The St. Louis Cardinals recently designated former elite prospect Jose Barrero to make room for Garrett Hampson who was claimed from the Cincinnati Reds. Barrero appeared in 22 games for the Cardinals this season and slashed .138/.194/.276 with one homer and three RBIs. The Cardinals opted to designate him for assignment, though. It was shared that he went unclaimed and MLB Trade Rumors’ Steve Adams reported that the club tried to outright him to the minors but Barrero refused the assignment and now is looking for a new opportunity.
