The AAA roster is pretty loaded, I would imagine they can only support so much in salary.

He’ll get picked up somewhere, they released him early enough. But he has to work harder at getting better. :)

Between Cincy and now the Astros, any ex-Cards reliever should feel comfortable he’ll have a home.

I had forgotten about when they took him off in Sept. Sounds like that was a harbinger of this move.
