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.
匹兹堡海盗球员Francisco Cervelli于2015年加盟
并于该年与匹兹堡海盗队打进季后赛
但近年匹兹堡海盗队战绩不佳
且Francisco Cervelli常遭受触身球
导致脑震荡等后遗症
但他仍坚持上场打击
匹兹堡海盗队同意释出Francisco Cervelli
并祝福他能在其他球队获得更好的发展机会
真心喜欢Francisco Cervelli这名球员
这几年常被球吻
也渐渐的老了
在匹兹堡海盗队先发的机会也渐渐变少
感谢他这几年在匹兹堡海盗队的付出...
