The latest outright assignments from around MLB…
- Padres pitcher Kip Wells cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Tucson, according to U-T San Diego (via Twitter). The Padres designated the right-hander for assignment on Friday. Wells, 35, made seven starts for the Padres this year.
- The Blue Jays outrighted Andrew Carpenter to Triple-A, Las Vegas, according to MLB.com’s transactions page. The Blue Jays had removed Carpenter from their roster to create room for Adeiny Hechavarria and Jesse Chavez over the weekend.
- The Pirates outrighted Drew Sutton to Triple-A Indianapolis, according to MLB.com’s transactions page. Pittsburgh designated Sutton for assignment one week ago on the day of the non-waiver trade deadline.
Happy that Sutton is still in the organization. He was a nice spark the first week or so but regressed afterwards. Still, he was a great guy and genuinely enjoyed his time there, hopefully he will be back up when rosters expand.
It’s been a wild and crazy ride for sutton this year. Poor guy.
That’s the first time Sutton made it through waivers this year, he was claimed the previous 2 or 3 times and has a lot of stickers on his luggage. I’m glad he’s still with the Buccos, and he will probably be first in line for a recall if there are any injury issues.
‘Hey guys, I was pretty good 10 years ago, you should give me a chance!’ Seriously, Kip Wells amazes me
Man, I was sure every contending team needed a Kip Wells.
any other angel fans see the name wells and get really excited only to see it wasnt him?
damn, thought it was vernon wells
Man I saw that headline and thought it meant Vernon Wells. As an Angels fan, I was stoked!
