Minor MLB Transactions: 2/21/21

By Anthony Franco | February 21, 2021 at 6:06pm CDT

The latest minor moves from around the game:

  • The Braves announced that outfielder Travis Demeritte has cleared waivers and been assigned outright to Triple-A Gwinnett. The move opens a 40-man roster spot, which figures to go to infielder Jake Lamb once his one-year deal is finalized. This is Demeritte’s second stint the Braves, as Atlanta traded Demeritte to the Tigers in 2019 but brought him back via waivers last week. The 26-year-old will remain in the Atlanta organization as non-roster depth. Over 219 plate appearances in Detroit the past two seasons, Demeritte hit just .217/.284/.323 with three home runs.
  • The Padres announced they have signed catcher Wynston Sawyer to a minor-league contract with an invitation to big league spring training. A former eighth-round pick of the Orioles, Sawyer has also spent time in the minors with the Dodgers and Twins. The 29-year-old hasn’t gotten any MLB action, but he did earn a spot on the Yankees’ 40-man roster at the end of last season. Sawyer has generally been productive in the high minors, compiling a .263/.328/.421 line in three seasons at Double-A and hitting .277/.370/.405 at the Triple-A level. San Diego currently has Austin Nola, Víctor Caratini and top prospect Luis Campusano on the 40-man roster at the position.

      I’m a little surprised Demeritte cleared waivers. He probably could help a few small market teams right now. I like this for the Braves. Demeritte has some decent minors power numbers that just haven’t followed over to his small MLB experience.

    So, will Wynston Sawyer be the key pickup that puts the Padres all the way over the top? I don’t think so either. These guys are both just deep depth.

    TD back in the Braves farm.. glad to see it. Work out the kinks and turn yourself into a hard working bench guy that will do anything for the team. He’s definitely skilled enough to fit a long time bench role

      But not one of their top 40 and no one else claimed him. Not a good sign. But I agree he is a hard worker.

    The transaction in which outfielder Travis cleared waivers and as such was assigned outright to AAA earned the Braves a Demeritte !!

      First of all, this joke got done multiple times a few days ago when he was DFA’d. Also, all who did it then did so better than this attempt.

    Sawyer kinda of reminds me of Eric Kratz. I hope he makes it to the show one day. He at least deserves to get 3 bats in.
