Steve Trachsel DFA’d
The Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles have designated veteran pitcher Steve Trachsel for assignment. Trachsel had fallen into a relief role with the club due to his terrible performance this season, going 2-5 with an 8.39 ERA in 10 games this season, the first eight as a starter.
This was Trachsel’s second time around with the O’s and it was hoped that he would add stability to an uncertain/inexperienced starting rotation. The decline in performance will probably signal the end of his career (he’s 37).
