Let’s check in on the latest minor moves from around the game …
- The Red Sox have a deal of the minor-league variety with right-hander Zac Grotz, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com (via Twitter). Grotz receives an invitation to MLB Spring Training in the agreement. He’ll be looking to reach the majors for the third-straight year after reaching the professional ranks as a 28th-round pick. The former Mariner has surrendered twenty earned runs with a 22:19 K/BB ratio through 24 2/3 MLB innings.
- The Winnipeg Goldeyes of the indy ball American Association have announced the addition of a pair of former big league hurlers. 31-year-old Ryan Dull will seek to earn his way back into the affiliated ranks after a series of tough campaigns. He excelled for the Athletics in 2016 but has struggled with injuries and performance lapses since. Also coming aboard is righty Josh Lucas, who has thrown 37 1/3 innings of 5.54 ERA ball at the game’s highest level (including a brief stint alongside Dull with the Athletics in 2018). Additionally, former Phillies farmhand Kyle Martin will be back to reprise his role as a top slugger for the Goldeyes.
Whoopy
You must be bored
To put this in sports perspective, it’s “whoop-de-damn-do’.
I believe it is the wrong kyle martin
The sound… of silence…
It’s really Dull…
I am all for reading about any and all signings. Those who feel reading about minor MLB transactions is beneath them can just skip the articles entitled minor MLB transactions.
I wish all 3 the best of luck
….and Chaim Bloom does nothing. Wait ….Wait a minute, he did do something. This was the missing piece to the puzzle!!! 2021 WS here we come. Geez!
Kyle Martin is a pitcher who has never before played for the Goldeyes, so I’m thinking there is some confusion here.
how Dull
Way to go Bloom!!!! A 27th round draft pick Zac Grotz on a minor league contract!! Wow A guy with a 14.73 ERA last year.. WOW !!!!How could teams have missed on this guy? Bloom sees stuff that all the other GMs Miss!
We’re back baby !!! We’re back baby!!! Bloom continues to pick up needed ball players!!!!
Where do I get my World Series Tickets?
it would be a real problem if it was Major League contract
AL34 – Yellowstone is calling you…maybe a trip there will calm you down…off the ledge…that or meds
How do you like his moves? Has he done anything to improve the team. I guess Kennedy’s statement about last year being an embarrassment was all bs. So far we have spent 5 million to improve the pitching by adding potential CY Young Award Winner Martin Perez. Tell me I’m wrong here
Batting practice
