Minor MLB Transactions: 3/22/21

By Mark Polishuk | March 22, 2021 at 1:16pm CDT

The latest minor moves from around baseball…

  • The Rangers announced that right-hander Joe Gatto has been outrighted to Triple-A.  The 25-year-old Gatto was a second-round pick for the Angels in the 2014 draft and he spent his entire career in the Halos organization before signing a Major League contract with Texas back in December.  Gatto will receive $570.5K in guaranteed salary though he has yet to pitch in the big leagues, posting a 4.80 ERA and 18.3% strikeout rate over 448 1/3 career innings in the minors.  The move opens up a 40-man roster spot that could be filled by one of many non-roster invitees (i.e. Ian Kennedy, Matt Bush, Charlie Culberson, Hunter Wood) in the Rangers’ camp, and the team may have more 40-man moves in the offing to accommodate several of these players.

    Joe Gatto is Hilarious on Impractical Jokers.

    I think he’ll be ok without this baseball thing.

    I thought Joe was tied up with Jokers and the game show, what a talented & busy guy.

    Rooting for Joey even though he’s with a division rival now. I interviewed him as a prospect with the Angels. Cool guy, very nice.

    I was shocked he got an MLB deal, but good for him.

      This might have been a good idea to capitalize every word, just to avoid…

      I think we know what Rangers29 meant. But still.

        It’s a running joke in the Rangers’ realm. The hashtag was coined by Rangers’ beat writer, Evan Grant, in 2014 whenever the team imploded and he wanted to jump on the hashtag bandwagon with a Rangers theme. He – unironically – tweeted “#bullpenisbad”, and it has been a running joke ever since.
