Minor MLB Transactions: 10/26/18

By Steve Adams | October 26, 2018 at 12:16pm CDT

We’ll track some minor moves from around the game here…

  • The Indians announced yesterday that they’ve re-signed left-hander R.C. Orlan and right-hander Shao-Ching Chiang to minor league contracts and invited both to Major League Spring Training in 2019. Orlan returned from injury in 2018 and worked his way back to Triple-A by season’s end, posting a combined 0.61 ERA with a 39-to-7 K/BB ratio across 29 2/3 innings. Much of that impressive-looking work came against Rookie-level opposition for the 27-year-old Orlan, but he also combined for 17 1/3 shutout innings between Double-A and Triple-A, making it easy to see why the organization was quick to retain him. Chiang, 24, generated strong results in a dozen Double-A starts before struggling more in his first 11 career starts at the Triple-A level. In all, the Taiwanese righty pitched to a 3.90 ERA with 6.2 K/9 and 1.6 BB/9 in 136 innings.
  • Baseball America’s Matt Eddy runs through a couple hundred minor league signings, releases, Arizona Fall League assignments, Winter League assignments and free-agent elections in his latest Minor League Transactions roundup, which has notes on all 30 big league clubs. Among the more recognizable names to formally elect free agency were Pedro Alvarez, George Kontos, Carter Capps and Chase Whitley. All should have been expected when they weren’t on 40-man rosters at season’s end, but the formalities are still at least of some note.

    Carter Capps seems like a good low-risk high-reward type of guy to invest in. He has the talent but just needs to stay healthy.

      There is a reason Capps was outrighted off the 40 man this past season from the padres. Since he couldn’t do his hop skip anymore, plus with the surgery he had blood clout and tos he isn’t the same. Like it’s brutal to watch him pitch.

    Matt Eddy’s column does not have notes on all 30 clubs as says. There is nothing on the Mets.
