The Twins are putting Miranda on the IL. and calling up Diego Castillo to take his spot on teh 40 man. Since Diego is not currently on the 40 man roster there needs to be a corresponding move.

What do the Twins do?

the Twins COULD do something with a pitcher, but lets assume they stay position player... here are the positions players on the 40 man. and remember this is not just sending someone down, it is risk losing the player to another team.

NA means there is no way that player gets designated.

Wallner - NA    Emmanuel Rodriguez - NA  Austin Martin - NA Trevor Larnach - NA Max Kepler - NA Byron Buxton - NA  Yunior Severino - NA  Carlos Santana - NA   Jose Miranda - NA  Royce Lewis - NA Brooks Lee - NA  Eduard Julien - NA Carlos Correa - NA Willi Castro - NA Ryan Jeffers - NA.

That leaves the following...

Vazquez - he is a "clubhouse guy" which means the Twins will keep him even though he is not performing well. even so the Twins would never eat that contract. if they wanted to get rid of him they would trade hm for anything they can get, a bag of used BP balls to move the contract before DFA him.

Camargo - Could be an option, but I doubt it as there really isn't another "next in line catcher" for the Twins. and would you risk losing him for a short call up?

Farmer - Already on the IL, but not really a candidate to move him to the 60 day. Might not be a bad move, but there would clearly be a grievance if this was done as his injury does not necessitate a 60 day stint. Twins have proven they want to keep him so wont be DFA'd

Martin... could the oblique legitimately cause a 60 day IL transfer? I doubt it, 

That leaves just Kirilloff.  He has already been o the IL since 6/13 so already 30 days in.  with no real update on his condition, this is a CLEAR move.  Plus the Twins are getting annoyed with him. Not annoyed enough to straight up DFA him  but they would love to get ANY sort of trade value out of him.  putting him on the 60 day IL woudl prevent the option of being able to trade him by the deadline. so that is not SUPER good.  At this point though with 2 weeks left til the trade deadline, and Kirilloff nowhere near a return, it kind of makes that point moot.

To me the Twins 2 options are...

Option #1   move Kirilloff to the 60 day IL

Option #2  just play short.  Making the move retroactive to Friday and after todays game, we are on break, and would only miss the 2 Brewers games coming out of the break (assuming healthy).

Option #3 is nto really an option if they are indeed looking at Diego Castillo.... why not bring up Julien?

How would you clear a spot on the 40 man in this situation?
