Minor League Transactions: Jan. 16–29, 2025

0

This installment collects all transactions involving minor league players, i.e. those not on 40-man rosters, for the period Jan. 16–29. As always, transactions are conveyed by Major League Baseball.

Editor’s Note: Some Milwaukee Brewers’ transactions were initially listed under the Miami Marlins. That has been corrected and we apologize for the error.

The abbreviation that follows each player listing refers to his minor league level, either Triple-A (AAA), Double-A (AA), High-A (A+), Low-A (A), Rookie-level Complex League (R) or Dominican Summer League (DSL).
