The Kansas City Royals release Ryan Braun
The Royals have released 28-year old righty reliever Ryan Braun. Braun had Tommy John Surgery last April and he probably won’t be ready for the start of the 2009 season. Braun pitched 2 seasons for the Royals and he worked in 35 games (0 starts) and he was 2-1 with a 6.66 ERA and a 1.68 WHIP. The Royals shouldn’t miss him much as he never pitched too well for them.
