Cory Gearrin

[William Malone]

Cory Nathanial Gearrin was born on April 14, 1986 in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The Atlanta Braves selected him in round four of the 2007 MLB Draft. He debuted for them at the big league level in 2011, registering a 4.28 ERA over 77 relief appearances during his three seasons with the Braves. Gearrin missed the 2014 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, then signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants.

He became a jourmany reliever after getting healthy, and owns a 3.61 career ERA over nine seasons with seven teams; the Braves, Giants, Texas Rangers, Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners, New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins.

Minnesota was the final stop of his big league journey. They signed him to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training on February 17, 2020. Gearrin struggled in spring training, allowing seven runs over five innings before the COVID-19 pandemic shut it all down. When things resumed in July, the Twins invited him to work out of their alternate site with other reserve players. Gearrin was called up for one game on August 9th, tossing two shutout innings out of the Twins bullpen in a 4-2 loss against the Kansas City Royals.

If you go through all 30 teams, you'll find tons of examples like this for all of them. The New York Mets with their record setting payroll have used a single season record 46 different pitchers this year. That's a lot of random Quad-A guys filling in back end rotation/bullpen spots for injured guys. And it'll be the last MLB stop for handful of them. Every team has tons of guys like you described.

There was nothing in my pst to suggest that this was unique to the Twins.

When did I say, or even suggest, there was anything in your post that was unique to the twins?

Your first response comes across as condescending , hence my question.  Nice to see you can’t answer it.  The response of what goes on in other clubs to my comments is saying the situation the situation is not unique to the Twins. There was no need  for any of your retorts,

I’ll ask a second time. When did I say, or even imply, your post was exclusively related to the Twins? I asked a question. Answer it. Don’t deflect. You’re becoming the condescending one by deflecting

You brought up the Mets as a counter to my comment. In asking you the question of uniqueness because the Mets, nor no other team, had a bearing in my comment, so why did you bother to bring it up?  

AAAA players  are usually players that have excelled throughout the minors but bomb once they hit the majors.  Like the Mendoza line of .215, meanings get changed to fit whatever the person wants it to
