Minor Moves: Fossum, Johnson, Wells, Buschmann

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | April 16, 2012 at 7:25pm CDT

We'll keep track of today's minor moves right here…

  • The Orioles released left-hander Casey Fossum and catcher Josh Johnson, tweets Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com.  Both players were at Baltimore's extended Spring Training camp on minor league contracts.
  • The White Sox have parted ways with Kip Wells, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune tweets. The White Sox had signed the right-hander to a minor league deal ten days ago.
  • The Rays acquired right-hander Matt Buschmann from the Nationals for cash and assigned their new acquisition to Double-A, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times tweets. The 28-year-old posted a 6.16 ERA with 6.2 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 in 134 1/3 innings with the Padres' top affiliates last year. Buschmann has started 116 minor league games in six pro seasons.

    I sure hope Matt Buschmann fairs better than Matt Bush.

    What does “parted ways with” mean, exactly? Did they release him?

       it was a mutual agreement. he agreed to quit pitching for them if they’d agree to quit paying him.

    I saw Buschmann in the Mexican Winter League, and he was N-A-S-T-Y!
