Minor MLB Transactions: 10/19/17

By Steve Adams | October 19, 2017 at 12:29pm CDT

Here are Thursday’s minor moves from around the league…

  • The Orioles announced that they’ve signed first baseman/outfielder Joe Maloney to a minor league contract. The 27-year-old Maloney was a 10th-round pick of the Rangers out of Division II Limestone College back in 2011. Texas cut him loose after an underwhelming age-22 season in 2013, but Maloney parlayed a solid two-year stretch with the Rockland Boulders of the independent Can-Am League into a 2016 minor league stint with the Twins. Maloney returned to the indy circuit in 2017, again suiting up for Rockland but this time posting a ridiculous .282/.359/.638 batting line and 35 homers (429 plate appearances) en route to league MVP honors. The O’s are thin on first base options in the upper levels of their minor league system, so Maloney could factor into that mix in 2018.

      That’s ok. Just wait for their inevitable Matt Garza and Derek Holland signings to do that

    The O’s needs to sign Mitch Moreland for there everyday first baseman. And cut ties with Chris Davis

      Chris Davis is a real Texan though, so wouldn’t you be disappointed since you’re one too?

      You are really naïve. No one in baseball just “cuts ties” with a player still owed $100MM guaranteed. And if they were to do this, there is no way they would sign Moreland. They would just play Mancini at 1B and free up a spot for another of their outfield prospects.
