Today’s minor moves..
- The Cardinals have signed Clay Zavada to a minor league contract and released left-hander R.J. Swindle, according to the Pacific Coast League’s transactions page. Zavada, 27, was recently let go by the Reds.
- Cubs infielder Blake DeWitt cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Iowa, tweets Carrie Muskat of MLB.com. The Cubs designated the 26-year-old for assignment ten days ago. Across parts of five big league seasons, DeWitt owns a .257/.324/.380 slash line.
- The Diamondbacks outrighted minor league outfielder David Winfree to remove him from the 40-man roster, tweets Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. Winfree, 26, has hit .285/.331/.476 in four Triple-A seasons.
Why remove Winfree? Drew’s not ready to back yet? Is he?
No, he’s not. Probably still a month, maybe more. Another move on the horizon?
He’s about to start rehab. Maybe a week or two but not a month
Cardinals should try and sign DeWitt
You mean the one from Three’s Company?
Blake is at his DeWitt’s end over his demotion
Take him!
Drew is FAR more than a week or two away. Young is back sooner, barring incident. Direct from Kirk Gibson’s mouth.
Memphis is a great place to see a Zavada moustache!
Test
I’m pretty sure he shaved it
I just don’t understand how DeWitt has cleared waivers twice now. As far as second basemen go, you can do a lot worse. Just with Philly alone he is better and younger then Luna and Orr. He must have a super contagious disease or something.
