Minor MLB Transactions: 12/3/16

By Jeff Todd | December 3, 2016 at 7:22pm CDT

Here are the day’s minor moves:

  • Free agent right-hander Parker Markel has agreed to terms with a team in Asia, reports Zach Links of Pro Football Rumors and MLBTR (Twitter link). The 26-year-old performed well in 2016 with a 2.52 ERA, 6.97 K/9 and 3.56 BB/9 in 60 2/3 innings as a member of the Rays’ Triple-A affiliate in Durham. Between going to the Rays in the 39th round of the 2010 draft and heading to Asia, Markel posted a 3.99 ERA, 7.3 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 across 197 minor league appearances (54 starts) and 466 1/3 frames.
  • The Angels have added lefty John Lamb and catcher Tony Sanchez on minor-league deals, per Matt Eddy of Baseball America (via Twitter). A top prospect not long ago, Lamb has changed hands a few times this winter as he has continued to deal with injury issues. Sanchez also has quite a prospect pedigree, but has failed to gain traction in the upper minors.
  • Recently acquired righty Ryan Weber was outrighted to Triple-A by the Mariners, per a club announcement. Added through a waiver claim from the Braves, the 26-year-old lost his 40-man spot when Seattle acquired two other former Atlanta hurlers. Weber’s quality upper-minors numbers have yet to translate to the majors, where he owns a 5.15 ERA over 64 2/3 innings over the past two seasons.
  • The Brewers outrighted righties Steve Geltz and David Goforth, the team announced. Geltz had just been claimed off waivers, so perhaps Milwaukee will hope he clears and can be stashed. The 29-year-old struggled to a 5.74 ERA in his 26 2/3 major league frames in 2016, but was much better in prior years and also showed well at Triple-A. While Goforth had a solid debut year in 2015, he scuffled in both the majors and at Triple-A in his most recent campaign.

    Yomiuri Giants have been reported to have reached an agreement with free agent infielder Casey McGehee, an official announcement will soon be released showing his contract details (via: https://thepage.jp/detail/20161201-00000003-wordleafs). Just in case someone might ask, Casey McGehee’s name is at the very bottom of that box in the provided link.

    Tony Sanchez AKA the guy the Pirates reached for because they drafted Daniel Moskos, a RELIEVER with the #4 overall pick over Matt Wieters a few years earlier instead of drafting Mike Trout.

    Good times.

      To be fair, about 20 teams passed on Mike Trout. He wasn’t heavily scouted because he played in the northeast.

        Nah. Trout just didn’t play enough for teams to get a true measure of his value. Wieters was asking for a lot though.

    Not that it makes much difference but Markel’s K/9 was actually 7.34 and his BB/9 was 3.29.

      Nevermind, you only showed his AAA rates. My mistake.

    I’m rather curious where Parker Merkel will end up in Asia, no news yet on the Japan and South Korean side though… Taiwan perhaps?
