Twins Sign Ian Krol

By Connor Byrne | June 18, 2019 at 3:44pm CDT

The Twins have signed left-hander Ian Krol to a minor league contract, according to Nate Rowan, Triple-A Rochester’s director of communications. Krol has already joined Rochester’s roster.

The 28-year-old Krol was previously with the Reds, who inked him to a minors deal over the winter. He threw 25 1/3 innings with their Triple-A affiliate in Louisville this season and managed a subpar 5.33 ERA/4.08 FIP with 9.95 K/9, 4.26 BB/9 and a 41.4 percent groundball rate. Krol has typically prevented runs at a much better clip in Triple-A ball, having combined for a 3.35 ERA with 10.1 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 across 137 innings.

Of course, the hope for the Twins is that Krol will thrive in the minors and work his way to their bullpen. Krol was a viable major leaguer as recently as 2016, when he pitched to a 3.18 ERA/2.91 FIP with 9.88 K/9, 2.29 BB/9 and a 56 percent grounder rate in 51 innings as part of the Braves’ relief corps. But Krol otherwise hasn’t experienced a ton of big league success. Also a former National, Tiger and Angel, Krol has registered a 4.50 ERA/4.43 FIP with 8.43 K/9, 3.46 BB/9 and a 45.2 percent GB mark in 190 innings at the sport’s top level.

          Yea because we need to rush trades right now when their value is higher instead of waiting for teams to get desperate at the deadline, good thinking.

    Being a twins fan is the most frustrating thing in the world. Even with their best season in recent memory and vying for the best record in the league all season thus far… they sign a guy that they have to stick in AAA and HOPE he can help with the bullpen? It’s time to pony up and make some real moves towards improving this team’s chance at ADVANCING in the playoffs

    It completely baffles me how quickly people turn on GM’s because they aren’t making the moves “you” want. These 2 guys have been amazing for the twins organization since they came here. They have made great moves with Cron, Schoop, Gonzalez, some pitching. Yes, they need bullpen help and even a starter wouldn’t be a bad idea and everyone knows that. All of these teams that are going to be sellers know that we need bullpen help as well as a potential starter and because of that they have the leverage and are probably asking for people that are off limits. This team is still in the top 3 teams in the league with what we currently have rostered and they’re holding their own. Let’s make smart trades that will help us now and the future instead of blowing up our whole farm system to make hasty trades. We have 6 weeks until the deadline and we’re currently tied to a few high tier players. Let’s see what they do and give them a chance.

      I should also say that they locked up Kepler and Polanco on insane bargain deals for the next 5 years. I would guess that Rosario, Buxton and Berrios are next. Sano IMO has some work to do to get back to the level he was at 2 years ago to get the contract he might think he’s worth.
