The latest minor transactions from around baseball…
- Utilityman Kristopher Negron has retired, as he announced on Twitter on Tuesday. A seventh-round pick of the Red Sox in 2006, the 33-year-old Negron walked away from the game after appearing in the majors in parts of six seasons from 2012-19 with the Reds, Diamondbacks, Mariners and Dodgers. He divided his final season between the Seattle and Los Angeles organizations. Overall, Negron batted .221/.291/.336 with nine home runs across a 416-plate appearance span in the majors. He was more successful at the Triple-A level, where he collected 3,291 PA and hit .256/.323/.403 with 76 homers.
- The Padres have signed Mexican left-hander/outfielder Zayed Salinas for $800K, Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs tweets. The 16-year-old Salinas offers a three-pitch mix – an 87 to 90 mph fastball, a curveball and a changeup – and ranks as FanGraphs’ top prospect from Mexico in 2019, Longenhagen notes. Salinas could turn into a “contact-oriented” center fielder if he doesn’t pan out as a pitcher, per FanGraphs’ scouting report.
I remember Negron gettin drafted
And…..?
Pepperidge Farm remembers too.
Remember when you hit that pedestrian in the crosswalk and then just drove away? Pepperidge Farm remembers, but Pepperidge Farm ain’t going to keep it to Pepperidge Farm’s self free of charge. Maybe you go out and buy yourself some these distinctive Milano cookies and maybe this whole thing goes away.
At least K-Neg got to live the major league lifestyle for parts of six seasons.
My dream never realized……
