Minor MLB Transactions: 3/13/18

By Jeff Todd | March 13, 2018 at 2:58pm CDT

We’ll track the day’s minor moves with this post:

  • Backstop Brett Nicholas is back in camp with the Rangers after clearing waivers and being outrighted, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News tweets. He’ll still have a shot at earning the organization’s back-up catching job, though obviously it seems he is behind others in the competition. Nicholas, 29, has been a strong offensive performer at Triple-A, where he owns a .283/.333/.427 slash in 1,669 lifetime plate appearances, and helpfully hits from the left side. But his defensive abilities are not generally considered as polished, reducing his appeal as a reserve receiver.

          Generally so they can have another year of possession over him

          ESPN is a toilet tag. There are at least 15 other sports news outlets with more credibility and relevance than ESPN can even attempt to boast.

          sure, but he also hasn’t made a case that he deserves a spot
