The latest minor moves from around the league:
- The Diamondbacks announced they’ve acquired right-hander Tyler Jones from the Marlins, completing the teams’ December deal that sent Rule 5 draft pick Zach Pop to Miami. The Marlins selected Jones in the 26th round of the 2018 draft. He’d struggled to a 6.83 ERA over three seasons at Wichita State, but he’s been much more productive in pro ball. The 25-year-old has a 2.02 mark in 40 appearances (eight starts) in the low minors, punching out an impressive 27.8% of opposing hitters.
Marlins now with 7 blown saves! And on back to back nights! This may be the most undependable bullpen since we had both Kevin Gregg and Renyel “Ford” Pinto taking turns at blowing every game in sight.
Sheesh!
Something that’s more easily correctable though compared to other problems. The other baseball team in the state seems to have a never-ending supply of relievers.
