Tuesday’s minor moves from around baseball…
- The Braves have agreed to a minor league contract with outfielder Travis Snider, Jon Heyman of MLB Network tweets. The former Blue Jay will now reunite with Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos, who was the GM in Toronto during part of Snider’s tenure there. Snider was a star prospect early in his Jays tenure but hasn’t lived up to the hype in the majors. The 33-year-old owns a .244/.311/.399 line with 54 home runs in 1,971 plate appearances, and he hasn’t appeared in the bigs since he split 2015 between Pittsburgh and Baltimore.
- The Mariners announced that they have outrighted Robert Dugger to Triple-A. The team designated the right-hander for assignment last week, which came a little over two months after it claimed him off waivers from the Marlins in December. Dugger, 25, pitched to a 7.40 ERA with a similarly poor 4.2 K-BB percentage in 45 innings as a Marlin from 2019-20. He’ll remain with the M’s as depth for at least the time being.

7 years on the pros and baseball reference can’t find a better picture of Travis Snider? Or did he just hate life??

You made me look! Now I can never unsee it again!
Maybe that “whatever” smirk affected his batting skills!!??
Curious: who’s team logo is on the cap? It is most underwhelming…..

Looks like the 04-11 Toronto logo.

If he was still gutting it out on the cheap for some independent league team, then that would be worth noting, but it’s kind of a no-brainer if someone’s still willing to pay you $600K to play baseball unless you made a lot more money during your career than Snider did.

Lunch Box still hanging around!

For some reason when I saw his name I thought of Travis Hafner instead.

I was wondering what happened to Lunchbox the other day.
He had a fine 2014 for the Pirates but fell off the map after they traded him to the Orioles for Brault and Tarpley.

It’s what the Pirates do best…..

Jorge-I agree.Brault is coming around well and I think that Tarpley was involved in the Nova trade.
