Minor MLB Transactions: 2/24/18

By Kyle Downing | February 24, 2018 at 3:52pm CDT

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

  • The Red Sox have signed left-hander Tommy Layne to a minors pact; he’d been playing in the MLBPA camp. Brian MacPherson (formerly of the Providence Journal) was first with the news; Sean McAdam of the Boston Sports Journal has since confirmed the report. Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe tweets that the deal does not include an invite to spring training. This’ll be the 33-year-old’s second stint with the Red Sox, for whom he pitched 95 1/3 innings and earned 20 holds from 2014-2016. He put up a 3.30 ERA during that span, but with an unsettling walk rate (4.63 BB/9). Originally a late-round pick by the Diamondbacks, Layne has also spent time with the Padres, Yankees and Dodgers organizations. He’ll compete for a spot on a Boston roster that has plenty of high-end lefty starters but little in the way of lefty relief options.

    Why do the Red Sox always feel the need to have that stiff left-hander who can’t break glass or actually get left-handed hitters out?

      Because they love tomato bisque.

        It’s lobster bisque. Same color at a distance, however. Easy to get confused

    Lane isn’t worth signing again. He he can’t ever really struck out a left-hander

    And then the Red Sox release him in April and the Yanks pick him up in May again….we’ve seen this episode.

      He comes up in September and then we release him in the April after that’s how it usually works

    No Spring Training invite? For a left handed reliever? Why even bother?

    Does this really matter. It’s a minor deal. May never play for Sox.
