Kyle Farmer provided important depth for the Twins throughout the 2023 season, but he was in danger of being released Friday because of MLB's deadline for teams to guarantee contracts for the 2024 season.
The Twins, who are expected to shed payroll for the coming season, opted to keep Farmer and his rising salary on their roster. For now, at least. Farmer will likely be at the center of trade talks this winter.
The two players the Twins released Friday were relievers Jovani Moran and Ronny Henriquez.
Friday was the MLB's deadline to guarantee one-year contracts to players who are eligible for salary arbitration. The Twins tendered a contract to all seven of their arbitration-eligible players: Farmer, Caleb Thielbar, Ryan Jeffers, Alex Kirilloff, Willi Castro, Jorge Alcala and Nick Gordon. Farmer and Thielbar are set to become free agents after the 2024 season.
Moran and Henriquez weren't eligible for arbitration, but they were released to clear their spots on the 40-man roster. Moran, a lefthander who posted a 5.43 ERA in 43 appearances with the Twins this year, is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery, which is expected to sideline him for the entire 2024 season. He could re-sign with the Twins on a two-year minor league deal.
Henriquez didn't pitch for the Twins this year, yielding a 5.68 ERA in 57 innings out of the bullpen at Class AAA. The Twins have an interest in signing the 23-year-old Henriquez to a minor league contract, and the decision to release him Friday bypasses putting him on waivers.

The Twins have an interest in signing the 23-year-old Henriquez to a minor league contract, and the decision to release him Friday bypasses putting him on waivers. Castro showed his worth as a super utility player, but Farmer is probably expendable with Miranda returning and Austin Martin added to the 40 man roster. |
