Minor MLB Transactions: 9/1/20

By Connor Byrne | September 1, 2020 at 8:03pm CDT

Keeping up with the latest minor moves from around baseball…

  • The White Sox have outrighted outfielder Nicky Delmonico, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. He’ll remain with the organization at the team’s alternate training site. Now 28 years old, Delmonico enjoyed a terrific 166-plate appearance debut with the White Sox in 2017, when he slashed .262/.373/.482 with nine home runs. Success in the majors has eluded Delmonico since then, though, as he has combined for a weak .210/.287/.346 line with nine HRs in 408 PA dating back to 2018. The White Sox designated him for assignment Aug. 28.
  • The Mariners have outrighted Zac Grotz to Triple-A Tacoma, according to Greg Johns of MLB.com. The right-handed Grotz struggled mightily across five appearances and 7 1/3 innings before the Mariners booted him from their 40-man. So far this season, offenses have tattooed Grotz for 12 earned runs on 11 hits and 11 walks, and he has totaled just four strikeouts.
  • The Rangers have added infielder Davis Wendzel and outfielders Steele Walker and Bubba Thompson to their 60-man player pool, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News tweets. They’re headed to the Rangers’ alternate site. All three rank among the Rangers’ top 15 prospects at MLB.com, which places Wendzel 11th, Walker 12th and Thompson 15th. Wendzel’s only a year removed from going 41st overall in the 2019 draft, but a thumb injury limited him to 24 plate appearances between rookie and Low-A ball. Walker was a 2018 second-rounder of the White Sox who joined the Rangers in the two teams’ Nomar Mazara trade last winter. The Rangers used a first-rounder on Thompson in 2017, but the 22-year-old is coming off a rough 2019 in High-A, where he batted .178/.261/.312 in 228 trips to the plate.

    Yesss finally some fresh faces that I actually want to see play baseball. We will probably ruin them… No can’t be cynical, but we probably will ruin them.

    Walker, Texas Ranger. Instant crowd favorite on the name alone. Bonus points if he can do a roundhouse kick.

      The Rangers will probably make out better than the Sox have in that trade. Aside from a few hits and decent catches, Mazara has provided nothing.

        No question. I didn’t like the trade, even at the time, especially with guys like Castellanos and Ozuna available. Really hoping they just took a flyer on him, intending to use him as a stop-gap if he didn’t work out while they wait for a better option. Doubt they’ll land Springer, but most RFs are better than Mazara.

          I tried my best to be open minded to the claim of him being young and possibly having untapped potential but my patience has worn thin. I hope things work out for him as he’s been such a disappointment this far.

          He’s got Sept to figure it out (I suppose however long they play in Oct also). He’s only played a month, so theoretically it’s possible for him to still show us why Hahn traded for him. But I’m not holding my breath on that one.

          If he keeps playing like he did in Aug through the rest of Sept, he will make Hahn’s decision on him much easier this Winter.

        Lame–even by your bottom-of-the-barrel standards.

        If you’re going to troll, as least try to make it count.
