MLB.com's beat reporters have been digging up details on some recent minor league deals. Here are the latest updates:
- Robinson Tejeda will earn $825K if he makes the Indians' roster and can earn $50K for pitching in 50 games, 55 games, 60 games and 65 games, Jordan Bastian tweets. Tejeda would earn a $100K bonus for pitching in 70 games.
- Aaron Laffey will earn $800K if he makes the Blue Jays, Gregor Chisholm tweets. Brian Bocock would earn $480K at the Major League level.
- Todd Zolecki has the details on the Phillies' deals with Dontrelle Willis and Luis Montanez. Willis has many incentives, including bonuses for winning the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger.
- Jenifer Langosch reports what Anderson Hernandez ($500K), Logan Kensing ($675K) and Jose Morales ($650K) will earn if they make the Pirates' roster.
the phillies do realize that Willis is a lefty specialist right?
Pitchers get Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers too. Him and Big Z should have a pretty good competition for Silver Slugger.
he would have to hit first.
Who would?
Willis. He’s in the bullpen. Why would he be hitting?
He may get some pinch hits as well. Both Phillies LOOGYs can hit. Savery and DTrain.
way to waste young talent: sign with the Mets!
The only chance any of those three guys have of making the Pirates roster is if Michael McKenry or Rod Barajas gets hurt. So Jose Morales possibly, and that’s all. They may even use Tony Sanchez if Barajas gets hurt. Jake Fox could catch too if they needed him.
Morales is the only catcher of the three. I doubt catcher’s getting hurt have any effect on Kensing, a pitcher, or Hernandez, a middle infielder.
As a Red fan here is hoping ex-Red doesnt make Jocketty look bad.
