Minor MLB Transactions: 8/28/17

By Steve Adams | August 28, 2017 at 10:09am CDT

Here are Monday’s minor moves throughout the league…

  • The Mariners announced that they’ve once again selected the contract of right-hander Christian Bergman from Triple-A Tacoma, with fellow righty Dan Altavilla being optioned out to open a 25-man roster spot. This marks the third time that the Mariners have added the 29-year-old Bergman to the 40-man roster in 2017 alone. The former Rockies hurler has twice been designated for assignment as well, accepting outright assignments to Tacoma in both instances. Bergman has tossed 51 1/3 innings for the Mariners this season and averaged 5.8 K/9 against 2.5 BB/9 with a 38 percent ground-ball rate. The resulting 4.91 ERA (5.62 FIP, 5.18 xFIP, 4.99 SIERA) isn’t especially inspiring, but Bergman adds some length to a Mariners pitching staff that has been ravaged by injuries in 2017. As for the 24-year-old Altavilla, he tossed three innings in yesterday’s game, so he wouldn’t have been available for a couple of days anyhow.

    Why wouldnt this guy opt for free agency. He’s been put through waivers TWICE this month. A third DFA is almost a guarantee within the next week or so too. Can’t help but feel bad for the guy. Having every team in the major leagues pass on you twice and quite possibly three times over the course of a month must stink. I wish him luck this time around.

      He probably thinks he has a better chance getting back in the majors with the Mariners and/or they told him “hey if you stay you’ll be next up”

      If wasn’t claimed the other two times then it just shows no other team has much interest in him so why become a FA.

      Why not stay with rosters expanding Friday? Best chance to be in the majors this year

    This is like a guy remarrying the same woman after a split. Do you really think she has changed or is another divorce inevitable?
