Matt Magill Bio
Twins Video
Matthew William Magill was born on November 10, 1989.
The Los Angeles Dodgers drafted him in round 31 of the 2008 MLB Draft. He reached the Major Leagues in 2013, making six starts with a 6.51 ERA for the Dodgers. Magill didn't get back to the big leagues until 2016 with the Cincinnati Reds, where he allowed three earned runs in 4.1 relief innings.
He signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins on January 24, 2018. The Twins selected his contract in late April, and he tossed 2.1 shutout innings out of the bullpen against the Reds in his first appearance for them. It was the first of six outings on the season where Magill got at least six outs without allowing a run. He finished the season with a 3.81 ERA over 56.2 innings. This was inflated by a stretch of six consecutive appearances between late June and early July in which Magill allowed at least one earned run. He allowed multiple runs in three of those. Outside of that stretch, Magill was one of the Twins best relievers that season.
Minnesota brought him back in 2019. He began the season on the injured list with a shoulder injury, but the team activated him on April 26th. Magill didn't allow a run in 13 of his first 14 relief appearances that season, but was tagged for five runs in 0.2 innings on June 2nd against the Tampa Bay Rays. This began a downturn that led to the Twins designating him for assignment just after the All-Star break. He was traded to the Seattle Mariners for cash, owning a 4.45 ERA in 28 games for Minnesota at the time of this deal.
Magill turned his season around with the Mariners, and even began getting closer reps for a struggling Seattle club. He had a 3.63 ERA with five saves after heading out west. Magill made 11 appearances for the Mariners during the COVID shortened 2020 season, but finished the year on the 60-day injured list due to a shoulder strain. He was never able to get fully healthy after that, eventually retiring after the 2022 season.
The Texas Rangers have hired Magill as a mental health coach.

CHW 4, MIN 3: Twins Lose Rubber Match to White Sox After Another Long Day of Baseball
The Twins were part of yet another five-plus hour day of baseball, but this time it wasn’t because of extra innings. Despite the White Sox ace being cut short due to a three-hour rain delay the Twins couldn’t take the Sunday rubber match losing just their seventh series on the season.
TB 5, MIN 2: Twins Can’t Complete Sweep in 18-Inning Duel
For the second time in nine days, the Twins were playing into the 17th inning. The bullpen kept giving the offense opportunities to take this game, Martin Perez had a stellar comeback after a rough second inning, and the Twins offense was lifeless after the first.
MIN 4, BOS 3: Twins Win in 17th Inning, Get First Walk-Off
For the first time this season the Twins win on a walk-off hit from (who else?) Max Kepler. It was the longest game of the season for both teams tonight and both bullpens were lights out, but one had to blow it. Kepler also hit a game-tying single in the eighth inning and a game-tying homer in the 13th.
DET 9, MIN 3: Third Out Eludes Gibson, Eades Debuts
Kyle Gibson struggled to finish off the Tigers in the second inning, the Twins’ lineup was uncharacteristically quiet against a Detroit staff maneuvering through a bullpen game and Matt Magill made sure there was no drama in the ninth inning. In between all that, Ryan Eades pitched two scoreless innings in his major league debut.
Area Man to Let Bullpen Ruin His Family's Weekend
In an otherwise ideal season, the Minnesota Twins' glaring weakness remains their bullpen. And at least one man is going to let it wreck the next few days.
Homonym Leads to Hot Water for Jason Castro, Twins
Among the many “new school” approaches of the Twins front office is an increased focus on pitch framing, wherein catchers tweak their movements to maximize the odds of the home plate umpire calling a strike.
Unfortunately, Jason Castro might have needed a little more clarification.
