Dodgers Sign Steve Geltz To Minor League Deal

By charliewilmoth | January 7, 2017 at 2:29pm CDT

The Dodgers have signed righty reliever Steve Geltz to a minor league deal, Matt Eddy of Baseball America writes. The Brewers had claimed Geltz from the Rays earlier in the offseason, but he became a free agent once they outrighted him last month.

The 29-year-old Geltz pitched 102 1/3 innings for the Rays over the last three seasons, posting a 4.22 ERA, 8.6 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9. He’s always been an extreme fly ball pitcher, though, and those fly ball tendencies became a significant problem for him last season, when he allowed a staggering 11 home runs in 26 2/3 innings and was repeatedly demoted to Triple-A Durham. His more successful showing in 2015 (when he had a 3.74 ERA over 67 1/3 frames) perhaps demonstrates his upside under better circumstances, though, so it’s possible he could reemerge at some point as a big-league middle reliever. If he does, he comes with up to five more seasons of control remaining, including two pre-arbitration years.

    I was wondering when the Dodgers were going to start signing some bullpen depth…not a huge splash but at least it’s something

      I would’ve brought back Withrow on a minor league deal. Think that may turn out to be a good move for the Royals.

    Does he have a pulse?

      Apparently. Although I haven’t checked personally.

    The huge splash (or no splash) was supposed to happen at the end of this weekend with Brian Dozier, anyone hear any news on that? Also, Josh Fields, what’s going on with him? His stats don’t look great, but then I’ve read articles talking about him having a lot of potential. Can anyone tell me about him?

      My money goes on Dozier stays with the Twins.

        If the Twins don’t trade him that’ll rank as the 3rd dumbest move after signing Mauer and Perkins. There’s a reason they only won 59 games last year.

      Fields has good stuff. He was a rare first round draft pick as a reliever who was supposed to move quickly. But for whatever reason he stalled out. He’s probably a low-leverage middle reliever at this point.

    And there it is! Put a bow on the NL West folks. Dodgers just wrapped it up for 2017! Lol

    The only splash Geltz will make is the bombs Stanton and co. hit into the pool off him if he makes the big league roster.

      What pool would Stanton be hitting home runs? I’m guessing your referring to that dipsh…..dumb pool in d-bags right field?

    But does he draw rave reviews?

    So, I’m guessing now that the acquisition of Wilson before this signing may pair these two up.
    Ages are within range. Both needing to rebuild their status.
    Lets see if it works
