The Revolution lost its second player to affiliated baseball during its three-game series with the Southern Maryland Crabs. And the latest one hurts.
The Boston Red Sox purchased the contract for left-handed starting pitcher Dave Gassner (2-3, 3.06 ERA) and assigned him to Double-A Portland.
“With the high level Dave was playing at, it’s not surprising the Red Sox were interested,” Revolution Director of Baseball Operations Adam Gladstone said. “It’s tough to lose a guy that has been throwing that well for us, but we wish him the best.”
Gassner ranked third in the league in ERA, and he was coming off an eight-inning, one-run outing against Southern Maryland Monday. He outdueled former major leaguer John Halama, who signed with the Cleveland Indians Wednesday.
York lost its first player of the season to a major league organization on Monday, when the Rockies assigned infielder Kenny Perez to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Six Revolution players returned to major league organizations last season, including current Southern Maryland pitcher Jeff Farnsworth (2-2).
