2016 Minor League Regular Season Transaction Thread

[Mass Haas]

From John Sickels site via Nick Melotte --

 

Milwaukee always seems to hit the same three locales in their Latin scouting, targeting the big two - Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, and also Panama. It's more of the same this year as they have only signed players from those three countries with OF Bryan Dimas being the lone Panamanian. Dimas signed for just $45,000, which is a drop in the bucket for MLB organizations.

 

Dimas' bonus is nothing compared to the deal signed by right hander Yunior Juan (2016 stats at link) though. The 22-year-old Dominican pitcher signed for $0, and no I did not make a typo. Juan did not receive a penny for his services, playing for the love of the game and the opportunity to play baseball for a living.

 

Brewers - C Roberto Molina ($200K)

 

Brewers - RHP Jeison Medina ($50K), and RHP Jose Romero ($10K)
