Twins Outright Ronald Torreyes, Activate Adalberto Mejia

By Jeff Todd | July 2, 2019 at 11:47am CDT

The Twins announced today that they have outrighted infielder Ronald Torreyes off of the team’s 40-man roster. His spot was needed for hurler Adalberto Mejia, who was activated from the 60-day injured list.

Mejia is heading back onto the active roster. He’ll take the place of Lewis Thorpe, who was optioned back to Triple-A after showing well in his MLB debut.

Torreyes, 26, hasn’t appeared in the bigs since wrapping up a three-year stint with the Yankees. He has been a high-average, low-power hitter in the bigs but has scuffled this year at Triple-A. The versatile infielder owns only a .179/.219/.358 slash. He has shown a bit of a relative power burst, with five home runs in 114 plate appearances, though that’s a common story in an explosive International League offensive environment.

As for Mejia, he’ll look to get back on track after an ugly opening to the season. He was sidelined for a lengthy stretch with a calf strain. Through 134 innings in parts of four seasons in the majors, he owns a 4.50 ERA with 7.3 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9.

    Just watched him play on Saturday and it really looked like he was turning things around. Hope he latches on somewhere, he was a huge part of the Yankee clubhouse over that three year stint.

      Gotta love when fans comment on clubhouse goings on, like they actually would know. This is another guy that Yankees fans overhyped.

        LOL are you brain-dead? Obviously not a Yankee fan otherwise you would have known this. I want to count how many times I heard what a positive influence he was in the Yankees club house and was even mentioned when he went to the twins and how they would miss him. Do us all a favor take your head out of your rear and don’t talk about things you know absolutely nothing about. We are all dumber for having to listen to you.

          Get off of your high horse goldy. Nobody knows what really goes on in a MLB clubhouse but the players, and staff. Just because you think you’re an insider doesn’t make it so. Geesh the nerve.

          “I want to count how many times I heard what a positive influence he was in the Yankees club house and was even mentioned when he went to the twins and how they would miss him” So start counting and get back to us on the total, because I’m sure everyone will be waiting.

    Torreyes was productive offensively and defensively. Don’t need to hype, the numbers are there for anyone to check out. Yankees’ fans like him because he produced.

      Never had a .700 OPS with the Yankees, and he had -5 DRS. He is more of a replacement level player. They liked him cause he was a good guy to have around, not because of production.

      “Don’t need to hype, the numbers are there for anyone to checkout” So much so he’s been released by 3 teams.

    I don’t understand what the Twins think they might have with Mejia. He’s got 4 pitches, but they’re all average to below average offerings. Fastball, slider, curveball and changeup. None of them is a plus pitch.

    Basically, Mejia is a fly ball pitcher who struggles to throw strikes and doesn’t entice hitters to chase out of the zone. I suppose he might be an okay middle relief arm out of the bullpen, but the Twins continue to waste time on guys with little to no potential while stashing players who have upside and already started their clocks. It leads to a never ending logjam.

      Adalberto Mejia. Age 26 MLB Career ERA 4.50 in 25 starts over 38 MLB Appearances.

      0.00 ERA in 6 rehab starts in 6 minor league games in 2019..

      The Twins have 3 openings in the 2020 rotation, with 3 starters leaving due to Free Agency after 2019.

    Looking forward to seeing Mejia getting a start against the surging Rangers. Mejia could be a big part in the REPEAT World Series win for the Twins in 2020.

      Mejia isn’t expected to be a true starter, at least certainly not in 2019. He’ll be pitching out of the bullpen. The only games he started in the minors were as an opener and he hasn’t pitched more than 2.1 innings in any of the 17 appearances in MiLB or MLB this year.

        Mejia has been a starter his entire career this year the exception. In spring training he lost out on the 5th spot to Martin Perez. Was set to be the long relief guy, but injuries have slowed him this year. Him or Littell hopefully get the start on Sunday for Odo. Enjoy seeing the younger guys getting spot starts
