Royals acquire 26 year old right-hander Ramon Ramirez from the Colorado Rockies today in exchange for a PTBNL. Ramirez who is out of options will be added to the Royals 40-man roster today, to make room Jorge De La Rosa was designated for assignment, if he passes through waivers he will be moved to Omaha.
This move is somewhat surprising because Ramirez battled an elbow injury last year which could be a bad sign. De La Rosa being designated isn't much of a shock to me, the guy just can't seem to figure it out and with Gobble and Mahey in the bullpen there just doesn't seem to be room for him.
Today on The Program with Soren Petro he confirmed that Kyle Davies has been optioned to Omaha. That leaves, as expected, John Bale and Brett Tomko as the fourth and fifth starters breaking camp.
Other players optioned today Chin-Hui Tsao to the minor league camp, Ramon Colon to AA Arkansas and Ken Huckaby was also sent to the minors - no word to where yet.
