Here are the day’s minor moves from around the league…
- Former big league right-hander Donovan Hand tweeted that he’s signed a minor league contract with the Mets earlier this week. The 30-year-old tossed 68 1/3 innings of 3.69 ERA ball with the Brewers back in 2013 and saw another brief stint in the Majors with the Reds in 2015. More recently, Hand spent the 2016 season pitching professionally in Taiwan as well as in the independent Atlantic League back in the States. The former 14th-round pick seems likely to open the season with the Mets’ Triple-A affiliate, where he’ll serve as a depth option. In 372 1/3 innings of work in Triple-A, Hand has a 4.38 ERA with 6.2 K/9 against 2.3 BB/9.
Steve. Are you expecting more stories regarding minor MLB transactions?
Donovan might be able to lend a Hand to the big-league bullpen.
I’ve heard he is pretty mellow.
Quite rightly
He throws a banana ball that is electric.
Huh what does that mean
Singer Donovan sang a hit song called Mellow Yellow, with mellow yellow being an “electrical banana” (yeah, a dildo)
…and stop ruining jokes by needing explications man, lol
Depth signing
