Minor Moves: McDade, Taylor, Lorin

By Jeff Todd | March 14, 2014 at 10:26pm CDT

Here are the day's minor moves, all via Matt Eddy of Baseball America unless otherwise noted:

  • First baseman Mike McDade has agreed to a minor league deal with the Blue Jays, tweets Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com. The 24-year-old had a tough run at Triple-A for the Indians and White Sox last year, slashing just .250/.313/.371 after posting superior on-base and slugging figures over his previous time in the upper minors. McDade will return to the organization with which he spent his first six years in professional baseball.
  • The Angels have released lefty Andrew Taylor, who was looking to work back after missing all of 2013, tweets Eddy. The 27-year-old saw a cup of coffee with the Halos back in 2012, but has spent most of his time in the upper minors in recent years. In 2012, he thre 59 innings of 4.27 ERA ball at Double-A and Triple-A, striking out 8.5 batters per nine innings while walking 3.8 per nine.
  • Towering Diamondbacks righty Brett Lorin has also been cut loose, Eddy tweets. The 26-year-old reached Triple-A for the first time last year, and posted a solid 2.96 ERA in 51 2/3 innings across the upper minors in 2013. Lorin came to the organization as a Rule 5 pick, and the team liked him well enough to work out a trade to keep him, but he never reached the bigs in Arizona.

    Interesting signing in terms of McDade. He had a couple of good years down at NH and was looking to hit his stride in LV but he was designated when they had to choose between him and Cooper. He’s still pretty young, had a down season last year but has a decent ceiling. What does everyone else think (if anything)?

    I actually really like this move! Had some solid years maybe he can make the jump and be that platoon partner with Lind!

    Good to see McDade back in the fold, always wish the best for him.

    Does anyone know why McDade is listed as a pitcher on the Jay’s site?
