The Toronto Blue Jays announced yesterday that they decided to released pitcher Emmanuel Ramirez after he was DFA'd last week by the team.
Ramirez was claimed off waivers from the Miami Marlins towards the end of the 2024 season after he struggled in Miami with a 6.97 ERA in 15 appearances with the Marlins which the Blue Jays decided to take a shot on afterwards.
In 15 appearances with the Marlins this season, Ramirez went 0-1 with a 6.97 ERA, 1.403 WHIP, 9.1 strikeouts per nine innings and a -0.3 WAR. Ramirez has appeared in 122 non-MLB games over the past three years, though, going 20-10 with a 3.18 ERA, 1.072 WHIP and 9.8 strikeouts per nine innings at the lower levels of competition. -Connon
The Blue Jays have released pitcher Emmanuel Ramirez
The Blue Jays announced last night that the latest pitcher to be released is Emmanuel Ramirez which comes as no surprise since they DFA'd him last week when then decided to place Luis Frias and Genesis Cabrera on waivers.
This move was made to make room for the Blue Jays newest pitcher, Michael Peterson, who was actually taken off waivers by the Blue Jays from the Miami Marlins as well.
Ramirez only spent a brief time north of the border, getting claimed off waivers from the Miami Marlins back on Sept. 5. Two months later, Ramirez was designated for assignment in order to make room for right-handed pitcher Michael Petersen, who was also picked up off waivers from the Marlins. -Connon
In Toronto, Ramirez never got called up to the majors spending his entire time with the Blue Jays organization in Triple-A and clearly was unable to prove his worth which resulted in him being released.
