Matt Eddy of Baseball America has a complete breakdown of the latest minor league transactions. Here are some highlights…
- The Cubs released right-hander Frankie de la Cruz, Eddy reports. The 28-year-old posted a 3.80 ERA with more walks (58) than strikeouts (57) in 94 2/3 innings as a starter and reliever at Triple-A this year. Chicago had claimed him off of waivers from the Brewers in March.
- The Rangers signed veteran catcher Koyie Hill, Eddy reports. The Nationals recently released Hill, who appeared in 11 games with the Cubs this year.
Dempster’s little puppet
That’s the second catcher from the Cubs with a <.200 average that the Rangers signed…
That’s the 5th organization Hill has been with this year. I wonder what the record is?
