Minor MLB Transactions: 2/9/18

By Steve Adams | February 9, 2018 at 2:51pm CDT

We’ll keep track of some today’s minor moves around the league here…

  • The White Sox announced yesterday that they’ve inked infielder/outfielder Jake Elmore to a minor league contract and invited him to Spring Training. The versatile 30-year-old didn’t appear in the Majors in 2017, instead spending the year with the Triple-A affiliates for the Blue Jays and Marlins, where he struggled to a .236/.324/.281 in 416 plate appearances. Those unsightly rate stats aside, Elmore is a lifetime .289/.388/.369 hitter in nearly 2000 Triple-A plate appearances and comes with 197 games of MLB experience as well. In parts of five seasons with the D-backs, Astros, Reds, Brewers and Rays, Elmore is a .215/.297/.280 hitter that has appeared at every position on the field (including two innings of relief work).

      When do these ironic “haha nothing is happening” comments finally lose their welcome?

        Are you claiming that this is, in fact, NOT hot stove racing?

        When prominent free agents actually sign contracts.

    Why is this even newsworthy?

      because it’s been slow. any news is better than silence at this point.

      it’s also any indicator of where the White Sox stand at the moment. outlook? not good.

    His minor league numbers aren’t too bad. Good bb/so rate, some speed to go with the versatility. Looks like great AAA depth.

      Exactly. AAAA player. He can bring experience to AAA guys needing guidance and plays an emergency role in the majors for a bad team. Good time to gain future coaching experience.
