The Angels figure to look into acquiring reliever Matt Herges, now that the Cleveland Indians reportedly have designated him fo
r assignment.
It wasn’t like he had pitched awfully. Herges, 39, had allowed fewer hits than innings pitched and he had a 3.55 ERA. The Tribe needed roster room for newly acquired Winston Abreu.
The Angels could trade for Herges or take a chance that he will clear waivers.
Another thing we learn from the above link is that Herges is “one of the game’s nicest people.”
I would take a flyer on Herges, especially if he doesn’t cost anything.
Mr. Whicker-
The Indians DFA’d Herges 10 days ago. He is now a free agent, available to sign with any team (and only costing them a pro-rated league minimum salary).
No trade needed
Sorry…Mr. Saxon.
