Kevin Comer, who spent 6 years in the org and last year pitched at AAA in the Tigers system, signed a minor league deal with the Twins.

Lefty Chris Nunn, who pitched in 15 games for CC and Fresno last year before getting released, was signed by the Rangers after a video went viral on twitter showing him throwing 97-99 in a workout. He's apparently pain-free after a left hip problem affected his mechanics for several years. Nice story.

Thanks for posting.

Jason Martin got the call up for the Pirates today. The Cole trade is looking like a win for both sides.

Jacob Nix, who had agreed terms with the Astros in 2014 then did not sign due to the Aiken kerfluffle, is now with the Padres in the AFL.
Well, he may not be with the Padres much longer after a homeowner tazed Nix breaking in through his doggie door:
