Minor MLB Transactions: 3/24/16

By Mark Polishuk | March 24, 2016 at 1:13pm CDT

Here are some minor moves from around baseball over the last week…

  • The White Sox signed righty Chris Volstad to a minor league contract, Baseball America’s Matt Eddy reports.  The move comes less than two weeks after Volstad was released from his previous minors deal with the Braves.  Volstad was an innings-eating rotation arm for the Marlins and Cubs from 2009-12 but he’s pitched just 10 1/3 big league frames since then, bouncing between five different MLB clubs and a stint in the Korea Baseball Organization.
  • The Marlins released righty Preston Claiborne, as per the team’s official MLB.com transactions page.  Miami took Claiborne off waivers from the Yankees last winter but he missed the entire season with a shoulder injury.  Claiborne posted a 3.79 ERA, 7.3 K/9 and 2.42 K/BB rate over 71 1/3 innings out of the Yankees bullpen in 2013-14.
  • The Reds released southpaw Jonathan Sanchez, as per the team’s Twitter feed.  Sanchez was a staple in the Giants rotation from 2008-10, tossing a no-hitter in 2009 and helping the team win the World Series in 2010.  He had control problems even at his peak, however, and he posted an 8.73 ERA, 63 walks and 60 strikeouts over 78 1/3 innings in 2012-13, which was his last taste of MLB action.

      LOL 3.79 ERA in 2 years is HORRIBLE.
      HOMER Red Sox relievers last year had a combined ERA of 4.31. If Claiborne was that awful what is it you call the Red Sox pitchers ERA then?

        By no means do I agree with Papi that caliborne was god awful but against the sox he wasnt his best, Besides one or two scoreless outings he gave up 9 earned runs in a handful of appearances against them in I believe 7.2 innings total, not a big sample size but the sox did hit him pretty well in that span

      Huh? A 3.79 ERA isn’t horrible. Especially since he was a rookie. So either you don’t really remember him at all or you only remember one bad outing of his

        He actually dont remember anything smart is all his problem is. He think only Red Sox players are good and if it is a EX Red Sox player they are a EX cause they now suck. He hates the Yankees so anything to do with the Yankees is horrible and they all suck in his eyes. Just a homer he is. Real fans call it LOW IQ.

      Serious question though… Do you think Yogi Berra was terrible?

      You’re right. In 7.2 innings vs your Sox, he allowed 19 hits, 11 runs and 3 homers. If everyone would just stop getting so mad at you they’d see that your insight is spot on.

    Please I beg you. Enough with the my sox my sox my sox. We get it. We really do. You’re a Sox fan but constantly mentioning my sox on 99% of the posts on here is ridiculous and annoying.
