Cubs release Max Ramirez

From MLBTR:

The Cubs released catcher Max Ramirez, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports (on Twitter). The 26-year-old backstop is a free agent after a turbulent year that has seen him claimed off of waivers twice.

 

The Red Sox claimed Ramirez in January after coveting him for years. Five days later, they exposed him to waivers and the Cubs claimed him. Once a highly regarded prospect, Ramirez hit just .235/.300/.353 in 40 plate appearances at Triple-A Iowa. It's far from his career minor league line of .297/.394/.474, but the sample is small enough that another organization figures to give him a chance if he's looking for one. The Twins, for example, could sign him to a minor league deal.

I wonder if Clevenger moves up to AAA

I wonder if Clevenger moves up to AAA

 

 

I hope so, because that could be a chain type movement. I want to see Micah Gibbs get moved to Daytona and hopefully that would put Cabeza at Peoria as well.
