Analysis:
John Axford, Wilin Rosario and Rex Brothers were also cleared to make room for four young players that needed to be protected from the Rule 5 draft. Kahnle was given an audition in the closer role in August, but he allowed nine runs in three appearances to lose the job after less than two weeks. The right-hander finished with a 4.86 ERA and 1.77 WHIP.
