt Lake, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group tweets.

The Angels designated Ramirez for assignment on Sunday, less than a week after selecting his contract on May 11. The 31-year-old, also a former Red Sox, has appeared in the majors with the Angels in each season since 2017. The Angels traded him to the Reds last winter in a deal revolving around fellow reliever Raisel Iglesias, but Cincinnati quickly cut ties with Ramirez, who then re-signed with the Halos. He has recorded a 4.20 ERA/3.74 SIERA with a 25.4 percent strikeout rate against an 8.8 percent walk rate in 214 1/3 major league innings, including 3 1/3 frames this season.

The Angels have designated Jay for assignment twice since April. The 36-year-old has only totaled 14 plate appearances with the club this season, though he may be more likely to receive an extended chance with center fielder Mike Trout battling a calf strain that will keep him out until at least July.

    Noe Ramirez is sneaky good. Obviously not up there in the Hendriks, Chapman, kimbrel tier. But I think he definitely has to be mentioned in the next tier of relievers.

      Think you’ll never make it as a scout.

      Ummm…no. Most charitable thing I can say is you apparently haven’t watched him pitch in a few years.

      Up 14 runs? He’s lights-out. Game on the line? He’s Barney Fife with a hanging slider.

        Ehhhj. The problem is that’s he’s very susceptible to the long ball which makes him a mess in close games.

      I think Noe is a bit underrated, he’s quality bullpen depth. Hasn’t pitched well this season, but was generally solid for the the Angels. I would not, however, put him in the second or even third tier of relievers.

    Good luck Noe, but if you can’t make it here, you can’t make anywhere.

      Tampa Bay will sign him and turn him around. Then trading him to the Halos for his 3rd stint with the club.

    Yikes, a first-inning disaster by Heaney.

    Question(s) to Angels fans: Ohtani has been consistently effective. The other five SPs (Bundy, Canning, Cobb, Heaney, and Quintana) have been shakey, to put it kindly. How much bearing does the unresolved Callaway situation have on this?

    Also, what should be done if Callaway is let go before the season is over? Should they hire someone in-season or wait until the off-season?

      Callaway hasn’t had any impact on the SP this season. The only reason he hasn’t been fired is the team is seeking a way to fire him for cause to avoid paying the remains of his salary.

      And frankly, if he was still the coach the info that’s come out on him in last months would make it impossible for any player to listen and take him seriously.

        I probably wasn’t clear enough. Obviously, Callaway himself hasn’t had an impact on the 2021 pitching staff. My question revolves around whether being unable (or unwilling) to move on from Callaway has had a negative impact on the staff. As it stands now, replacing during the season would limit the options to guys not currently coaching in MLB. With that in mind, should the Angels just wait until the off-season before hiring someone?

      Last year Angels starters improved throughout the year, particularly Canning and Heaney. I attributed this to Callaway having enough time to work some magic.

      Those two have massively regressed this year. As has Bundy although some regression was expected of him. Quintana simply fell off a cliff and Cobb is just Cobb.

      Either the league adjusted to Heaney, Bundy, and Canning’s changes from last year or they miss Callaway. Probably a bit of both IMO.

    Home run, Ohtani. He is not from this planet.

      Other full time players have just as many homeruns. You are reading to much hype on Notani.

    Please no Jay. The dude is done. Give Schebler some run. He has power and upside at least.
