It’s not a glamorous trade by any means, but the Braves are continuing to give themselves options in the bullpen. Today it is Jose Ramirez – who may have been available more out of necessity from Seattle, as they just opened up a 40-man roster slot in the process.
Ramirez will be 26 in January and had been a Yankee until until 2015. He came over to the West Coast as part of the Dustin Ackley trade made on July 30.
Ramirez is a 6’3″/190 fireballer who has a plus-plus changeup to go with 100-mph heat… if he knows where it’s going.
