The Cardinals have released 28-year old lefty reliever Reynel Pinto. Pinto pitched in 18 games (0 starts) in AAA-ball for the Cardinals this year and he was 0-0 with a 4.78 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP. Pinto walked 22 batters in only 26 1/3 innings which is what likely earned him his release. Pinto did strike out 31 batters so all was not bad in the minors for him. I’m sure some other team will give Pinto another chance before the year is out but the Cardinals did the right thing as he wasn’t going to help them any time soon.
