Since the signings (or almost signings) seems to have slowed, let’s have one of these.
Gregory Owen Zaun | C | 2004 - 2008
Let’s put it right at the top..this is for his playing, not his baseball commentary.
Greg Zaun was born April 14, 1971, in Glendale, California. He is the nephew of former major league catcher Rick Dempsey. Baltimore drafted him in the 17th round of the 1989 draft.
Zaun made it to the majors with the Orioles in 1995. They traded him to the Marlins in August 1996. From there, he was traded to the Rangers in 1998. The Rangers included him in a 9-player trade to the Tigers in 1999. Going to the Tigers were Zaun, Juan Gonzalez, and Danny Patterson. The Rangers got Frank Catalanotto, Frank Francisco, Bill Haselman, Gabe Kapler, Justin Thompson, and Alan Webb. The Tigers traded him to Kansas City in the spring of 2000.

I’m likely to say this a lot, but we have another of my favorites.
Reed Johnson was born December 8, 1976, in Riverside, CA. The
Blue Jays drafted him in the 17th round of the 1999 amateur draft out of Cal State Fullerton, where he was named an Academic All-American and played baseball and soccer. Players drafted in the 17th round have to work harder to make it to the majors, and Reed worked as hard as any major leaguer. His high socks, great defense, hustle, and willingness to take one for the team made him a fan favorite in Toronto.
30 years ago today,
John Cerutti was newly a free agent by virtue of having not been tendered a 1991 contract by the Blue Jays before the midnight December 20/21 deadline to do so. As a result, Cerutti holds the distinction of being the first player in franchise history to be non-tendered, a list which has expanded over the years and earlier this month reached 25 when A.J. Cole and Travis Shaw became the latest.
Interestingly, though non-tenders for economic reasons began to occur as a strategy by the mid-1980s to counter players receiving huge raises through the arbitration process from the 1970s onward, that was not at all the case here. The Blue Jays were actually doing him a favour.
