Minor MLB Transactions: 12/19/20

By Mark Polishuk | December 19, 2020 at 1:43pm CDT

The latest minor league moves from around baseball…

  • The Phillies have signed right-hander Neftali Feliz to a minor league contract, according to reporter Silfredo Melo (hat tip to Hector Gomez of Deportivo Z 101).  The deal contains an invitation to Philadelphia’s big league Spring Training camp.  A veteran of nine MLB seasons and the winner of the 2010 Rookie Of The Year Award, Feliz hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2017, as he spent 2018 with the Diamondbacks’ Triple-A team and a minors deal with the Mariners in April 2019 didn’t materialize into any playing time in Seattle’s farm system.  Multiple injuries hampered Feliz’s very promising career, but there’s no risk for the bullpen-needy Phillies in seeing if Feliz (who is still only 32) has anything left in the tank.  This is the second time that Phils president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has acquired Feliz — the righty is one of Dombrowski’s first signings in Philadelphia and he was one of the executive’s last signings in Detroit, as the Tigers signed Feliz less than a month before Dombrowski and the club parted ways in August 2015.

    Minor transaction indeed. Dude didn’t even get his name in the headline while being the only name discussed.

    Neftali Feliz is only 32? I would have believed you if you had said he was 52. No knock against him though, he’s resurrected his career before, if he can cut down on allowing homers I wouldn’t be surprised if he can do it again.

    I like it. Low cost option that can’t really do any worse than the rest of our bullpen.

    This happened a few days ago, but I still like the coverage on it. Should’ve always been a reliever, but nevertheless, with a really new group of individuals in Philly maybe he’ll learn a few new skills and up his game again. Good, low risk, move.

    Seems like a reach to me. But the Phillies bullpen is in shambles anyway

    Worth a shot for the Phillies. He had a couple real good seasons but unfortunately that was 10 years ago. Not that old so maybe he can give them something.

    DD is not known for building strong pens which is perhaps the Phillies biggest weakness. DD has also built world champions. DD’s time in Philly will certainly be interesting.

    I used to play back in the day……..maybe the Phils could sign me……I had all kinds of junk pitches…….the nibbler, a floater, slider, slow curve, fast curve, forkball, fastball, and the roundhouse……….
