The Boston Red Sox has agreed with 3B Mike Olt to a minor league deal.
Olt was another of those super prospects (2010, 1st Rd, Texas) that just hasn't panned out. Strikes out 37%. .168 (5-seasons) lifetime MLB BA. A mess. I will never figure out why these guys miss so badly.
The Yanks resigned P C.C. Sabathia to a 1-year deal.
Well, at Sandy's age it's important he's well rested, right?
ReplyDeleteMike Olt was one of the rumored prospects mentioned when Mets were trading either Beltran or Dickey. He was definitely on the table and a consideration. I want to say he was with Texas at the time and it was when Sandy was shopping R.A., but I couldn't swear to it.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show you: bah, prospects!
