Minor MLB Transactions: 3/4/2018

By Mark Polishuk | March 4, 2018 at 2:19pm CDT

Rounding up the latest minor moves from around the baseball world…

  • The Royals have outrighted Billy Burns to Triple-A after the outfielder cleared waivers, the team announced (via Twitter).  Burns was designated for assignment earlier this week but will now return to Kansas City’s big league Spring Training camp.  The 28-year-old finished fifth in AL Rookie Of The Year voting in 2015 after an impressive debut year with the Athletics, but has since hit just .233/.269/.293 over 338 plate appearances over the last two seasons.  Burns appeared in just seven games for the Royals last year, as he spent much of the season with Triple-A Omaha.

    What’s quite fun is to click on the “Billy Burns” tab under this story and look at what people thought about him when he was first traded, in 2016 and how they felt about Eibner, the scrub he was traded for. Passionate takes for a couple nothings. I love it.
