Minor League Transactions



This time: Sept. 21-27
Previous installment:
Sept. 14-20

A typically light week for transactions finds most clubs emptying the contents of their disabled lists. Elsewhere, a few organizations re-sign players to minor league deals, while in the background, players return from their month-long sojourn to Europe for the World Cup.

Check out the Transactions Glossary for the key to deciphering the various inactive lists presented here.

This came in handy.  I was able to see numerous minor leaguers that did not play in 2009, listed here as being on the DL.  At least I know these guys are still with their clubs now, and not free agents.  thanks
