Here are today’s minor transactions from around the league.
- The Orioles have announced that they’re released outfielder Travis Snider, who they designated for assignment last week. When the O’s acquired Snider from the Pirates for a pair of pitching prospects last winter, there was hope that he would provide a bit of left-handed power. He was mostly a disappointment in Baltimore, however, batting .237/.318/.341. He has another year of team control remaining after this one, but his $2.1MM 2015 salary likely made a waiver claim an unattractive proposition.
1.1 WAR in 69 games –> Gets released.
How long until he gets picked up by a contender who needs some bench help?
LH OF bench bat with pop, at league minimum, be on a team before Sept 1.
I get it he hasn’t met expectations but still we need all the outfielders we can get
So many Felicia’s to wish good riddance to in Bmore this year. This guy is a bum, always has been and always will be.
