The Pittsburgh Pirates just announced that they have released catcher Francisco Cervelli. No waivers, no DFA. Just his unconditional release.
Cervelli had been on a rehab assignment in the minors in his efforts to come back from a concussion. He had been sidelined since May, and there had been no timeline for his return, but he played in a minor league game as recently as Monday.
Over the summer, however, Cervelli voiced doubts about his ability to continue catching in light of the six concussions he’s weathered over the last decade. At one point he said he could not catch again but then walked it back. Whether his release was requested and whether Cervelli plans to end his big league career is not yet known.
I’m sure we’ll hear more about this soon.
匹茲堡海盜球員Francisco Cervelli於2015年加盟
並於該年與匹茲堡海盜隊打進季後賽
但近年匹茲堡海盜隊戰績不佳
且Francisco Cervelli常遭受觸身球
導致腦震盪等後遺症
但他仍堅持上場打擊
匹茲堡海盜隊同意釋出Francisco Cervelli
並祝福他能在其他球隊獲得更好的發展機會
真心喜歡Francisco Cervelli這名球員
這幾年常被球吻
也漸漸的老了
在匹茲堡海盜隊先發的機會也漸漸變少
感謝他這幾年在匹茲堡海盜隊的付出...
