Minor MLB Transactions: 7/10/18

By Jeff Todd | July 10, 2018 at 7:39pm CDT

We’ll use this post to track the day’s minor moves …

  • The Indians announced that right-hander George Kontos cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus. The veteran has enough service time to elect free agency but will instead remain with the organization in hopes of a return to Cleveland. Kontos, 33, tossed 5 1/3 innings and allowed a pair of runs in his brief run with the Indians at the big league level. He’s seen his velocity and strikeout rate fall off substantially in 2018 but has a lengthy track record as a quality reliever with the Giants and, more briefly, the Pirates spanning from 2012-17 (3.00 ERA, 7.4 K/9, 2.6 BB/9 in 324 1/3 innings).

Earlier Moves

  • The Yankees announced that righty David Hale has elected free agency after clearing outright waivers. He was recently designated by the New York organization for the third time this year. Hale will test the open market, but presumably remains a candidate to return on another minor-league pact, as he has done previously. In the aggregate, Hale has pitched to a 4.61 ERA with 5.3 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 in his 13 2/3 total MLB innings this year. The 30-year-old has worked as a starter at Triple-A, turning in 55 2/3 frames of 4.20 ERA ball there on the year.

      Someone might grab him after that nice pen performance the other day.

      No no no. He’s signs with the Twins,who release him without ever pitching for them.
      THEN signs a minor league deal with the Yanks.

        He will sign with Baltimore or Cleveland before the All Star Break, get lit up by the Yankees, get released and re sign with NYY. Hale is our double agent

    And here I thought Hale to Baltimore for Machado (with O’s picking up half Machado’s salary). Bummer.

    After his last performance, I see him hooking up with another team. There’s a couple of pitchers on that staff who should have been demoted,but for one reason or another Hale got the boot. Most likely he’ll come back and shut down the Yankees in a pivotal game.

      The only relievers who have options are Holder and Green, so who should have been demoted?

      not sure who you think should get demoted? Shreve is it.

      I don’t know. Don’t you think if there was another interested team he’d have been claimed on waivers?
