MLB Transactions- Mallex Smith, Bryan Shaw, Jimmy Yacabonis Elect Free Agency October 15, 2020Mariners outfielder Mallex Smith and right-handers Bryan Shaw and Jimmy Yacabonis have elected free agency, Greg Johns of MLB.com tweets. The Mariners outrighted all three players in September. Seattle had high hopes for Smith when it acquired him from Tampa Bay before 2019 in a deal that also involved catcher Mike Zunino, among others. The…
- Michael A. Taylor Clears Waivers, Elects Free Agency October 15, 2020Nationals outfielder Michael A. Taylor has cleared waivers and elected free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Fresno, per a team announcement. The 29-year-old was arbitration-eligible this winter but stood as a clear non-tender candidate on the heels of a rough 2020 season. The decision to pass him through waivers effectively am […]
- Reds Outright Four To Triple-A October 15, 2020The Reds outrighted four players to Triple-A on Wednesday, the team announced. Jesse Biddle, Matt Bowman, Matt Davidson, and Travis Jankowski all cleared waivers. Bowman had been on the 45-day IL, but not on the 40-man, so the Reds 40-man roster now has three open spots. Bowman is a 29-year-old right-hander originally claimed off waivers…
- Oliver Drake Elects Free Agency October 14, 2020Tampa Bay Rays reliever Oliver Drake has elected free agency, per MLB.com’s Juan Toribio (via Twitter). The Rays designated Drake for assignment after an injury forced him from their playoff roster. Though he’s obviously done for this season, the Rays could re-sign the much-traveled reliever, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times (via Twitter).…
- Nationals Outright James Bourque, Raudy Read October 13, 2020The Nationals announced that they have outrighted hurler James Bourque and catcher Raudy Read to Triple-A Fresno. They now have 34 players on their 40-man roster. The right-handed Bourque, a 14th-round pick of the Nationals in 2014, has been used sparingly in the majors so far. The 27-year-old debuted with the Nats in 2019 and…
- Braves Add Johan Camargo To NLCS Roster October 13, 2020The Braves have added infielder Johan Camargo to the NLCS roster, the team announced. Camargo will replace Adam Duvall, who suffered an oblique injury in yesterday’s Game 1. While Duvall’s injury would likely have sidelined him anyway, his removal from the NLCS roster means he is officially ineligible to play in the World Series should…
- Javy Guerra, Sam Freeman Elect Free Agency October 12, 2020The Nationals announced that relievers Javy Guerra and Sam Freeman have cleared outright waivers and elected free agency. After signing minor league contracts with the Nationals over the winter, neither the 34-year-old Guerra nor Freeman, 33, saw a ton of action with the club. Guerra threw 15 2/3 innings of 4.02 ERA/4.53 FIP ball and…
- Dodgers Announce NLCS Roster October 12, 2020The Dodgers have made a couple of changes to their 28-man roster ahead of the NLCS, per the team. Let’s check it out: Right-Handed Pitchers Pedro Báez Walker Buehler Dylan Floro Tony Gonsolin Brusdar Graterol Kenley Jansen Joe Kelly Dustin May Blake Treinen Left-Handed Pitchers Victor Gonzalez Clayton Kershaw Adam Kolarek Jake McGee Julio Urías…
- Rays Reinstate Jose Alvarado From Injured List, Designate Oliver Drake October 11, 2020The Rays have added left-hander Jose Alvarado to their roster for the ALCS, activating the southpaw from the 45-day injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports (Twitter link). To create roster space, right-hander Oliver Drake was designated for assignment. Alvarado last pitched on August 14, as inflammation in his throwing shoulder ended…
- Roenis Elías, Paolo Espino, Aaron Barrett Elect Free Agency October 10, 2020Roenis Elias, Paolo Espino, and Aaron Barrett have elected free agency. All three were outrighted by the Washington Nationals earlier this week, clearing waivers. Barrett in particular holds a semi-significant role in organizational lore, as the 6’3″ right-hander came back Tommy John surgery only to suffer a horrendous arm injury while rehabbing in a simulat […]
- Nationals Outright 4 Players October 9, 2020The Nationals announced that infielder Adrian Sanchez and three right-handers – Aaron Barrett, Austen Williams and Paolo Espino – have cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Fresno. Meanwhile, the club has reinstated catcher Tres Barrera from the restricted list. Washington now has 37 players on its 40-man roster. The 30-year-old Sanchez saw time in […]
- Joe Biagini Elects Free Agency October 9, 2020Right-hander Joe Biagini has rejected an outright assignment from the Astros in favor of free agency, the team announced to reporters (Twitter link via The Athletic’s Jake Kaplan). He was designated for assignment late last month. The move was all but a foregone conclusion after Biagini cleared waivers. Players with three-plus years of service time…
- Abraham Almonte Elects Free Agency October 9, 2020Outfielder Abraham Almonte has elected to become a free agent rather than accept an outright assignment from the Padres. Almonte was designated for assignment two days ago to create space for rookie southpaw Ryan Weathers to join San Diego’s NLDS roster. Signed to a minor league contract in the offseason, Almonte ended up appearing in…
- International Signings: 10/7/20 October 8, 2020A couple of notable international signings: The Pirates announced they have signed 19-year-old pitcher Po-Yu Chen. The Taiwanese righty will receive a $1.25MM signing bonus, reports Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Twitter link). Chen has evidently been on the organization’s radar for quite some time, with GM Ben Cherington noting the club has sc […]
- Hanwha Eagles Release Chad Bell October 7, 2020The KBO League’s Hanwha Eagles have placed left-hander Chad Bell on release waivers, according to Jeeho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency. Bell has spent the last two seasons pitching in South Korea, re-signing with the Eagles last November for a one-year, $900K contract. Bell earned that new deal after a strong 2019 season that…
