The Mets did that to select Vidal Brujan, who was a Twin for a very short amount of time. Ironic.

... after zero games in the majors while briefly on their 40-man.  DFAs should revert to the previous team.

Ha, came here to post this too.

Most of the Twins Paddack experience was not great, but the MLBTR article does underline that he’s rarely been tried in short relief and he’s done well in that limited experience. Worth a call if he clears waivers?

Old friend, Griffin Jax, headed for the rotation. Interesting move...

Gosh, I am aging and too slow. 3rd place to post Paddack.. 
 
Good for the bronze medal though; not the 4th.

Trevor Richards traded tothe White Sox.

Is it crazy to wonder if Paddack could be an effective bullpen arm? He was effective in that role in. 2023 coming back from TJ surgery.
