stringer bell Verified Member Posted January 8, 2025 Posted January 8, 2025 As with the transactions thread, it is time to usher in a new year. The 2024 thread went about 15 pages. I wonder how long this one will be. BrokenCompass 1
stringer bell Verified Member Posted January 8, 2025 Author Posted January 8, 2025 Posted on the 2024 thread--ex-Twin Martín Pérez is back in the AL Central as a member of the Chicago White Sox. As a left hander who is breathing, Pérez will continue to get opportunities. He is more interesting than most in that he's had periods of very good pitching mixed with long dry spells, which was precisely how his one season with the Twins went. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/white-sox-to-sign-martin-perez.html glunn 1

stringer bell Verified Member Posted February 12, 2025 Author Posted February 12, 2025 Lots of moves with ex-Twins. John Curtiss (pitched in 17 games in 2017-18) signed a minor league deal with the Diamondbacks. Michael A. Taylor will sign with the White Sox and Josh Staumont signed a minor league deal with the Reds. In addition, Ronny Henriquez was claimed by Miami and Brent Headrick was claimed by the Yankees, so they are both ex-Twins. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/02/diamondbacks-sign-scott-mcgough-john-curtiss-to-minor-league-deals.html https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/02/white-sox-to-sign-michael-a-taylor.html https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/02/reds-sign-josh-staumont.html RpR, Vanimal46 and glunn 3
