Minor MLB Transactions: 4/19/16

By Jeff Todd | April 19, 2016 at 4:21pm CDT

Here are the day’s minor moves:

  • The Tigers announced that they have signed veteran catcher Humberto Quintero to a minor league contract and will assign him to Triple-A Toledo. The 36-year-old,  who was released by the Blue Jays earlier this week, will step into the Triple-A roster spot that was vacated when the Tigers summoned Bobby Wilson to fill in for the injured James McCann. Quintero briefly saw the Majors in 2014, but his last significant big league action came in 2013 with the Mariners and Phillies. Quintero is a veteran of 12 big league seasons and has a lifetime .234/.267/.327 batting line in 1423 trips to the plate. Quintero is repped by Octagon.

Earlier Updates

  • The White Sox have inked righty John Holdzkom to a minor league deal, as Robert Murray of Baseball Essential reported on Twitter. The towering 28-year-old, a client of the Ballengee Group, was designated for assignment and subsequently released by the Pirates earlier this season. Holdzkom came out of nowhere in 2014 with Pittsburgh, dominating at Triple-A and then allowing just two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out 14 opposing batters in nine MLB innings. But he struggled with his control at the highest level of the minors last year while battling through injuries and a loss of velocity. Chicago will hope that Holdzkom can get back on track and re-discover the mid-90s heater that made him such an intriguing independent ball find for the Bucs.

    Welcome to another mistake given by the sox brain trust. They got nothing right. I never tout I’d want Flowers back as catcher. Navarros hittin .050. Way to go Williams and Hahn. And now we also have LaFrazier too.

        I’m not sure I’d agree with you that Frazier is a “star” third baseman (he’s maybe top 10 at the position for me), but you have to ignore everything this guy says. He’s a bitter fan who bashes every move made by the White Sox or the Browns, so just ignore his complaints

    Bummer. I was hoping that the Bucs would be able to resign John to a minor league deal themselves. May turn out to be a good signing for the Sox. Not much to lose when you have a guy that could throw 95-100 before he had injury issues and can sign him cheap. If he can right the ship, good deal. If he ends up still having issues, nothing much lost.

    Holdzkom is a very good under the radar move. Maybe if he’s fully healthy he’ll turn into a good mrp. If not he’s someone who can eat up some minor league innings out of the pen. Very low risk high reward.
