Minor MLB Transactions: 8/19/20

By Connor Byrne | August 19, 2020 at 10:15pm CDT

The latest minor moves…

  • Before the second game of their doubleheader against the Cubs on Wednesday, the Cardinals selected right-hander Johan Oviedo from their alternate site and optioned Jesus Cruz. The 22-year-old Oviedo started the game and impressed in his major league debut, throwing five innings of two-run, four-strikeout ball with two hits and two walks allowed. Oviedo is in his fourth year in the St. Louis organization, and though he had a difficult time in his first season in Triple A last year (5.65 ERA, 5.1 BB/9 over 113 innings), he is regarded as a rather promising prospect. All of FanGraphs (No. 12), Baseball America (13) and MLB.com (13) place Oviedo among the Cardinals’ top 15 farmhands. FanGraphs wrote in the offseason that the 6-foot-6 Oviedo has mid-rotation potential, but it’ll depend on whether can improve his control. Not bad so far.

      How does one comment make you this mad lol. Let it go bro a cardinal fan will tell you the cards are better than they actually are, just like any other fan of any other team. It’s kinda pathetic how hung up on this you are

        @jkinser20 Clepto is mad because we were discussing the cardinals farm and I made him look like a fool…he thought he knew more than me for some reason and I schooled him…he tried to tell me they only had two top 100 prospects and he didn’t even know that the cardinals traded for Libertore…he hasn’t got over it since…Clepto is your classic thinks he knows everything and if you prove him wrong he trolls you and also is the classic internet tough guy…#rentfreeinlittlebsmind

        The cardinals have some organizational depth. Clepto doesn’t believe it. Is that not the definition of unbelievable depth?

        I’m starting to think Clepto and Cards81 are the same person. Either that or they love each other. Neither can stay away from the others posts. Its pathetic on both sides.

          No need to apologize Cards. The Cardinals ARE full of depth. That’s how they won the Central again last year. Did you know since they started the National Central Division the Cardinals have won more title than the entire other teams have added together. Quite the domination. So yes Clepto is obviously just a jealous troll from one of those other teams. Obviously
