The Cardinals have signed former Atlanta Braves left-handed reliever Royce Ring.

We had designated him for assignment on August 2nd of last year. That essentially ends the whole Will Ledezma/Will Startup -- Macay McBride trade haul. Poor Royce was used weirdly by Cox last year. I thought he had more than Cox let him show. We used Ohman all the time, but didn't want to use Ring at all. Maybe it's just me, but I thought he had more to offer than we got out of him.

Waddayaknow, it seems as though the Washington Nationals have signed Wil Ledezma. All of our former lefties are signing this week, could Will Ohman be far behind?
