Twins DFA 7-Year MLB Veteran Catcher
The Minnesota Twins have made a roster move, as they have designated veteran catcher Alex Jackson for assignment.
The Minnesota Twins have decided to let go of catcher Alex Jackson as they pursue a playoff berth in the American League Central. According to The Athletic's Dan Hayes, the team placed Jackson on waivers to bring their roster down to 26 players. Jackson had been a solid contributor for the Twins this season, appearing in 29 games and posting a .303 batting average with one home run, five RBI, and 20 hits.
Despite his solid performance, the Twins chose not to keep him on the roster. Other teams might see value in Jackson's experience and consider him as a backup catcher option. Over the course of his seven-year MLB career, Jackson has played for the Atlanta Braves, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, and the Twins, amassing 12 home runs, 37 RBI, and a .174 batting average in 189 games.
It remains to be seen what will happen next for Jackson after being designated for assignment by the Twins.
