Minor MLB Transactions: 12/15/18

By Connor Byrne | December 15, 2018 at 10:29pm CDT

A look at the latest minor moves from around baseball…

  • The Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters of Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball announced that they have acquired outfielder Wang Po-jung from the Lamigo Monkeys of the Chinese Professional Baseball League, per the Japan Times. The Fighters reached a three-year agreement worth around $3.54MM with Wang, who looked like a possibility to immigrate to the majors via the posting process after last season. Instead, the Taiwan native will remain in Asia, where he has toyed with opposing pitchers. The 25-year-old Wang logged a 1.110 OPS over 1,484 at-bats in his previous league. If the bat-flipping Wang’s brilliance transfers to Japan, it stands to reason he’ll draw major league interest in the future.

    9/10. Good release point and bonus points for height. Lack of revolutions is the only thing holding the score down.

    So u took my advice to do international news in the minor transactions page. Much respect. However when y’all start to do the separate international news page that I recommended, I want my cut of $$$$ for recommending to you. I’ll be fair… I’ll even consider a small part time gig as payment or a simple one time payout. No need to make it major news

      Yeah, I am sure no one on Earth ever thought about international news before you mentioned it. But if it helps….

      You sir, are a visionary on par with Alexander the Great and Leonardo da Vinci. It is an honor to be on the same planet as you.

      Feel better now?

      They also stole my idea of capitalizing of the first letter of each sentence. This site is ripping us off!

        I have those same thoughts.
        Over-playing their hand will cost them….

        Or….

        It’s entirely possible that the Owners are the ones “holding things up”……it’s a Game of Chicken. Whoever flinches first…..loses.

        I wonder which side will get nervous first..???

          I bet Boras was really bummed professionally when Mr Ilitch (RIP) died. He was always willing to offer a blockbuster deal.

        and the Monkeys are positioning themselves for a historic signing. Just trying to keep this thread Asian-centric

      The Ham Fighters just took themselves out of the mix of teams for Harper and Machado.
