Luken Baker a Dodger

per John Denton. Just claimed in time to light up the Cards

[JuanAgosto]

Had he been released? Is there any return?

[Ozziesfan41]

He may hit a couple of home runs for them and the standard “how can they give up the great baker” threads will start up

I didn't realize Baker was DFA'd. Blaze Jordan takes his spot in the system.

Apparently a waiver claim. Cards made room to pick up a LHP from Marlins on waiver and immediately assigned him to AAA (Anthony Veneziano)

Tony The Venetian now wears the birds on the gondole.

In all seriousness, I can't see him getting called up with Freeman at 1b and some guy named Ohtani at DH. Dodgers probably made the move to provide organization depth.

St. Louis had not previously announced that Baker was dropped from the 40-man roster but evidently tried to run him through waivers.
It’s a bit surprising that the Cards went that route. They had four open spots on the 40-man roster, so it’s not as if they were pressed for space.

They're doing him a favor. No place for him now at AAA with Jordan on the team. He got a chance for another team with a need to pick him up and get playing time.

good

[EastCoastDave]

Not intending to be mean, but this came two-three years too late. He was going nowhere with the Cards, so they should have made him available earlier so he might have gotten playing time elsewhere.

Ivan came back from injury when they were going against a good amount of lefties and Baker got sent down. Hope he tears it up.

agree

[blackinkbiz]

F me it's pretty much guaranteed he's going to hit 2 home runs against us this series.

What does F me mean? Is it a code?
