Minor MLB Transactions: 11/6/19

By Steve Adams | November 6, 2019 at 4:15pm CDT

We’ll track today’s minor moves — some of the first of this nascent offseason — in this post…

  • The Twins’ Triple-A affiliate announced the re-signing of catcher Tomas Telis and right-hander Jonathan Cheshire on minor league contracts. Telis, 28, appeared in the Majors each year from 2014-18, hitting a combined .230/.267/.298 in 267 plate appearances between the Marlins and Rangers. He’s a much more accomplished Triple-A hitter, though, and like many minor leaguers, he posted his best numbers ever in 2019’s heightened offensive environment in Triple-A. In 327 plate appearances with the Rochester Red Wings, Telis hit .330/.364/.490 with eight homers and 21 doubles. Cheshire, 25 this month, joined the Twins in August after struggling with the Blue Jays but showing well with the Somerset Patriots of the independent Atlantic League. Upon signing with the Twins, he tossed 13 2/3 shutout innings with a 14-to-4 K/BB ratio (one walk being intentional). The former 36th-round pick (Jays, 2017) will get another look in the upper levels of the Twins’ system on the heels of that impressive performance.

    The only thing I know about Cheshire is that he was on the team picture for Bisons autograph day and he wasn’t there because he got cut 2 days before autograph day

    Cheshire was pretty good this year. i actually was hoping the Phillies would sign him and actually mentioned him in an email to them, but the guy who responded didnt seem like a big fan. evidently didnt realize that Chesire threw sidearm, and therefore his velo was therefore not bad.

      You actually got a response from an MLB organization? Do you know someone who works for the Phillies?

        no. guess the guy wanted to respond just so as to shut me down. he was talking to me about how i should have looked more into each player’s velocity an such instead of such things as ERA and K/9, and in picking Cheshire to call me out on picked the lamest example. i told the person who responded this and they didnt reply again. and here we are with Cheshire looking like a decent player.
