Transaction Update

The second transaction update of the 2021-22 offseason just dropped yesterday from the Boys in Durham:

RE-SIGNED
● LHP Luis Avilan

SIGNED
● RHP Erik Manoah
● 1B Joey Meneses
● 2B Dee Strange-Gordon
● 3B Maikel Franco
● OF Mitch Longo

RELEASED
● LHP Sean Nolin
● IF Corban Joseph

As is often the case, most of the signs are with an eye towards AAA and an emergency option at the majors. As such, many of these have already been covered by the beat writers thanks to the lockout.

Nolin is one several AAAA-types that have signed to play overseas (Korea) because, well, bird in hand…yada yada yada. I suspect there will be more, especially if spring training is delayed.

We now return you to your January loathing…

9 Commments

  1. Between the two who parks at Harrisburg to begin the season – Longo or Canning
    Sens should have Antuna , Rhinesmith, Connell, Gregor Mendez Blanco lol, along with Longo or Canning
    Rochester is another animal ?
    Casey , Fox , Canning (?), Freeman .. or with a good spring could Rhinesmith bump up to AAA?

    1. Wow the Nats signed a pitcher out of all places – Panama
      2 catchers
      A 2b, SS and an infielder with no specific designation

  3. Anyone wondering where Seth Romero is? Check out the Washington post story.
    It’s time they unload him!

  4. Pal Joey @ ROCH could put up some interesting numbers .
    Maybe his swing fits Nats park with that RF doubles breeze ..

  5. Yeah, drunk driving was one of the last unchecked boxes for screwing up a career.
    It’s obvious no one with a brain interviewed him before the draft as he arrived on the scene with the maturity level of a 14 year old. And it hasn’t improved a whole lot since then.

    Not to mention Scott Boras scammed the Nats in to paying over slot to sign him.

  8. Okay, the numbers are in. The Nats signed 10 players; 2 Cubans, 7 Dominicans, and a Panamanian.

    They had a bonus pool of $5.1 million, and spent $4.9 of it on Vaquero. That makes the rest of them very long shots as they signed for about $1.50.
