Minor MLB Transactions: 12/23/17

By Kyle Downing | December 23, 2017 at 7:33pm CDT

We’ll use this post to keep track of teams’ minor moves throughout the day…

  • Infielder Matt Dominguez has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball, Steve Adams of MLBTR reports (on Twitter). Once a highly regarded prospect, the 28-year-old Dominguez hasn’t panned out in the bigs since debuting with the Marlins in 2011. He spent all of last year with Boston’s Triple-A affiliate and hit .264/.295/.425 with 16 home runs in 451 plate appearances.

Earlier updates

  • The Rockies have agreed to terms on a minor-league pact with Dante Bichette Jr., whose father was a four-time Rockies All-Star. News of the pact was originally reported by Matt Kardos at Pinstripe Prospects, and later confirmed by the elder Dante Bichette (via Thomas Harding of MLB.com). Bichette Jr. began his career in promising fashion after the Yankees made him a supplemental first round pick in the 2011 draft; the third baseman hit .342/.446/.505 with the Yankees’ Rookie league affiliate. However, he’s never quite managed to replicate that success at any other level of the minors. As such, Bichette Jr. has yet to reach Triple-A. Most recently, he hit .262/.352/.352 with the Trenton Thunder (Double-A affiliate of the Yankees) in 2017.

      It’s gotta be the chip on his shoulder Bo acquired by not being named after him.

      He has barely played enough for any other team is the probably obvious answer. He was once also considered a possible prospect for the Yanks after that one good year.

      Brush up on your Yankee history, blinded by jelousy the lack of attention your team gets compared to them.

      Bichette Jr. was a Yankees first round draft bust.

      I still wish him, and the Rockies well, not his fault Yankees overdrafted him first round in 2011 Draft.

          Yeah, but Pete Rose Jr. isn’t 25. He’s 23 years Bichette Jr.’s “Senior”
