Departing Minors Free Agents

[Rosterman]

According to Transaction in baseball America, the following players have left the Twins minor league system.

 

Most are free agents signed this past offseason. Some made the expanded roster like Lane Adams, Wilfredo Tovar, Drew Maggi, Casey Lawrence, as well as former Twins Austin Adams and Juan Graterol. 

 

Jake Reed is walking. As are Andro Cutura, Moises Gomez and Jose Martinez.

 

Zach Littell is seeking employment elsewhere.

 

So many that sat out a season of play!

 

Minnesota Twins (28): Austin Adams, Lane Adams, Cody Asche, Alec Asher, Parker Bridwell, Jonathan Cheshire, Sam Clay, Andro Cutura, Kody Eaves, Anderson Feliz, Ramon Flores, Nick Garland, Moises Gomez, Juan Graterol, Blaine Hardy, Mitch Horacek, Joey Krehbiel, Casey Lawrence, Zack Littell, Drew Maggi, Jose Martinez, Levi Michael, Peter Mooney, Jake Reed, Jarett Rindfleisch, Chris Rowley, Wilfredo Tovar, Lukas Young.

I am a bit surprised that they didn't add Littell back to the 40-man-roster. After all, this basically means that they have more faith in these two relievers they picked up from waivers than in Littell who is only one season removed from a pretty impressive rookie year.

That does seem to be true, though they called up most of the guys that they had to add to the 40-man roster, so they have plenty of spaces to keep Littell too... Still a couple of guys that could come off the 40-man roster as they sign free agents.

Part of this is the uncertainty of free agency as well as the diminished number of minor leagues.  Baseball is changing too fast to keep track.
