Catching Up On Transactions

Catching Up On Transactions
While others were hitting refresh on the Washington MLB.com 40-man roster yesterday, confirming that the Michael Taylor era has begun (as well as yet another Rizzo-era Arizona draftee making the cut), we were scanning the wires for the latest moves in the minors…

SYRACUSE
• Released C Omir Santos

GCL Nationals
• Released RHP John Costa

DSL Nationals
• LHP Isaias Silfa retired

Admittedly, it’s not much. Santos hadn’t been more than a backup since 2009 and played just 11 games in 2014. Costa was drafted in the 13th round in June 2013 as a TJS gamble that didn’t pan out (yes, it happens). Silfa appeared in one (1) DSL game last summer as a 20-y.o. lefthander and finishes with a career 0.00 ERA (and a 9.00 BB, K, and HBP per 9IP).

Should the Baseball America weekly dispatch include others not listed here, this space will be updated. Otherwise, we await the release of the rosters tomorrow and Wednesday.

10 Commments

  1. Thanks, Luke. Always glad when the new list of released players comes out and I don’t know them. 🙂

      1. Glad to see Cutter and Martinson in Cuse to balance
        Out all the LH bats. Maybe Martinson can play some
        Outfield against a tough lefty
        XST question : Lisson , Jeroloman and others
        Are like in the in transit area in big airport. Just waiting for
        Their next destination via trade or injuries?
        Should be a long XST list with not all Auburn guys
        Making Hagerstown ?

  3. Carp just refused to go to Syracuse; I’m sure he felt the offers would be coming fast & furious after his Espinosa-like hitting performance this spring.
    That should settle the picture for Syracuse.

    1. Skill is typing in smart phone with 3 year old Boston
      Terrier on other arm.
      Ty luke for going out on limb with some promotions
      Ramsey should be a fun guy to follow evenif he is daubach
      Disciple .
      Heading to Hagerstown Catina team meet tonight
      I expect a few more auburn kids like Langlois
      And the cool Latin swinger ED. Even Fred and a couple of
      GCL kids
      MASN didnot add Homer Simpson ugh audio
      For Uggla keystone cop pop up! Lol

  5. Rosters are up, folks. No Lucas giolito, twinkle toes fans. Stashing him in viera to save innings. Beat writers will get early info. Luke will drop #thestraightdope. I’ll clown everybody!

  6. Here’s a link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/nationals-journal/wp/2015/04/07/minor-league-rosters-released-lucas-giolito-reynaldo-lopez-not-at-class-a-potomac-yet/

    A number of the pitchers are staying in Viera, including Giolito, Lopez, Solis, and Purke. On first glance, there aren’t many surprises, or many cuts of guys we speculated might be on the chopping block. Make the most of this chance, guys! I’m a little surprised that Skole is still at Harrisburg, but I guess they’re getting 3B time for Stewart in Syracuse.

    Has anyone seen anything about Goodwin’s condition? It’s worrisome that he wasn’t able to play any during the spring.
