Minor MLB Transactions: 2/14/18

By Mark Polishuk | February 14, 2018 at 11:19pm CDT

The latest minor moves from around the game….

Newest moves

  • The Mariners have agreed to sign outfielder Junior Lake to a minor league deal, the Seattle Times’ Ryan Divish reports.  Manager Scott Servais said that Lake’s deal contains an invitation to their big league Spring Training camp, and the contract will be official once Lake passes a physical.  Lake, who turns 28 next month, hit .235/.278/.376 over 703 plate appearances with the Cubs, Orioles, and Blue Jays from 2013-16, and he played for the Red Sox Triple-A affiliate and in the Mexican League last season.

Earlier today

  • The Diamondbacks have signed outfielder Daniel Robertson to a minor league deal, according to Baseball Prospectus Kansas City’s David Lesky (Twitter link).  Robertson, 32, has a .262/.314/.328 slash line over 386 career plate appearances in the big leagues, with four different clubs since 2014.  He most recently played for the Indians, appearing in 32 games for Cleveland last season.
  • The Rays have signed right-hander J.D. Martin to a minors deal, The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports (via Twitter).  Martin tossed 125 innings for the Nationals as a starter in 2009-10 but hasn’t been back to the majors since, with stints in Korea and independent baseball as well as the affiliated minor leagues.  Rosenthal notes that Martin, who turned 35 last month, is trying to recast himself as a knuckleballer.

          i guess you don’t get his either, unless the marlins or rays, both teams who have been focusing on cutting costs, are suddenly interested in a player who will cost more than 5-125

    J.D. Martin actually was on the Rays roster for 1-day in 2013. Rays had played an 18-inning marathon and needed a starter against the Orioles. They called on Enny Romero, who had already returned home to the Dominican, who made it to the Trop in time to make his start. They also called on J.D. Martin in the event that Romero wasn’t able to make it to St. Pete.

      January 22, 2015: Signed as a Free Agent with the Chicago White Sox.

      I guess updating his picture wasn’t a high priority…..
