Tonight's minor signings can all be found right here…
- Brooks Conrad has signed a contract with the Hanshin Tigers, according to a Sponichi report (Japanese link). Conrad hit just .131/.181/.306 in 105 plate appearances between the Brewers and Rays this season.
- The Braves have signed Wirfin Obispo to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (on Twitter). The 28-year-old right-hander pitched to a 3.00 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 in 96 innings between the Reds' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates.
Chances are Brooks Conrad with a .300 ba in Japan…. Best of luck!
I thought this was funny in the google translation of the japanese link.
“In the hustle play also features such as sliding head, is expected to be a mood maker”
Didn’t Obispo pitch for the Fighters 2 years ago? I seem to recall him and Darvish having issues with each other.
