The Twins have agreed to a deal with Derek Law, the righty himself announced on Twitter. Details aren’t yet known, but it seems likely to be a minors pact with an invitation to Spring Training.
Law, 30, cracked the majors in 2016 and appeared in each of the ensuing three campaigns. That run came to an end in 2020, when he spent the year training with the Rangers as part of their 60-man player pool.
Though he found quite a lot of success in his debut season with the Giants, Law struggled to replicate it. He was entrusted with 58 appearances for the Blue Jays in 2019, but managed only a 4.90 ERA with 9.9 K/9 and 5.9 BB/9 over 60 2/3 innings of action.
Get ready for the puns with his name…
Derek is here to lay down the law against AL Central.
Sadly, he is know as Derek the Law of Averages
Lol geg, it might now be the Law of Diminishing Returns?
There won’t be much of a need for Law once Minneapolis abolishes the police, so he better have a great year until then. Then they can trade him to Texas so he can be a Ranger after that.
It’s against the Law to make Law puns in this comment section
Dewey, Cheatem & Howe. Never mind, that’s a Houston firm.
Do you think they strike oil with this Derek?
Where we come from, the Saw is the Law.

I see that you are a Whitechapel fan too! “An addict you all to this deep south heat.”
The Hot stove is sizzling
Like a fresh Duce
Lmao!
Crappy pitcher.
Go twins
Love the heart fella… gotta respect that you’re keeping it positive!
he couldn’t get it done against the Cubs in the 2016 playoffs – game 4 when Cubs came back down 5-2 in the 9th
many thought ( including Joe Madden) if the Giants would’ve won that game 4
– they would’ve had a good chance of beating the Cubs in game five
That game was on Bochy if anyone. Should’ve kept in Matt Moore who was mowing down the Cubs lineup in the later half of that game
Didn’t he have around 120 pitches?
Don’t exactly remember the pitch count, imo still better to keep the pitcher who’s been dominant until at the very least he gives up a base runner. Then, you give the ball to the established closer (Romo), who had a great season in 2016, rather than the young rookie (Law)
Ha I thought it said Derek Lee at first glance.
He has decided to come out of retirement to be a mediocre relief pitcher! (Jose Bautista)
He recently turned 45 but the arm is fresh!
No he hasn’t.
Him and Cliff Floyd are coming back
My man Floyd still receiving checks like he’s playing anyway – so he might as well.
He was lights out for the Jays a few times. Other times, not so much….
About 5 times out of 58.
Don’t know why it posted twice
I honestly don’t recognize him, maybe he has the high spin rate potential ala Matt Wisler they are hoping to harness.
Always been a fan. Started with the Giants and good bloodline.
However, he’s not related to Keith Law, no matter how much Keith Law wishes he was related to Derek Law.
He’s going to throw BP.
