Minor MLB Transactions: 4/14/18

By Mark Polishuk | April 14, 2018 at 3:49pm CDT

The latest minor league moves from around baseball….

Newest Moves:

  • The Rangers signed infielder Nick Noonan to a minor league deal, according to team executive VP of communication John Blake (Twitter link).  Noonan has been assigned to Triple-A Round Rock.  Noonan was selected 32nd overall in the 2007 draft by the Giants and has appeared in 83 Major League games (with San Francisco and San Diego) as he begins his 12th pro season.  The 28-year-old has a .267/.319/.373 slash line over 4497 minor league PA, plus extensive playing time as a second baseman, third baseman, and shortstop, so he’ll provide some extra depth for a Texas club that has lost Elvis Andrus and Rougned Odor to the disabled list.

Earlier Today:

  • The Nationals have officially released Miguel Montero, SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo tweets.  The veteran catcher was designated for assignment earlier this week. He signed a minor league contract with the Nats over the offseason and ended up appearing in four games with the team, filling in as Washington dealt with some catching injuries.
  • With Montero now gone, the Nationals added some minor league catching depth by inking Tuffy Gosewisch to a minors deal, as per the team’s MLB.com transactions page. Gosewisch was released by the Mariners in early April after re-signing with the organization on a new minor league deal over the offseason. Gosewisch appeared in just 11 big league games with Seattle last season, but received 369 PA as a backup catcher with the D’Backs from 2014-16.

        The Mets lost their top two catchers in three days. I can’t imagine Montero is worse than their third and fourth string catchers.

    When the going got tough, the Nats signed Tuffy.

      Tuffy was a solid backstop and good with the staff in Seattle/Tacoma. They’re lucky to have him as a depth option.

        He’s a good locker room guy from what I’ve heard, and he has put up solid stats at AAA. But his cameo with the Mariners last season was insanely terrible, -51 OPS+

        Doesn’t he only rake the first week of a season?

      You are probably thinking of this guy:

      And his three HRs vs. Gooden on Opening Day 1994.

    The Mets need to do something because Lobaton who cannot throw runners out is hitting a huge 047, and Nido is hitting 198.. Montero can at least hit the Mendoza line and be a 220 or better hitter plus he throws out 31% of runners so signing him to a minor league contract for the Mets makes sense but since Alderson moves slower than a backwards slug sipping tequila we are still waiting for some salt.
