The Twins are in agreement with reliever Brady Feigl on a minor league contract, as reflected on the MLB.com transaction log. He’ll head to Triple-A St. Paul to begin the season.
Feigl, who turned 34 in December, has pitched professionally for over a decade. He spent time in the Atlanta and Texas farm systems without getting to the majors. Feigl logged a couple years in independent ball and pitched well enough to secure a minor league deal with the Pirates last winter. The 6’4″ southpaw was rewarded for his perseverance with an MLB call last August. He made his debut and pitched in mop-up work against the Cubs, surrendering six runs in 1 2/3 innings.
Pittsburgh designated Feigl for assignment after that lone appearance. They ran him through outright waivers and kept him in Triple-A until he elected minor league free agency at season’s end. While his debut didn’t go as hoped, he had a nice year in the upper minors. Feigl pitched 60 innings of 4.05 ERA ball with a 27.5% strikeout rate. He has a 3.27 ERA across 124 Triple-A frames over parts of four seasons.
Ugh… Who?
Which one?
I thought it was the other one.
The one who’s still pitching?
The one who isn’t related to the other one?
I didn’t have to go far to find this.. hahaha
Good point
Hey my dad’s left handed! He’s also 83 with some breathing trouble, but that seems to be what they’re looking for. I’ll have him call in the morning.
You sure it wasn’t Brady Feigl?
The best part is that even with a perfect explanation and a picture of Brady Feigl, I would still guess the wrong one. It’s flippin’ insane how two guys unrelated with the same name (not a common last name either) can look that much alike.
The only fact crazier than the two Brady Feigl’s for me is that our 10th President of the United States John Tyler’s grandson is still alive today. John Tyler was born in 1790 and his grandson, Harrison Ruffin Tyler is still alive in 2025. That blows my mind! I couldn’t imagine being able to tell somebody my Grandpa was born in the 1700’s.
Tyler was deemed a traitor who joined the Confederate congress but most do not realize that he convened the Peace Convention to try to keep the Civil War( or War Between The States) from starting.
Harrison Ruffin’s brother just died a few years ago.
His father was born in 1856 and his grandfather in 1790.
It is nice to see someone who knows American history.
Those who do not learn from it are doomed to repeat it.
That seals the deal. No other team needs to even show up now. Minnesota is guaranteed the World Series title. This signing is absolutely mind boggling. To be able to just sign a guy like this out of thin air is incredible!!
Getting a good deal dumpster diving is still dumpster diving.
