Astros Transaction Update: 3/28

As we last checked in on the Astros transaction front, LHP Kevin Chapman was being claimed off waivers by the Braves. Let's see what has transpired since then.

3-26: C Tyler Heineman traded to the Brewers for a PTBNL or cash (8th round 2012, UCLA)
3-25: LHP C.J. Riefenhauser released (signed as a MiLB free agent in December 2016)
3-22: RHP Fabricio Reina - 17-year old (unknown country of origin)
3-21: C Max Stassi cleared waivers and was outrighted to AAA Fresno

We at WTHB sincerely wish official Friend of the Blog Tyler Heineman the best of luck as he continues his baseball journey with the Brewers. Tyler has always been the most gracious in offering up his time to talk and has never been anything less than candid, honest and humble. He is an artist, a magician and a very good ballplayer. He will be missed. Here's my favorite picture of Tyler from the years that I've known him.
