Though it may be the smallest transactions window ever, Dec. 12-14, plenty of moves were made.
Last week’s transactions available here.
Baltimore Orioles
Signed: RHP Cory Doyne, RHP Roberto Novoa
Released: RHP Zach Cole, RHP Josh Potter, RHP Ezequiel Selen, LHP Mark Horner
Traded: SS Miguel Tejada to Astros for RHP Matt Albers, RHP Dennis Sarfate, LHP Troy Patton, 3B Mike Costanzo and OF Luke Scott
Cincinnati Reds
Signed: RHP Brad Salmon, SS Jerry Gil
Traded: C Tyler Hauschild to Rays for future considerations
Gil and Salmon were non-tendered last week but agreed to come back on minor league deals.
Cleveland Indians
Outrighted off 40-man roster: RHP J.D. Martin
Despite being a supplemental first-round pick in 2001 from a California high school, Martin hasn’t spent significant time above A ball. He was pretty good in his 19 Double-A starts, though, posting a 3.18 ERA, striking out 86 and walking 24 in 99 innings. Martin was shut down in 2003 with a strained elbow ligament and initially avoided surgery, but he finally had Tommy John surgery in 2005, then missed much of the 2006 season rehabbing. He bounced back to go 2-3, 4.25 in 42 innings for Double-A Akron last season.
Chicago White Sox
Released: RHP Kris Honel
Reinstated from inactive list: RHP Kris Honel
Another high-profile high school pitcher from the 2001 draft who flamed out, Honel has at least spent the majority of his pro career at Double-A Birmingham, where he’s gone a miserable 8-10, 5.81 with 134-127 K-BB in 172 innings. The 16th overall pick from a suburban Chicago private school, Honel has missed large swaths of every season since 2004 with serious—but publicly undiagnosed—arm ailments.
Detroit Tigers
Signed: LHP Ian Ostlund
Florida Marlins
Signed: RHP Joe Nelson
Houston Astros
Released: LHP Kevin Fox, SS Tim Johnson, SS Eric King
