Jason Tyner Rumors

Minor League Transactions

Baseball America released this week's set of minor league transactions, and there was plenty of interesting movement. Let's break it down. The Indians signed reliever Mike Gosling to a minor league pact. The Twins released Gosling earlier this month. He last pitched in the big leagues for the Reds in 2007. The Tigers released Jason Tyner. You probably remember that the Brewers traded Tyner to the Tigers back in April for literally nothing. Marlins youngster Cameron Maybin was suspended for "aggressively arguing a call and bumping an umpire." The Astros removed Geoff Geary from the 40-man roster and outrighted him...   Continue Reading

Tigers Acquire Jason Tyner

According to Jon Paul Morosi of the Detroit Free Press, the Tigers acquired Jason Tyner from the Brewers today. Tyner, 32, will report to the Tigers' AAA club in Toledo to fill the spot of Ryan Raburn, who was promoted to the big league club today. Strangely, Morosi writes that there were no other players or cash involved in the deal; Tigers Director of Minor League Operations Dan Lunetta says the Brewers simply assigned his contract to the Tigers organization. Tyner has appeared with four Major League clubs, including two others in the AL Central - the Twins and Indians.   Continue Reading

Brewers Ink Tyner, Will Dump Gwynn Jr.

11:00pm: Gwynn has been placed on waivers. 2:24pm: Brewers GM Doug Melvin told Haudricourt that there will be an announcement concerning Gwynn Jr. on Friday. It appears he will be placed on waivers. 1:33pm: According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Brewers have signed outfielder Jason Tyner to their Triple-A Nashville roster. Tyner, 31, has spent time in the majors with the Mets, Rays, Twins and Indians. He spent all of last year in Triple-A, where he hit .248 with 12 doubles, a homer and 18 RBI in just over 300 at-bats. Haudricourt surmises that this signing...   Continue Reading

Odds and Ends: Hanley, Salcedo, Torrealba

Time to round 'em up... Rob Neyer guesses B.J. Upton is the next to get a long-term deal from the Rays. Back on April 24th, Jayson Stark wrote that the Upton family "has its own ideas about the market value of both brothers." Expect a Hanley Ramirez press conference today, or this weekend at the latest. Tribe Report walks us through the Edward Salcedo confusion. Yorvit Torrealba's agent has filed a grievance against the Mets over their nearly-signed three-year deal. Jon Heyman says nothing's imminent with Ken Griffey Jr. Buster Olney wrote today that the Mariners are "not especially gung-ho"...   Continue Reading

Today's Non-tenders: Towers, Prior, Everett, Durbin

Tim's out for the night, so we've got a fresh post started for the non-tenders. MLB.com has a running list as well. These guys are the officials as of now: As expected, the Marlins non-tendered catcher Miguel Olivo. Johnny Estrada was another casualty; these two make up the market for starting catchers. The Blue Jays non-tendered Josh Towers, a surprising move. Some NL team could offer him two years and get league average work out of him. Mark Prior has been non-tendered. Honestly if I were the Cubs, I would've tossed the $3.5MM his way just to see. Aaron Miles..   Continue Reading

Odds and Ends: Mench, Kent, Durbin, Wang

Rounding up this morning's Odds and Ends, to be updated periodically... The Pirates are talking to the Tigers about acquiring Chad Durbin. The arbitration-eligible Durbin doesn't have a place in Detroit's rotation, but could be useful for the Bucs. Chien-Ming Wang would like a three or four-year deal with the Yanks. The Phillies will pass on Kevin Mench, though they've still got their eye on Nate McLouth. The Royals' disinterest in Mench was noted yesterday. We've assumed it for a while, but Jeff Kent playing in 2008 is now official. The Twins may have non-tendered Jason Tyner   Continue Reading
