Dusty Ryan – MLB Trade Rumors https://www.mlbtraderumors.com Mon, 06 Dec 2010 21:21:30 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 Minor Deals: Adams, Ryan, Bass, Santos https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/12/minor-deals-mets-bass-santos.html https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/12/minor-deals-mets-bass-santos.html#respond Mon, 06 Dec 2010 21:21:30 +0000 http://localhost/mlbtraderumors/2010/12/minor-deals-mets-bass-santos.html We've seen our share of major moves since yesterday, but the minor deals keep streaming in, too. Here they are:

  • The Mets signed Russ Adams and Dusty Ryan to minor league contracts, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. The Blue Jays made Adams their first round pick in 2002, but he disappointed in parts of five seasons in Toronto, batting .247/.313/.372. The Blue Jays drafted Adams as a shortstop, but he has big league experience at second base and in left field. Ryan, 26, batted .199/.333/.349 for the Padres' Triple-A affiliate in 2010. He had cameos with the Tigers in 2008 and 2009.
  • Oddly enough, the Tigers signed a former Mets backstop today. MLB.com's Jason Beck reports that Detroit added Omir Santos on a minor league deal (Twitter link). The 29-year-old last appeared in the majors on the 2009 Mets.
  • The Phillies signed right-hander Brian Bass, according to Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer (on Twitter). The 28-year-old has a 5.16 ERA with 5.1 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 in 183 major league innings.

Ryan, 25, hit .257/.359/.455 in 235 Triple A plate appearances this year.  Heading into the season, Baseball America spoke of Ryan's "prodigious raw power" and "plus-plus arm," but considered his receiving skills a work in progress.
