Well, at least one Stripers’ player isn’t done playing baseball this season. Before noon on Sunday, the Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins agreed on a deal sending LaMarre to the Twins in exchange for cash.
The Twins immediately added LaMarre to their 40-man roster, though the 30-year-old can only play during the regular season — he isn’t postseason-eligible in 2019.
Any player acquired outside of a team’s organization after September 1, is no longer eligible for postseason play.
Regardless, LaMarre has been given an opportunity to potentially showcase his talents, coming off an excellent season in Triple-A with Gwinnett.
