Sometimes, enough is enough.
The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired 26-year-old first baseman Jon Fredrico from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for RHP Zach Showalter and left-handed Magdiel Cotto.
Fredrico has spent most of the season at AAA Gwinett, where in five games he has hit .273 with two home runs and six RBIs.
He also got his first chance to play in the majors, getting in nine games/just one start with the Braves.
In those games, he hit .143 with no homers or RBIs.
A season after posting the best ERA in the National League (3.06), the 2033 campaign has been a complete reversal for the 29-year-old Showalter.
In 14 games/13 starts, he is 4-6 with a 5.81 ERA.
Regulated to the bullpen, in his only appearance as a reliever he allowed two runs on four hits in just 1.1 innings.
His last start before being demoted to the bullpen last an inning, as he allowed four runs on seven hits.
A free agent after the season, it just seemed best to cut ties now.
Taken off the waiver wire after being released by the Phillies.
Cotto, 30, was garbage in his short time with the Cardinals.
In nine appearances, covering 7.2 innings, he allowed 16 hits, 13 earned runs, three home runs, walked seven, struck out two.
His record was 0-2 with a 15.26 ERA.
Good riddance.
