Twins Outright Anthony Recker

By Jeff Todd | July 28, 2017 at 12:34pm CDT

The Twins have outrighted veteran catcher Anthony Recker off of the team’s 40-man roster, as LaVelle E. Neal III of the Star Tribune tweets. It is not clear if the team anticipates a corresponding move at this time.

Recker, 33, went to Minnesota along with Jaime Garcia just days ago. Since that time, it seems, the club may have reevaluated its deadline posture, though perhaps it was never anticipated that Recker would necessarily hold down a roster spot for the rest of the year.

As he has previously been outrighted (including once this year), Recker can elect free agency rather than taking the assignment. His priority will surely be finding a place where he can obtain another opportunity in the majors; after a nice run in 2016, he has received just seven MLB plate appearances this season.

For Minnesota, Recker becomes the second backstop to depart the organization in short order, as John Ryan Murphy was dealt away yesterday. With today’s move, the Twins now have a pair of open 40-man spot, as Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press tweets.

    Really the prototypical strikeout-or-HR type of player…he was all-or-nothing with the Mets

    Twins now have 38 guys on the 40 man roster. Have to assume they are clearing space for a trade.

      Agreed, or some call ups, plenty of talent not on 40 man

    It’ll be funny if the Twins do end up trading Jaime Garcia like the rumors suggest is possible since they’ll have gotten rid of both players they acquired in just a few days

    Looks like Twins are lining up to trade Dozier, Garcia, Kinsler, and Garcia for players that are near major league ready requiring several roster spots. They also will be adding a couple from their minor league system soon.

    I always thought Recker was a great backup catcher and pinch hitter. I’d like to see him come back to Atlanta if they deal Suzuki. Of course, I’d rather have Suzuki over Recker, but Suzuki’s trade value is about as high as it’s going to get right now.

      But can he come in out of the pen? Gimenez has the second catcher slot held down pretty well.
