Castoff Dodgers bullpen arm outrighted by Twins after historically awful season

There's been no shortage of bullpen arms that the Los Angeles Dodgers have used this season, as they have had a laundry list of relievers on the IL this year, and one of those arms was 28-year-old Noah Davis. After serving as an up-and-down arm for the Colorado Rockies over the last three years, Davis had a brief run with the Dodgers earlier this season.

It may have been brief, but it wasn't a forgettable run, as Davis had an ERA of 19.50 in six innings pitched with the Dodgers. It was Davis' appearance against the Houston Astros on July 4 that comes to mind when thinking about how awful he has been at the Major League level. Davis was essentially pitching batting practice to the Astros that day, tagged for 10 runs on six hits and three walks.

Davis was so bad that even the Dodgers, with their constant need in the bullpen, didn't waste time shipping him to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for cash considerations. The Twins decimated their bullpen at the MLB trade deadline and turned to Davis as one of the arms to get them to the end of the season.

As the Dodgers found out, the Twins quickly realized that Davis shouldn't be at the Major League level. In each of his five appearances out of the Twins' bullpen over the last month, Davis has allowed at least two runs, resulting in an ERA of 16.20 during his brief time in Minnesota. Davis has since been outrighted by the Twins, but not without making history first.

After his awful runs with the Dodgers and Twins this season, Davis' career ERA has ballooned to 9.53. Of pitchers who have at least 60 career innings pitched, it's the worst ERA anyone has had since 1890. Needless to say, the Twins, or any other team for that matter, likely won't be racing to give Davis another look at the Major League level anytime soon.
