Minor MLB Transactions: 11/11/20

By Steve Adams | November 11, 2020 at 2:52pm CDT

Here are Wednesday’s minor moves from around the game…

  • Left-hander Brian Gonzalez has signed a minor league deal with the Rockies, agent Gavin Kahn announced on Twitter. He’ll receive an invite to Major League Spring Training. Gonzalez, who turned 25 a couple of weeks ago, was a third-round pick of the Orioles back in 2014 but never advanced beyond the Double-A level in the Baltimore system. Gonzalez was hit hard at that level as a 22-year-old but fared better in 2019, when he logged a 4.32 ERA and 35-to-11 K/BB ratio in 41 2/3 frames there. He’s never been considered a particularly high-end prospect, but the Rockies have a clear need for some depth in the upper levels of a weak farm system.
  • The Athletics have signed right-hander Montana DuRapau to a minor league contract, according to DuRapau’s agents at Primetime Sports Group (Twitter link). The 28-year-old (29 in March) didn’t pitch in the big leagues this past season but logged 14 1/3 frames with the Pirates in 2019. That’s the only Major League experience DuRapau has on his track record, and it didn’t go particularly well, as he yielded 15 runs in that time. However, DuRapau carries a career 3.42 ERA in parts of three Triple-A seasons — including a sterling 2.14 mark with 11.1 K/9 against 2.7 BB/9 in 46 1/3 innings during 2019’s wildly hitter-friendly, juiced-ball season.

      Yeah I was surprised too, I didn’t think he had been around the Bucs’ system as long as he has. Oh well.

    The Orioles moved Gonzalez too slowly through their system and (given his pedigree and tenure) should’ve had him up in the Majors two years ago. At worst, he would’ve made Oriole pitching look bad– an ongoing issue with or without his rookie debut.

    MDR pitched well his first couple times out with the Pirates in 2019 then they used him for an “opener” and he was awful after that.I thought that he deserved more of a chance but they seemed to have given up on him as he was older and probably did not have the heat.He matured late but pitched magnificently that year in AAA so the A’s may have done their normal due diligence.

    Obviously the Rob Refsnyder market is too secretive to be reported on. Intense negotiations!

      Its not that its secretive, its that it is so expansive. With Springer, his market is limited to a few Major League teams. With Refsnyder, it could be any Major League team, Minor League team, Japan, Korea, Mexico, or even Australia. The market is much more limited to the likes of Hand, Hendricks and Realmuto. Not Refsnyder, his options are wide open.

    Bob- You are getting Stormy confused with Jon Daniels.
    They do look a lot alike though.
    You may have had one too many foul balls off your mask when you caught for the Sawx.
