Karstens designated for assignment
The Pittsburgh Pirates have designated pitcher Jeff Karstens for assignment, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Karstens was 4-6 with a 5.42 ERA in 39 appearances (13 starts) last season.
Our View: It looks like Karstens isn't in the future plans for the Pirates next season, which is a bit of a surprise. He is out of minor league options, which could have been a major reason why this move was made, but he will be in someone's plans next year.
Pirates | Three designated for assignment
Rob Biertempfel, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports the Pittsburgh Pirates designated SP Jeff Karstens, C Robinzon Diaz and P Justin Thomas for assignment Friday, Nov. 20.
