Minor League Transactions: Sept. 9-15

The first wave of players to forego minor league free agency and sign 2017 contracts with their current organizations are included in this report. Such players are noted here with the “re-signed” designation.

The full roster of minor league free agents will be determined five days after the conclusion of the World Series, so players and teams still have a month to come to terms for 2017.
