After being designated for assignment earlier this week, Tigers lefty Jose Fernandez has cleared waivers and will remain with AAA Toledo, per the MLB Roster Moves Twitter feed.
Fernandez came to Detroit this offseason via waivers after several years in the Blue Jays organization, but a brief pit stop with the Tigers across April and May yielded unpalatable results. After giving up 7 ER in just 3.2 big league IP, Fernandez was optioned to Toledo on May 9th. All told, the 26-year-old Dominican has an even 9.00 ERA across 14 big league innings dating back to last season.
Fernandez has been much more successful at preventing runs in Toledo this season, having logged a 3.90 ERA over 27 2/3 frames. However, he has only put up 5.86 K/9 against 4.23 BB/9 with Detroit’s top affiliate.

He killed himself and murdered his group of friends. No class to be given there. Sorry.

grim much? your comment suggests murder, maybe you too are in need of showing some class.

Not murder, but certainly manslaughter. It was 100 percent Fernandez’s fault

Come on guys we have all been there. Partying on your yacht, doing a bunch of blow, drunk out of your mind and going 85 into some rocks with all the homies.
