Done deal, minor league deal with a spring training invite.  I bet Nunez was ticked about no NL DH.

Tigers signed 1B/DH Renato Nunez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Nunez was released by the Orioles back in late November despite registering an impressive .816 OPS with 12 home runs and 31 RBI over 52 games for Baltimore during the truncated 2020 campaign. The 26-year-old should get regular playing time this season in Detroit between first base and the designated hitter role.

One ex-Oriole in, one ex-Oriole out:

 

Mets designated RHP Brad Brach for assignment. 

It clears room on the 40-man roster for Jonathan Villar, who signed on Thursday. The right-hander exercised his $2.075 million option for 2021, but he'll get that money without playing for the Mets, it looks like. He struggled last year with a 5.84 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 12 1/3 innings, but his previous success likely means he'll find a new home shortly.

The Mets may become a real force with their new owner.    He’s a smart and pretty ruthless financial guy, with a lot more money than the Wilpons had.   Wouldn’t be surprised to see them become a top franchise.   

I'm encouraged that he didn't just start throwing money around.

Mike Wright is back in the states:
 

White Sox signed RHP Mike Wright to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The 31-year-old hurler spent the 2020 season pitching for the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization, registering a 4.68 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 125/63 K/BB ratio over 157 2/3 innings (29 starts). He'll provide organizational depth in the starting rotation for the White Sox.

Brach landed in KC.

Royals signed RHP Brad Brach to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Brach quickly found a new home after being cut loose by the Mets last week. The veteran reliever struggled last year with a 5.84 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 12 1/3 innings, but he has a strong track record and makes for useful depth in camp.

    • I was listening to a Fox Sports Radio broadcast (sorry, can't remember who it was). They put the teams into tiers. The O's were in the top tier along with the Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies. I don't know how long it's been that during the season, someone would have called us top tier. And to think, this is happening with two of our starters out for the year and Bradish and Kremer have spent time on the IL. We are doing this with Hays, Mullins, Urias and Santander starting the season on an extreme slump. We have done this with Mateo starting almost every day (which most people thought would be a horrible thing). We have done this with a bullpen that has been very inconsistent. Imagine if we get some of this stuff fixed and some people back to just playing to their career averages. 
    • I'm not sure what we are doing with Vieira. I figured the trade was about the prospect and they had to take him and his salary to make it happen. I expected him to be DFA right away and they would try to send him to the minors to work on him. 
    • What would differentiate them? 
    • Btw, in the 4 game series against the Jays last year (July 31-Aug. 3rd), it is insane that Mountcastle hit for an .846(!) avg with an OPS of 1.932!  
    • Vieira doesn’t have options.  
    • May 2024 This month, two non-prospects were obvious choices for MiL Plsyer and Pitcher of the Month: Player of the Month 28-year old Daniel Johnson led the org in SLG, OPS, HR (tie) and RBI.  He hit .350/.439/.725 with 6 HR and 23 RBI pm In the prospect division, I’m going with 19-year old Leandro Arias, .333/.400/.667 with 3 HR and 13 RBI in 16 games.   Honorable mentions to Ellis Cuevas at .992 OPS, Heston Kjerstad .964 with 14 RBI in 16 games after returning to the minors, and Stiven Acevedo at .953.   Pitcher of the Month In between stinking up the major leagues, 27-year old Jonathan Heasley pitched 16 scoreless innings with an 0.813 WHIP. In the prospect division, 21-year old Edgar Portes pitched to an 0.42 ERA in 20.2 innings, with an 0.919 WHIP and 11.8 K/9.   Honorable mentions: Eccel Correa 0.96 ERA in 18.2 IP, and Trey Gibson with a 1.76 ERA, 1.044 WHIP, and 15.3 K/9 in 15.1 IP.
