- Twins Outright Gregorio Petit October 12, 2018The Twins have outrighted infielder Gregorio Petit off the 40-man roster, per the Triple-A International League transactions page.

- Reds Claim Juan Graterol October 10, 2018The Reds announced Wednesday that they’ve claimed catcher Juan Graterol off waivers from the Twins after he’d been placed on outright waivers. Cincinnati already had a pair of open 40-man roster spots, so not corresponding move is necessary. Graterol, 29, only appeared in three games with the Twins after having his contract selected in late…
- Diamondbacks Outright Patrick Kivlehan October 10, 2018The Diamondbacks announced today that they have outrighted outfielder Patrick Kivlehan to Triple-A.

- Brad Ziegler Announces Retirement October 10, 2018Veteran reliever Brad Ziegler has announced his retirement from the game of baseball (Twitter link). The submariner, who chose the occasion of his 39th birthday to spread the news, has appeared in 11 MLB seasons and compiled over seven hundred innings on the hill.

- Minor MLB Transactions: 10/10/18 October 10, 2018We’ll use this post to track the day’s minor moves from around the game … The Blue Jays have outrighted infielder/outfielder Jon Berti after he cleared waivers, per the MLB.com transactions page. Added to the roster quite late in the season after eight years as a minor-leaguer, Berti never figured to hold a 40-man spot throughout…
- Players Electing Free Agency October 9, 2018Quite a few players will hit the open market this fall, and they’ll do so by way of varying mechanisms. The end of the regular season triggered a recent wave of free agents, consisting of a certain subset of players — namely, those who were outrighted from 40-man rosters during the season and accepted minor-league…
- Minor MLB Transactions: 10/8/18 October 8, 2018We’ll track the day’s minor moves in this post: The Brewers have released right-hander Hiram Burgos, per Matt Eddy of Baseball America. The 31-year-old debuted in the majors in Milwaukee back in 2013, but hasn’t been back since. Now 31 years of age, Burgos will presumably end up with another organization for the first time in his…

- Pirates Outright Nik Turley October 5, 2018The Pirates have outrighted left-hander Nik Turley off the 40-man roster, per John Dreker of PiratesProspects.com. He’ll presumably become a minor league free agent. The 29-year-old Turley was claimed off waivers from the Twins last November.
