I am extremely there for the Carasiti/Caratini battery in Iowa that was made possible by the trade the Cubs swung Monday night.
Lefty Zac Rosscup, who had been DFA’d in order to make room on the 40-man roster for Mark Zagunis, was traded to Denver for righty Matt Carasiti. Primarily a closer by trade, Carasiti has notched 13 saves at AAA Albuquerque and has racked up 66 saves across four levels of the minors.
A sixth round draft pick out of St. John’s in 2012, the 25-year-old Carasiti features a mid-90’s fastball that he complements with a splitter and change.
