Rays released RHP Casey Weathers. | ||||||
The 29-year-old right-hander appeared in eight games at High-A Charlotte, posting a 13.06 ERA, 2.52 WHIP and 8/12 K/BB ratio. He has lengthy history of injuries, but could find another organization willing to give him a shot on a minor league deal. | ||||||

Giants released RHP Casey Weathers. | ||||||
Weathers, now 27, was drafted No. 8 overall by the Rockies in 2007. It was a questionable pick at the time and injuries and underperformance have been constant themes for him. He hasn't pitched in pro ball since 2012 in the Cubs' organization. | ||||||

Cubs sent RHP Casey Weathers outright to Triple-A Iowa. | ||||||
Weathers was acquired via trade this offseason from the Rockies along with third baseman Ian Stewart. He registered a rough 5.32 ERA and 48/48 K/BB ratio across 45 2/3 innings last season at Double-A and is unlikely to see any time in the major leagues this year. | ||||||

| Thu Dec 8 2011 | 20:52 | Cubs get Weathers, Stewart in 4-player swap | ||||
Cubs acquired RHP Casey Weathers and 3B Ian Stewart from the Rockies for OF Tyler Colvin and INF DJ LeMahieu. | ||||||
Weathers posted a troubling 5.32 ERA and 48/48 K/BB ratio in 45 2/3 innings this past year for the Rockies' Double-A affiliate. He's a former first-round pick, but he's also 26 years old and unlikely to suddenly gain dominance in the Cubs' minor league system. He was essentially a throw-in to the four-player swap. | ||||||
