In a second move of the day, the Red Sox announced that they have selected the contract of righty Erasmo Ramirez. He’ll take the active roster spot of fellow right-hander Marcus Walden, who was optioned down.
This move didn’t require a complementary 40-man transaction, as the club had an opening to work with. But it does still pose some future roster limitations, as the veteran Ramirez will need now need to stay on the active roster or be exposed to waivers.
Soon to turn 29, Ramirez has seven years of MLB experience as a swingman. He struggled through a homer-prone, ten-start stint last year with the Mariners before landing with the Boston club on a minors pact. In two starts at Triple-A to open the 2019 campaign, he allowed just one earned run in eight innings while recording five strikeouts and no walks.

maybe a healthy season is all Rasi needs. He was pretty solid before dealing with injuries last year.

Yeah a few back he was dealing out of the Rays pen

Looks a lot like Tigers’ reliever Joe Jimenez. Oh well, at least if Luke Voit gets plunked and then jogged out at first again, he knows exactly what to say.

Ah yes, an impactful horse s**t for cow s**t maneuver.
Start passing around the ring sizing kits…….

Eight innings no walks. Probably catching to Leon. The walks to date have been problematic.

They don’t need a kit.. the one from the 2018..108 win regular season..is still good
Relax Francis..

The only thing I know about this guy is that I traded for him in MLB The Show. Didn’t even realize he was a real person, since the video game (like most) randomly generates fake names for new prospects.
Anyway, he immediately got injured

I picked him up 2 years ago in the show because he was DEALING. Ended up doing well for me that season.

Another great Redsox move! After tonite, Jenrry Mejia is probably next.
