Twins Outright Three Players

By Jeff Todd | October 28, 2019 at 3:45pm CDT

The Twins have outrighted three players, as Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press was among those to cover on Twitter. Outfielders Ian Miller and Ryan LaMarre join infielder Ronald Torreyes in departing the Minnesota 40-man roster.

Miller is the only one of the three players who won’t have the right to elect free agency if he clears waivers, though he’ll qualify for minor-league free agency soon thereafter. The speedy Wagner College product received his first MLB cup of coffee this season with the Twins, but spent most of the season at Triple-A. Over 514 total plate appearances (including his time with the Mariners organization before a mid-season swap), Miller slashed .264/.346/.431 with  35 steals and a career-high 11 home runs.

The 30-year-old LaMarre has seen time in each of the past five MLB seasons, though the former second-round pick only has 246 total plate appearances at the game’s highest level. He carries a tepid .236/.286/.338 batting line in that span. LaMarre was hitting well at Triple-A with the Braves organization before his trade in September, turning in a .311/.380/.477 slash over 455 plate appearances.

As for Torreyes, who has also appeared in each of the past five big-league campaigns, the opportunities were hard to come by in Minnesota. With a few other infield options bypassing him on the roster, he spent most of the year at Triple-A, where he slashed just .256/.289/.406 but did manage a career-high 11 long balls (as did quite a few other players this year in the suddenly offensively charged International League).

      This guy isn’t even good enough for Japan or Korea.

    Torreyes will probably opt out…..a lot of teams need utility infielders for the bench

    I’m pretty sure Miller can become a free agent after the world series. He was drafted in 2013

      This is correct, as he is eligible for minor league free agency after being on a minor league roster for seven seasons.

    I can think of a few more they can outright….Hildenberger, Poppen, Harper, Gonsalves and Stewart.
