Playing career

Miguel Socolovich signed with the Boston Red Sox as an international free agent in 2004,[1] but did not join the organization until 2006. He spent the rest of the season playing for the Gulf Coast League Red Sox. Socolovich moved up to Single-A the following year, playing for the Lowell Spinners and later the Greenville Drive.[2]

On January 28, 2008, the Red Sox traded Socolovich and fellow pitching prospect Willy Mota to the Chicago White Sox for David Aardsma.[3] Socolovich would spend the next four seasons playing in the White Sox organization, taking the field for the Single-A Kannapolis Intimidators and Winston-Salem Dash, Double-A Birmingham Barons, and the Triple-A Charlotte Knights during that time.[2] After the 2011 season, he became a free agent and on January 30, 2012, he signed a minor league contract with the Baltimore Orioles.[4]

He began the 2012 season playing in Triple-A with the Norfolk Tides[2] before earning his first call-up to the major leagues on July 14. At the time of his call-up, he had a 1.95 earned run average in 24 games with Norfolk.[5] He made six appearances with the Orioles before being designated for assignment on August 14.[6] He recorded a 6.97 ERA in 10.1 innings during his time in Baltimore. On August 23, 2012, Socolovich was claimed off waivers by the Chicago Cubs.[7] On November 15, 2012, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp agreed to terms with Socolovich to bring him to Japan.[8] On November 21, 2013, Socolovich signed a minor league contract with the New York Mets.[9]

He joined the St. Louis Cardinals organization on November 12, 2014.[10] The Cardinals called him up for the first time in 2015 on April 30.[11] The Cardinals recalled him from Memphis on September 2, where he posted a 2.48 ERA and an .165 opponent average and 0.92 WHIP in ​32 2⁄3 IP for the season. Through that point in 2015, he had posted a 1.54 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP and .205 opponent average in ​23 1⁄3 IP for the Cardinals.[12]
