I didnt read the entire trades thread but did anyone post this trade?? I think the Braves made a good move by trading him..
Braves send Sosa to Cardinals
The Braves dealt Jorge Sosa to the Cardinals for a minor-leaguer, one day after the disappointing pitcher was designated for assignment.
Sosa was a huge surprise in 2005, going 13-3 with a 2.55 ERA after being acquired from Tampa Bay for a backup infielder during spring training. But the 28-year-old right-hander was horrible this season, going 3-10 with a 5.46 ERA in 36 games. He lost his spot in the rotation after 13 starts, and a brief attempt to turn him into a closer failed miserably. He spent his final weeks with the Braves in a mop-up role.
"He obviously hasn't done for us what he did last year," Atlanta general manager John Schuerholz said Sunday after Sosa was removed from the roster. "He did a great job for us last year and it hasn't worked as well this year."
The Braves acquired right-handed reliever Rich Scalamandre from the Cardinals. He was 7-0 with two saves and a 4.44 ERA while splitting time between Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis this season. The 25-year-old pitcher was assigned to Atlanta's Triple-A team at Richmond.
