Today's minor moves…
- Jared Burton elected free agency, according to MLB.com's Mark Sheldon (on Twitter). The 30-year-old right-hander showed promise out of the 'pen in 2007-08, but has appeared in just ten MLB games since 2010. He spent time on the 60-day DL with shoulder inflammation in 2011.
- The Padres signed 16-year-old outfielder Franmil Reyes out of the Dominican Republic for $700K, tweets MLB.com's Corey Brock. Baseball America's Ben Badler has more on Reyes.
- The Pirates announced they've signed reliever Tim Wood to a minor league deal. The 28-year-old had eight big league innings for the Bucs this year, and posted a 3.49 ERA, 6.2 K/9, 2.8 BB/9, 0.4 HR/9, and 24 saves in 49 Triple-A relief innings for the Pirates and Rangers.
Yes, but do the Pirates know how to use their Wood properly?
hallelujah the bucs are saved!!!
Geez somebody in the Bucs organization has wood for Wood. They keep bringing this guy back.
Franmil..
$700K for a 16 year old? No wonder so many do steroids in the DR..
Franmil is Ginormous. I am not sure he can play the OF if he continues to grow and fill out. 16 (hopefully) lol 6’4″. wow.
