Minor MLB Transactions: 11/3/16

By charliewilmoth | November 3, 2016 at 8:34pm CDT

Here’s a collection of minor moves from around the game, to add to the long list of outrights we posted earlier:

  • The Braves have signed righty Danny Reynolds to a minor league deal, tweets MLBTR’s Zach Links. Reynolds struggled with Double-A Arkansas in the Angels’ system in 2016, with a 5.61 ERA, 8.3 K/9 and 6.4 BB/9 over 33 2/3 innings. The 25-year-old was released in June and wound up in independent ball. Most reports offer praise for his velocity, however, and his stuff was interesting enough that he went from the Angels to the Dodgers to the Astros and back to the Angels in a four-month series of waiver claims starting last December, so the Braves might hope he provides a bit of upside than the typical organizational player.
  • Mariners catcher Steve Clevenger has elected to become a free agent, SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo tweets. The M’s announced yesterday that they had outrighted Clevenger. The 30-year-old hit .221/.303/.309 while playing sparingly in the big leagues last season. He missed time to an elbow injury, then was suspended by the team following a pair of offensive tweets.
  • The Rangers have announced that they’ve selected the contract of IF/OF Drew Robinson, preventing him from becoming a minor league free agent. The 24-year-old had a solid season with Triple-A Round Rock in 2016, batting .257/.350/.480 with 20 home runs in 539 plate appearances. Robinson has struck out in more than a quarter of his career minor league plate appearances and typically doesn’t hit for good averages, but his walk-heavy offensive game has been resilient as he’s moved through the Rangers’ system, and his ability to play six positions (first, second, third and all three outfield spots) could help make him useful at the big-league level.

    Are we allowed to comment on this one? Not that there’s really much to say anyways.

      Except if he wouldn’t have made the post he wouldn’t have been with the team next year anyway. So it really didn’t matter.

      What exactly is the definition of a “pansy” team?

        Any team who doesn’t like mediocre or worse players who send racist or offensive tweets.

        Any team that doesn’t side with criminals and looters, or those that can’t follow simple instruction. A team that doesn’t cave to narrow minded PC people that find everything racist.

        That being said if this were Felix Hernandez or Cano…or the Angels with Trout this wouldn’t have played out like this which makes it even more of a joke.

        Clevenger was going to be released at the end of the year regardless of what he said or did. He’s a org filler catcher and likely will sign with some team and be forgotten about.

        He isn’t the first to have people deem something he posted on social media to be offensive and he won’t be the last.

    Meh. I doubt any team is looking to hire a vile racist. Probably ruins clubhouse chemistry.

    Drew Robinson seems like the kind of guy they could have left unprotected. No way a team keeps him in their MLB team all year.

      Robinson would’ve actually became a free agent. This decision wasn’t made based off of the Rule 5 Draft.

    Wouldn’t Clevenger have been in line for a non-tender payday from the M’s? Not sure exactly how that works, why would he turn that down?

    I like the Danny Reynolds signing. His K:BB numbers in Indy…….INSANE!! 15.2 K/9 to 1.7 BB/9.
    Also, Clevenger will always be the guy who got traded for Mark Trumbo to me.
