Mike Belfiore – MLB Trade Rumors https://www.mlbtraderumors.com Fri, 02 May 2014 17:58:16 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 Tigers Outright Mike Belfiore https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/05/tigers-outright-mike-belfiore.html https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/05/tigers-outright-mike-belfiore.html#comments Fri, 02 May 2014 17:54:17 +0000 http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/?p=37853 The Tigers announced that they’ve outrighted left-hander Mike Belfiore off the 40-man roster in order to clear a spot for Joel Hanrahan.

Detroit claimed the 25-year-old southpaw off waivers from the Orioles earlier this year. Belfiore has one career appearance in the Majors — a 1 1/3 inning outing last season in which he yielded a pair of runs. He’s been solid throughout his minor league career, posting a 3.79 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9 in 417 2/3 innings to date.

Tigers Claim Mike Belfiore From Orioles https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/04/tigers-claim-mike-belfiore-from-orioles.html https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/04/tigers-claim-mike-belfiore-from-orioles.html#respond Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:22:32 +0000 http://localhost/mlbtraderumors/2014/04/tigers-claim-mike-belfiore-from-orioles.html The Tigers have claimed lefty Mike Belfiore off waivers from the Orioles, the club announced. Detroit optioned Belfiore to Triple-A.

Belfiore, 25, has no meaningful MLB experience but threw to a 3.18 ERA in 76 1/3 Triple-A innings (in just 37 appearances) last year. Lengthy relief outings are not a new thing for the Boston College product, who notably tossed 9 2/3 scoreless frames in a collegiate post-season tilt that proved to be the longest game in college baseball history. He came to Baltimore as the player to be named later in the trade that shipped Josh Bell to the Diamondbacks in early 2012.
