Finally caught on that they had signed the wrong one?

You mean like the Twins signing this ELIJAH GREENE as a minor league free agent and jettisoning him during spring training...

before realizing that the real ELIJAH GREEN has yet to enter the world of major league baseball drafts?

Have they been assigned to teams yet?

Looks like neither pitched in 2021 nor so far this year.  TJS or similar in both cases?

Both Ryan and Strotman were depth pieces by the Rays and they ultimately needed the 40-man spots for other players. Strotman being one of those that you hope you can use or you will lose sooner rather than later.

 

Teams love to include players in trades who are out-of-options or verging on minor league free agency in their system.

Twins quietly release Drew Strotman. 

The process the Twins used indicated they would have liked to keep him around, but not at the continued expense of a 40-man spot.  I expect the Rangers will conduct a similar charade in the near future.  In any case nobody's just plain releasing him.

If the Rangers remove him from the 40-man (and don't give him a generous off-season contract renewal) he will be a minor league free agent and just walk.

Would that have been the case for the Twins, had he passed through waivers?  I'm not up on the fine points of minor league veteran player rights.

Yes, he would've just become a minor league free agent in the off-season if the Twins had removed him from their 40-man then.

Two more AAA catchers. I think the Twins have addressed the catching depth issue sufficiently.

LaMarre provides a right handed hitting outfielder rated to have a good glove. I think it is okay to have him in AAA for depth, but the upside is limited obviously.

Locke St. John signed to a minor league contract. St. John is a 30-year old left handed relief pitcher who has had a cup of coffee in the majors. He provides more southpaw options along with Coulombe and Moran. The Twins also signed Aaron Sanchez to a minor league deal so they are adding pitching depth.

A lot of ex-Twins have signed minor league contracts. Waiting for Rosterman to update us.

Twins sign RH relief pitcher Connor Sadzeck to a AAA contract. He has 36 innings of experience in the majors, mostly in 2019. He's listed as 6' 7" tall.
