Minor MLB Transactions: 12/20/19

By Connor Byrne | December 20, 2019 at 6:02am CDT

The latest minor moves from around baseball…

  • The Twins signed infielders Drew Maggi, Cody Asche and Jack Reinheimer to minor league contracts, per an announcement from Triple-A Rochester director of communications Nate Rowan. Maggi, 30, returns to the organization for a second season after posting a .258/.380/.407 slash in 516 plate appearances last year. He’s yet to crack the Majors to this point in his pro career. Asche was once one of the Phillies’ better prospects but never managed to cement himself as a big leaguer despite numerous chances. The corner infielder/outfielder is a .234/.293/.376 hitter in 1349 MLB plate appearances but a .275/.352/.467 batter in parts of six Triple-A seasons. Reinheimer, meanwhile, can play all over the infield and is considered a solid defender. The 27-year-old has a career .271/.338/.363 batting line in 1767 Triple-A plate appearances. Rowan also confirmed the Twins’ previously reported signings of lefty Danny Coulombe and Caleb Thielbar.

Earlier Moves

  • The Angels have signed shortstop Elliot Soto to a minors pact with an invitation to major league camp, Jon Heyman of MLB Network tweets. A 15th-round pick of the Cubs in 2010, the diminutive Soto (5 foot 9, 160 pounds) hasn’t gotten past Triple-A ball among his three professional organizations – Chicago, Miami and Colorado. The 30-year-old Soto did, however, show well at the minors’ highest level last season in the Rockies organization, as he batted .305/.380/,480 (111 wRC+) with 10 home runs and eight stolen bases over 463 plate appearances.

          “…I don’t know who you are.”

          It’s the internet. Nobody knows who anybody is. That’s why people are comfortable posting “unnecessary spiel on every post”.

    Since they have a new shortstop, I hope the Angels trade A. Simmons to the Cardinals and the Cards move DeJong to 3rd. The Cards trade Carpenter and a SubWay sandwich to the Angels. Thanks Angels.

    Asche has a -3 OPS+ his last year in the majors. Don’t know that I’ve ever seen a negative OPS+ and am not sure I understand the math on how that’s possible.
