The latest minor moves from around baseball…
- The Minnesota Twins signed right-hander Vinny Nittoli to a minors deal and assigned him to Triple-A St. Paul, per Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com (via Twitter). Nittoli, 30, made his Major League debut earlier this season with the Mariners. He threw one inning, allowing a pair of runs on a pair of walks and a home run. He had a 5.61 ERA in Triple-A over 33 2/3 innings.
- Bo Takahashi has been released from his contract to sign with the Kia Tigers in Korea, per his former club the Louisville Bats. The Bats, of course, are the Triple-A affiliate of the Reds. Takahashi had a 4.45 ERA in 89 innings while serving as a regular starter in Louisville.
