Another day, another set of roster moves. The M’s purchased the contract of Dillon Thomas, the minor league free agent who’s off to a great start in Tacoma. To make room, they’ve DFA’d Jacob Nottingham, who’s now been DFA’d by the Brewers twice, claimed by the M’s twice, traded, and DFA’d by the M’s. Since May 1. Goodness.
Thomas is a great story, a former Rockies farmhand who never quite clicked in parts of seven seasons in the system. He spent most of 2018 with the Texas Air Hogs in Independent ball and went nuts, chasing a triple crown and hitting for power, something he’d never really done in affiliated ball.
