Minor MLB Transactions: 4/6/21

By Connor Byrne | April 6, 2021 at 9:59pm CDT

Tuesday’s minor moves:

  • The Tigers outrighted Christin Stewart to their alternate site after he cleared waivers, per a team announcement. The club designated the 27-year-old outfielder for assignment last week. Stewart appeared in the majors in each of the previous three seasons, during which he combined for a .225/.300/.376 line with 15 home runs in 587 plate appearances.
  • The Royals designated catcher Meibrys Viloria and righty Scott Blewett last week, but it appears both players will stay in the organization. They announced that Viloria will head to Double-A, while Blewett will go to their alternate site. The 24-year-old Viloria batted .215/.266/.287 with one homer in 201 trips to the plate with the Royals from 2019-20. Blewett, also 24, was a second-round pick of the Royals in 2014 who made a two-appearance, three-inning major league debut a season ago. He put up a disastrous 8.52 ERA with 56 strikeouts and 46 walks in 81 1/3 Triple-A frames in 2019.

      Agreed jonnymac. Bummer and Homer Bailey get honorable mention.

        Don’t forget about Grant Balfour.

      Former first round pick and at one time top prospect Christin Stewart has really unimpressed in MLB. Guy tore it up in the minors. Maybe a change of scenery would do him some good. It seems no other club is interested though as he cleared waivers.

    Very bad AAA numbers for Blewett. A high draft choice.

      forget AAA, he’s sucked at every level he’s played at. never had a yearly ERA under 4.00. wouldnt have came anywhere near the Majors if not for the pedigree.

    If only Stewart could play the outfield.
    One of the worst outfielders I have seen in years. Sad thing is he can’t hit either. New organization might have done him some good.
    Oh well…..
