October 24, 201412 yr Rhett Bollinger @RhettBollinger · 2m2 minutes ago The 7 Minor League deals are Hamburger, Tony Thomas, Danny Ortiz, Reynaldo Rodriguez, Michael Gonzales, Adrian Salcedo & Jairo Rodriguez.
October 24, 201412 yr No Guerra? If not, the book on the Johan Santana trade has now officially been closed.
October 25, 201412 yr No Guerra? If not, the book on the Johan Santana trade has now officially been closed.The book should close when the control of all players involved ended. I think it closed following 2013 for Guerra and Gomez. At the time of the trade they had team control through that point. In this case, a good trade. A year of Santana (and the supplemental pick had they kept him and lost him to free agency) for 6 of Gomez. The failure was in recognizing and developing his talent.

October 25, 201412 yr It all depends on what they are offered to resign, too. Maybe the dollars are significantly greener for some players or positions elsewhere. I would've thought the Twins might've 40-manned Guerra. They still could, although he has burned thru at least two of his option years, if not three. These are guys that were told they weren't going to be added to the 40-man, but we still want you to develop with our organization. All except Hamburger will play at a higher level next year...Hamburger having to consider do I want to relieve or start, which won't be decided until spring training ends.
November 17, 201411 yr Per Baseball America's Matt Eddy, the Twins have re-signed BJ Hermsen and James Beresford.
November 18, 201411 yr According to Doogie (via twitter), the Twins have also re-signed IF/OF Eric Farris. I like this one. He's very versatile.
November 18, 201411 yr Have the Twins been connected to anyone else's minor-league Free agents? I no nothing about most of the available players, but the Phillies, for instance, recently added a small army of minor leaguers from outside their org (including familiar face Darin Mastroianni).
November 18, 201411 yr Now that we've seen signings from elsewhere, I started a forum on minor league signings from other organizations: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/15984-minor-league-signings-2014-15/
November 18, 201411 yr Obviously, as my "adopted" prospect, I've always liked Beresford. That said, I'm a little torn to read he re-signed with the Twins. I thought maybe he'd have a better shot at getting an opportunity for a big league utility role with another organization. I'd imagine, though, that his agent tested the waters elsewhere and they determined the Twins remained James' best option at this time. Hope he has a great season.

I thought maybe he'd have a better shot at getting an opportunity for a big league utility role with another organization. It's really hard to imagine a world where the Twins aren't among the teams with the greatest need for a middle infielder, yet here we are. This must be in bizarro world.

I too thought he would have a better chance elsewhere. As far as I am concerned he has everything you need as a 2nd baseman except power. If he can improve his power numbers I think he is MLB bound.
November 19, 201411 yr Author Morrie Silver @MorrieSilver8 · 13m13 minutes ago Dougie Fresh is back!! Doug Bernier re-signs with the #MNTwins
November 19, 201411 yr The Red Wings announced that the Twins have re-signed infielder Doug Bernier to a minor league contract. He was the Red Wings 2014 MVP. Here's a story I did after talking to him in spring training.
November 25, 201411 yr Per Matt Eddy of Baseball America, RHP Daniel Turpen has re-signed with the Twins. He spent the season last year in New Britain. He came to the Twins from the Rockies in the Kevin Slowey trade.
November 27, 201411 yr Are these one year deals or how do minor league deals work? Yes, they are one year deals.
November 27, 201411 yr Deolis Guerra signed with the Pirates. So I guess we can expect a Cy Young from him soon?!
November 27, 201411 yr So I guess we can expect a Cy Young from him soon?! At a minimum, either ROY or Comeback Player of the Year.
December 2, 201411 yr I just read that the Pirates signed Deibinson Romero. Good luck to him, and maybe he'll finally get a chance in the bigs in 2015.
December 2, 201411 yr I just read that the Pirates signed Deibinson Romero. Good luck to him, and maybe he'll finally get a chance in the bigs in 2015.They spotted a flaw in his release point and hope to add 2-3 MPH to his fastball. /obligatory
December 2, 201411 yr I just read that the Pirates signed Deibinson Romero. Good luck to him, and maybe he'll finally get a chance in the bigs in 2015. Pittsburgh is apparently replacing Baltimore as the new receptacle for Twins cast-offs.
December 23, 201411 yr Dan Rohlfing returns for another season in the Twins organization. Yeah, he's included in the Twins Prospect Handbook because a 'source' let us know that he should be included again.
December 23, 201411 yr Author Dustin Morse @Twins_morsecode · 3m3 minutes ago #MNTwins have signed Wilkin Ramirez, Wil Ledezma, Brock Peterson & Jose G Martinez to AAA contracts. Martinez will receive a spring invite
December 23, 201411 yr According to Dustin Morse with the Minnesota Twins, the team has officially signed several minor leaguers: https://twitter.com/Twins_morsecode/status/547469364648087555
