Minor Moves: Morris, Barney, Wilson

By Mark Polishuk | June 14, 2015 at 7:35pm CDT

Here are today’s minor moves from around baseball, with the newest transactions at the top of the post…

  • The Mets are calling up right-hander Akeel Morris from Single-A St. Lucie, the club announced, and the 22-year-old will be activated before tomorrow’s game against the Blue Jays.  Morris was a 10th-round draft pick in 2010 and has never pitched above the high-A level — his only high-A experience comes in 31 relief innings for St. Lucie this season.  That said, Morris has been a dominant bullpen arm, posting a 1.74 ERA, 12.8 K/9 and 3.14 K/BB rate this year and recording 12 saves.  The 2015 Baseball America Prospect Handbook ranked Morris as the 19th-best prospect in the Mets’ system before the season, noting his plus changeup and a 92-94mph fastball.
  • The Dodgers have outrighted infielder Darwin Barney to Triple-A, according to MLB.com’s official transactions page.  Barney was designated for assignment on Friday to create 40-man roster space for the newly-acquired Ronald Torreyes.  Barney has only appeared in two big league games in 2015, and he has struggled to a .214/.273/.259 slash line over 121 Triple-A plate appearances.
  • Also from the MLB.com transactions listing, the Rays outrighted catcher Bobby Wilson to Triple-A Durham.  Wilson has a .349 OPS over 59 PA with the Rays this season and was designated for assignment on Thursday.
  • Now that Barney and Wilson have been outrighted, that leaves six players in “limbo,” as per the MLB Trade Rumors DFA Tracker.  Trevor Cahill (Braves), Matt Dominguez (Astros), Erik Kratz (Royals), J.C. Ramirez (Diamondbacks), Tim Stauffer (Twins), and Rickie Weeks (Mariners) are all awaiting their next assignment.

    Mets have a trade in the works?

      Unlikely. They need a fresh RP for the Jays series. Morris is already on the 40 man. Black in unavailable.

        True. Who are they sending out? Aren’t they already at an 8 man pen?

          Best guess is they DFA Kirk and try to pass him through waivers. That would be a mighty big bullpen, but playing on Toronto they can use the DH and dont need to pinch hit as much. Just a guess though, they have yet to announce a corresponding move.

            They’re playing at home, no DH.

          Could be Leathersich.

        Their pen has been gassed between an extra inning game yesterday and an awful performance by Dillon Gee today.
        I imagine that Eric Campbell is being sent down for the time being, although that takes away their infield depth.
