Minor MLB Transactions: 3/1/21

By Mark Polishuk | March 1, 2021 at 5:34pm CDT

Catching up on the latest minor league transactions…

Newest Moves

  • The Yankees announced that they’ve outrighted outfielder Greg Allen to Triple-A. Allen, whom the Yankees designated last week, will remain in MLB camp. The Yankees acquired Allen from San Diego in January, but he lost his roster spot when the team signed reliever Justin Wilson. Allen, 27, has batted .239/.298/.343 with eight home runs and 32 stolen bases in 618 plate appearances between the Indians and Padres.

Earlier Today

  • The Diamondbacks announced that right-hander Keury Mella has been outrighted to Triple-A, and assigned to the team’s Major League spring camp.  Mella was designated for assignment earlier this week.  The righty has been action in each of the last four MLB seasons, though only for 19 games and 27 innings with the Reds and D’Backs.  After signing a minor league deal with Arizona last winter, Mella had a 1.80 ERA over 10 frames of work, with an even 10 strikeouts against three walks.
  • The Red Sox outrighted Marcus Walden to Triple-A after the right-hander cleared waivers, and Walden is remaining in Boston’s big league spring camp.  Walden was designated for assignment last week to create a roster spot for the newly-acquired Marwin Gonzalez.  A veteran of three MLB seasons and 106 innings in the Show, much of Walden’s experience (78 innings over 70 games) came during a workhorse of a 2019 season, as he posted a 3.81 ERA and 23.24K% out of the Red Sox bullpen.  Walden struggled badly last year, however, with a 9.45 ERA over 13 1/3 innings and almost as many walks (nine) as strikeouts (10).

    Over 30 minutes & not one comment- one mind you-on Marcus Walden. “Can anybody find me, someone, who loves Marcus”

      I’m actually pleasantly surprised he’s remaining in the Sox organization. His bad numbers from last season were largely because of 2 abysmal outings out of his 15 appearances. I thought some GM would do the bare minimum of looking into that and see he is a decent middle relief option.

    He’s a nice depth piece. I’m glad they retained him. I know his velo slipped in the short season but his era was inflated by 1 game

      The problem isn’t the 10 innings he pitched well last year its the 17 innings he pitched terribly before that is why he slipped through waivers

          Wark – Marcus Walden is on the wrong side of 30.
