Minor MLB Transactions: 1/31/18

By Mark Polishuk | January 31, 2018 at 2:45pm CDT

Here are the latest minor moves from around the game, with the newest transactions at the top of the post…

  • The Yankees have signed right-hander David Hale to a minor league contract, SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo reports (Twitter link).  Hale posted a 3.30 ERA over 87 1/3 IP for the Braves as a reliever and occasional starter in 2014, but his performance suffered after a trade to Colorado that offseason.  The ground-ball specialist struggled to a 6.09 ERA over 78 1/3 IP (mostly as a starter) that year and then tossed only two MLB innings in 2016.  Hale has since pitched in the Orioles’ and Dodgers’ farm systems.

      Over-the-top reaction to your comment about how this player may be useful to the club without realizing that your comment was sarcasm.

        I’m surprised that a transaction so important doesn’t link to highly recommended reading material.

    Random unrelated comment trying to be funny that probably won’t be read or responded to by anyone because the post is a day old
