Minor MLB Transactions: 1/26/19

By Mark Polishuk | January 26, 2019 at 9:05am CDT

The latest minor league moves from around baseball…

  • The Angels announced their slate of non-roster invitees to their big league Spring Training camp, including several notable prospects, and names whose minor league signings have already been reported here on MLBTR’s pages.  The list also includes right-hander Miguel Almonte, who was outrighted off the 40-man roster after being designated for assignment last week.  Almonte tossed seven relief innings for the Halos last season, and has an 8.66 ERA over 17 2/3 career innings with the Royals and Angels.
  • The Dodgers have re-signed Justin De Fratus to another minor league deal, as revealed by the right-hander himself on his Instagram page.  (Hat tip to J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group.)  De Fratus posted a 4.74 ERA, 6.3 K/9, and a 3.00 K/BB rate over 133 combined innings for the Dodgers at the Double-A and Triple-A levels last season.  He started all 23 of his appearances in 2018, his second straight year of working as a starter after pitching almost exclusively as a reliever from 2010-16.  That stretch included De Fratus’ 194 career Major League innings with the Phillies from 2011-15, and he has since pitched in the minors for the Rangers, Mariners, Nationals and Dodgers looking for a return to the Show.
  • The Diamondbacks outrighted southpaw Jared Miller off their 40-man roster and down to Triple-A, as per a team announcement.  Miller was designated for assignment last week to create roster space for the newly-signed Wilmer Flores.  An 11th-round pick for Arizona in the 2014 draft, Miller has a 3.85 ERA, 9.7 K/9, and a 2.08 K/BB rate over 327 career minor league frames, but he was beset by severe control problems last season, issuing a whopping 63 walks over 42 Triple-A innings.

      I hate to say it but the twins are a small ball market that has no chance of signing a top dollar free agent sorry but hopefully they’ll win al central next year
