MLB News
• In a move that surprised a lot of people, 1B/DH Hanley Ramirez was designated for assignment by the Red Sox to create roster space for 2B Dustin Pedroia on Friday. Given that Ramirez is putting up his worst offensive numbers in years and is owed another $15 million dollars for the remainder of the season (not to mention the $22 million vesting option that he’s about 300 plate appearances from activating) it’s likely he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and become a free agent. Given his limited defensive capabilities (and subpar bat so far this season) it’d be surprising if a team gave him a major league contract once he hits the market but that remains to be seen. For more on the teams decision check out MLB Trade Rumors article here.
• White Sox catcher Wellington Castillo has been hit with an 80 game suspension after failing a test that detected a known PED in his system. Castillo had been starting at catcher for the rebuilding White Sox and having a solid year hitting the ball (270/314/477 with 6 home runs) since signing a two year deal last off-season. He’ll forfeit close to half of his salary for the season with this suspension while the White Sox are left with light hitting Omar Narvaez to start fill his spot behind the plate.
• The MLB trade season has gotten off to an early start, the suddenly hot Seattle Mariners have reached a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays, acquiring veteran OF Denard Span and closer Alex Colome (plus reportedly cash to cover slightly less than half of the money owed to the two the rest of the season) in exchange for two minor league pitchers. Span isn’t the runner he once was but still gets on base at a healthy clip while Colome isn’t quite as dominant the last year plus as he was when he initially became Tampa’s closer. He’s likely going to be in a setup role for Seattle going forward.
