Trenton >> Hours after Jared Mitchell belted a walk-off home run in the 11th inning on Tuesday night, Thunder manager Bobby Mitchell had to deliver the bad news.

Mitchell had been released by the Yankees.

Calling it the hardest thing he's ever had to do, the first-year skipper informed the outfielder on Wednesday morning after he got permission from the organization to do it then rather than after Tuesday night's game.

"It just gives me goosebumps thinking about it because it was like the worst," Bobby Mitchell said after the Thunder's 2-0 win over Richmond on Wednesday morning. "It's just part of baseball. I always hate having to do it, but it's part of my job. It was supposed to be done (Tuesday) night after the game and there was no way I could do it after the game. I was not going to ruin his celebration."




I was really hoping he could stick somewhere and get a shot in the league. Tried to create a link but, can't for some reason

He was right on the cusp until that injury with the White Sox. Damn.

Can they not make use of his speed and perfect V shaped upper body?

Sucks. But strangely awesome that he hit a walkoff homer on his last at bat.

I was hoping he would make it in the MLB one day. That sucks.

I'll never forget the game at Auburn where he scored on a sac fly to center field............from second base.

I knew a guy who got released right after throwing a complete game shutout. That was a bad day.

hasn't hit since his first year in the minors, then then he has been .250 or below each year.
