Twins Sign Carlos Torres

By Connor Byrne | June 25, 2019 at 3:05pm CDT

The Twins have signed free-agent right-hander Carlos Torres to a minor league contract, MLBTR’s Steve Adams tweets.

Torres will now stay in the American League Central, where he spent the previous month before the Tigers designated him for assignment this past weekend. The 36-year-old could have stayed in the Detroit organization after clearing waivers, but he elected for free agency on Monday. It proved to be a good decision for Torres, who quickly found another opportunity.

Torres totaled six innings with the Tigers before they cut the cord on him, allowing five earned runs on nine hits (two home runs) with one walk against eight strikeouts. Also a former National, White Sox, Rockie, Met and Brewer, Torres has recorded a 4.09 ERA/4.23 FIP with 7.94 K/9, 3.41 BB/9 and a 44.3 percent groundball rate in 506 2/3 innings in the majors. Although he hasn’t logged much major league experience since 2017 in Milwaukee, he’ll try to catch on with a contending Twins team.

    Starting to get a little worried that Falvey is gonna be relying on these minor league signings to fix the bullpen rather than trades…

      They will. They need depth at Rochester.

    If Detroit doesn’t want him, we don’t need him.

        Are we still referring to Carlos Torres? He was batting practice in MoTown.

    Signing all of these re-tread pitchers shows a real lack of depth in the organization of healthy and major league ready pitchers. Even if they trade for good pitchers at the deadline they still have no one backing them up if anyone else gets hurt.

    Keep signing these non-roster, former MLB reclamation projects and throwing them against the AAA Wall. A couple of them will have to stick! Is Trevor Rosenthal next?
