On Monday night, David Hale tossed two scoreless innings for the Yankees, as they walked all over the Twins in the first of a four-game set. What did Hale get as his reward? How about being designated for assignment.
Hale’s departure comes on the heels of the Yanks sending cash considerations to the Nationals for A.J. Cole; a fourth-round draft pick back in 2010.
Considered by many, at the time, as a first-round talent, Cole had already committed to the University of Miami; which combined with his demand for a lofty signing bonus, slightly diminished his stock.
