Minor MLB Transactions: 12/19/16

By Jeff Todd | December 19, 2016 at 11:06pm CDT

Here are the day’s minor moves:

  • The Tigers have a minor-league deal with infielder Brendan Ryan, per Jon Heyman of Fan Rag (via Twitter). The 34-year-old can earn $625K in the big leagues. Once a slick-fielding, semi-regular shortstop with the Cardinals and Mariners, Ryan has received just 241 MLB plate appearances over the past three seasons, slashing just .188/.231/.251 in that span. He spent the bulk of 2016 at the Triple-A level in the Nationals and Angels organizations.
  • Outfielder Shane Peterson is headed to the Rays on a minors pact, per Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter link). Peterson, 28, hit .259/.324/.353 in a 226 plate appearance stint with the Brewers in 2015, his first real crack at the big leagues, after showing well at Triple-A that year. An arm injury limited the left-handed hitter to just 15 games in 2016, but he did continue to hit well when he was on the field. All told, the former second-round pick owns a productive .298/.385/.468 slash across 1,775 plate appearances at the highest level of the minors.

    I don’t care about the signing of Ryan, I just love this header. It’s amazing.

      Thank you. I will look into these.

      I know we already covered Klein and Brasier, though Klein’s destination wasn’t clear so that may need updating. And we’ll probably wait to see if Ohlendorf is officially signed. Don’t think Candelario would quite make it onto the radar for us.

        No problem, just glad to provide added information about players heading overseas.

      apparently he and his ~ $2.5 million salary might be too expensive for the Tigers

    Are we really hurting that bad in the minors?
    They obviously aren’t playing in the D.
    Over the hill and others that never made it to the bigs.
