Ian Clarkin: Cut loose by San Diego

The Padres released Clarkin last week, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

One of a slew of minor-league players cut by San Diego, Clarkin was expected to open the 2020 campaign at Double-A Amarillo before the COVID-19 pandemic put the season on hiatus. The 25-year-old lefty has yet to advance past the Double-A level since being selected by the Yankees in the first round of the 2013 first-year player draft.
