Minor MLB Transactions: 7/8/21

By Anthony Franco | July 8, 2021 at 10:29pm CDT

Today’s minor moves:

  • The Blue Jays announced they’ve acquired outfield prospect Darlin Guzman from the Reds as the player to be named later in the teams’ January deal that sent right-hander Héctor Pérez to Cincinnati. Guzman joined the Reds during the 2017-18 international signing period and spent the next two seasons in the Dominican Summer League. He hit .306/.361/.537 over 391 plate appearances in the DSL and was with the Reds’ Arizona Complex League team in 2021. The 20-year-old has never appeared on a Reds system ranking at Baseball America or FanGraphs. Pérez, meanwhile, was outrighted off the 40-man roster last month after struggling with Triple-A Louisville. He remains in the organization but hasn’t made a big league appearance with Cincinnati.
  • The Cubs announced that catcher Taylor Gushue has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A Iowa. The 27-year-old does not have the requisite service time to refuse an outright assignment, so he’ll remain in the organization as high minors depth. A longtime Nationals farmhand, Gushue signed with the Cubs over the winter and has hit .272/.328/.440 over 137 plate appearances with Iowa this season. That earned him his first promotion to the major leagues last week, but he was designated for assignment having appeared in just two games when Chicago signed Robinson Chirinos to a big league deal.

    Nice trade for the Jays. Got a 20 yr old lottery ticket for a guy that was subsequently outrighted.

      Thinking the same thing. The increase in overall stats is astounding (IMO). Comparable AB making the comparison really easy. Suggest you take a look.

    That’s the way all the international signings go. Perez has played barely one year of ball with a handful of games in the U.S.
    He’ll be demoted to AA and try again- he’s only 25- I doubt if he’s washed up yet or he would’ve been released. There’s good trades and bad trades but no “free lottery tickets” with a player that has little playing time.

    Bichette and Guerarro can you say Bonds and Canseco

      No.

      They play for the same team, unlike Bonds and Canseco. They play different positions. They have totally different builds. Vladdy will never steal 40 bases and Bo probably won’t hit 40 HR. And they’re not on steroids.
