elrockinMT Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) MLB Trade Rumors Minor MLB Transactions: 11/27/15 By Steve Adams | November 27, 2015 at 1:45pm CST Here are today’s minor transactions from around the league… 1 COMMENT Dayan Viciedo, Jordan Norberto In Talks With NPB’s Chunichi Dragons By Steve Adams | November 27, 2015 at 12:06pm CST Outfielder Dayan Viciedo and left-handed reliever Jordan Norberto are nearing contracts with the Chunichi Dragons of Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball, according to a report from Japanese media outlet Sankei Sports (h/t: NPB Tracker’s Patrick Newman, on Twitter). As Newman notes, signing Viciedo would mean that the Dragons will not retain former big league infielder Hector Luna, who has spent the past three seasons with the team. Viciedo, who will turn 27 in March, did not play in the Majors in 2015 after being released by the White Sox last winter. He spent Spring Training with the Blue Jays after signing a minor league pact but did not make the team, leading to another release, after which he signed a minor league deal with the Athletics. Viciedo split the 2015 season between the Triple-A affiliates for the A’s and the White Sox, who re-signed him on a minor league deal after Oakland cut him loose after 30 games. In 66 total contests at the Triple-A level last season, Viciedo hit .287/.348/.450. Of course, he also has extensive Major League experience as well, having served as a corner outfielder and DH for the White Sox for the better part of five years from 2010-14. Viciedo came to the Sox on a four-year, $10MM deal after defecting from Cuba but never lived up to the lofty expectations many carried for him, as he batted .254/.298/.424 in 483 Major League games.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Watch him go over there and hit .300 with 30+ homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Not part of the plan? He'll make far more money in Japan than he would as a AAAA player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 08:19 PM) Watch him go over there and hit .300 with 30+ homers. I would guess he will clean up over there. He might try to come back to the MLB after a few seasons if he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Great move by Viciedo. He might hit 50 home runs over there. He's not a MLB caliber player. Horrible on defense. Uncoachable on offense. Tries to hit HR on every pitch; never walks. Bye bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
