St. Louis Cardinals fans everywhere can take a deep breath. We didn’t lose Ryan Meisinger. Most fans are obviously wondering who exactly Meisinger is which is understandable because he has never worn the birds on the bat.
Ryan Meisinger was acquired on December 10th in a waiver claim by the Cardinals from the Baltimore Orioles. For some reason the move caused some turmoil among Cardinals fans as the signing came during a particularly boring lull in the hot stove season and everyone wanted a bigger more exciting move.
After being on the team’s 40 man roster for just 11 days after being claimed on December 10th, the Cardinals decided to DFA Meisinger in response to signing veteran reliever Andrew Miller.
