Minor MLB Transactions: 4/28/21

By Connor Byrne | April 28, 2021 at 10:54pm CDT

The latest minor moves from around baseball…

  • The Rangers have traded 24-year-old right-hander Leon Hunter to the American League West rival Mariners for cash considerations or a player to be named later, according to an announcement from Texas. Hunter was a 35th-round pick of the Rangers in 2019 who pitched at the rookie and Low-A levels that year. He notched a minuscule 1.38 ERA and amassed 30 strikeouts against just five walks in 25 innings during his first professional action, but with no minor league campaign in 2020, Hunter was unable to build on that quality showing last season.
  • The Mets announced that they’ve claimed catcher Deivy Grullon off waivers from the Rays. New York then optioned the 25-year-old to its alternate site. Grullon, whom the Rays designated on April 24, totaled 13 major league plate appearances between the Phillies and Red Sox from 2019-20. In his Triple-A debut in 2019, Grullon batted a productive .283/.354/.496 with 21 home runs in 457 PA.

          Yes, he can crush them…against guys who are bagging groceries. He has to prove himself against MLB talent.

      Idk about that. Mets had only one other Catcher on their 40-man roster with exception to McCann and Nido so Grullon is depth at this point.

    Is this the proper forum/article to slam Al Avila on? I hope so/ don’t care…..
    Al stinks.

    No really, I like Al, really.
    Chris stinks. No, I like Chris, really. But today, I think I have bought my last pizza for a long, long time….even threw away all the extra “free” napkins. I am actually surprised that such a tight behind would even allow them to give me napkins…cheap betheturd.

    Really, I like Al. I like Chris. They embrace excellence.

    Really.

    Your comment is just as weird as why a team why would trade a 35th round draft pick who they just drafted for cash considerations. The guy performed well and not to many late rounders have lengthy careers.

    Grullon is probably better than McCann.
