We'll keep track of the day's minor league deals right here:
- The Yankees have signed left-hander Brad Halsey to a minor league contract, according to the AP (via the Washington Post). Halsey began his MLB career with the Yankees, who drafted him in 2002, but he hasn't appeared in a big league game since 2006. The 30-year-old has a 4.84 ERA with 5.0 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 286 1/3 career innings for the Yankees, Diamondbacks and Athletics.
- The Padres signed Alex Cintron to a minor league deal, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (on Twitter). Cintron, 32, last appeared in the big leagues as a member of the 2009 Nationals. The nine-year veteran has a .275/.313/.394 line and experience at every infield position. He played for the Mets' Triple-A affiliate last year.
I recall Hallsey’s first major league start. It was againist the Red Sox and he pitched well, left the game winning and the bullpen blew his win. After that, it went downhill.Good luck the second time around.
I remember him, too. He was one of the parts of the not-too-successful Randy Johnson deal.
2005 is stoked
