The latest minor moves from around baseball…
- The Indians have selected right-handed reliever Nick Sandlin’s contract, Zack Meisel of The Athletic was among those to report. Sandlin joined the Indians as a second-round pick in 2018, but he has thrown just 50 1/3 innings in the minors since then, owing in part to a forearm strain in 2019 and the canceled minor league season in 2020. The 24-year-old submariner has been effective in the minors when healthy, having put up a 2.68 ERA with 74 strikeouts and 18 walks. MLB.com ranks Sandlin 30th in the Indians’ system, writing that “[h]e has a high floor as a multi-inning reliever and the upside of a back-of-the-rotation starter.”
- The Pirates have released catcher Christian Kelley, Kevin Gorman of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review tweets. Kelley had been with the Pirates since they chose him in the 11th round of the 2015 draft, but he hasn’t made it to the big leagues yet. The 27-year-old topped out at Triple-A in 2019 and hit .179/.251/.282 with five home runs in 281 plate appearances.
good to see Sandlin get his shot. I think he can be a heck of a RP if healthy.
After that showing by a classless Phillies organization…. Mets need to you know what to Harper next time they play.
You are a complete tool. You literally NEVER post anything worthwhile. It’s one thing to be a homer, but you’re just lame and repetitive. And you talk about class.
Kowalski analysis
oh the irony…
Maybe Alvarado should learn how to throw.

Have fun in 4th this year. Alvarado will not.
Complete mets fool troll
Is that even English typical mets fan
Hes not exactly wrong about the phillies pitcher..that guy needs a hefty fine and a cpl days suspension for trying to start a brawl (and cowardly starting it when dom smith wasn’t even looking at him or talking)
A hefty suspension and fine for trying to start a brawl? Seriously? When did thus become the wuss league? You hit one of ours and we hit one of yours and it’s settled. Jeezus this is way overblown. If Harper wasn’t involved no one would care.
I said hefty fine and a cpl of days suspension, not a hefty suspension
Harper wasn’t involved.
Did you see what we’re talking about? Smith wasnt even complaining about the showboating…Alvarado was purposely trying to start a brawl with a guy for no reason
