Minor MLB Transactions: 1/6/17

By Steve Adams | January 6, 2017 at 9:00am CDT

Here are the day’s minor moves from around the league…

  • Right-hander Zach Stewart has agreed to a minor league deal with the Orioles, writes Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com (the news was first reported by Korean media outlet Naver Sports — hat tip to Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net). Once a well-regarded pitching prospect in the Reds organization, the 30-year-old Stewart is now a well-traveled veteran who will hope to return to the Majors for the first time since 2012 this coming season. He’s spent the past two years with the NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization and reportedly drew interest from the KBO’s Hanwha Eagles before agreeing to the deal with Baltimore. Stewart logged a 3.76 ERA with 217 strikeouts against 80 walks in 260 2/3 innings across the past two seasons in the KBO and has a career 4.08 ERA in parts of six Triple-A seasons. He’s also totaled 103 big league innings but struggled to a 6.82 ERA with 5.6 K/9 against 1.9 BB/9 in that time.

    Man I tell you what…we got the minor move game ON LOCK! Nobody can touch the O’s when it comes to former highly rated prospects, 50 game suspended former catchers that can’t play any position anymore and pitchers that haven’t pitched in the majors in nearly 10 years. Our 4A depth is the truth!!

    And when it comes to window shopping…..BRO……We have interest in everybody but only a chosen few are worthy of signing. Nobody and I mean nobody does the offseason like our savior Dan Duquette!

      I don’t think it’s possible to say it any better.

      Apparently you don’t watch baseball or you would’ve realize that last year the Orioles made it to the playoffs

        You don’t have to watch baseball to know duquette has had a shaky reputation the past couple of years in FA. Giving up 1st rounders for Jimenez and Gallardo. Ignoring obvious holes and filling them with trash (wright, rickard, Wilson) and bidding against himself when he overpaid for Davis

    The Orioles farm system doesn’t get rave reviews

      If you go look at all the playoff teams they generally don’t have a stocked minor-league system because that’s what it cost them to win

    Guessing Stewart is the new Vanimal….but still hope O’s re-sign Vance Worley as bullpen longman/possible 5th starter.

    I think the Orioles are going to battle the Rays for last place in the AL East this year
