Yankees sell Steve Pearce to Baltimore

Found June 03, 2012 on Bronx Baseball Daily:
PLAYERS: Steven Pearce,  Eric Chavez,  Jorge Vazquez
TEAMS: Baltimore Orioles,  New York Yankees


The Yankees have sold Triple-A first baseman Steve Pearce to the Baltimore Orioles for cash after he exercised a June 1 opt-out clause in his contract, according to Chad Jennings of the Journal News.

Pearce, 29-years-old, absolutely crushed the ball at Triple-A this season. In 52 games he had an amazing line of .321/.422/.574/.996. Usually a line like that would at least get a team to give you a chance in The Show, but the Yankees were set at first base and with Eric Chavez healthy it didn’t make a lot of sense to promote him.

So they sold his rights to the Orioles rather than lose him for nothing. Hard to blame them for that, but hopefully it doesn’t come back to haunt them as he will join the O’s Major League team.

The Yankees don’t only suck with runners in scoring position, but they suck on the same...

When things have seemed particularly bad with the Birds this week, it has only gotten worse. I could not believe what I saw last night with the Orioles as they lost to the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-0, in a series matchup that is pretty much now a must-win. They are now out of first place, and the Rays are a game up on them in the divisional hunt. It is now six straight losses and counting...

It’s taken longer than anyone could have reasonably expected, but 20-year-old Cuban outfielder Jorge Soler was finally declared a free agent by Major League Baseball over the weekend and is free to sign with any team.
