We’ll keep track of today’s minor moves in this post…
- The Blue Jays announced that they’ve signed right-hander Nick Tepesch to a minor league deal; he’ll report to the club’s spring training camp. Tepesch began his MLB career with the Rangers in 2013, and went on to pitch 219 innings for the club to the tune of a 4.56 ERA from 2013-2014. However, he missed the entirety of the 2015 season with shoulder issues that eventually resulted in thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in August. The Rangers elected to non-tender Tepesch after that season, and he hasn’t managed to latch onto an active roster spot for an MLB club since, despite getting a shots at the major league level with the Dodgers, Twins and Blue Jays.
Finally. Phew. Everyone around the league was waiting for this domino to fall. Maybe now Arrieta will finally sign somewhere.
There’s still a FOR arm in there if he can get his stinkin head right.
He can’t strike anyone out
