Twins Sign 5-Year MLB Veteran Pitcher
The Minnesota Twins have added to their pitching depth, as they have signed Ron Marinaccio to a minor league contract.
The Minnesota Twins have bolstered their pitching roster by signing veteran Ron Marinaccio, according to MLB.com's transactions log. The 6-foot-2 right-handed pitcher has been assigned to their Triple-A affiliate, the St. Paul Twins. Marinaccio's signing comes shortly after he was designated for assignment by the Cincinnati Reds and entered free agency.
This move marks his latest destination as he has been traded between the San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Reds throughout the season. In 41 games played across all three teams, Marinaccio compiled a 1-0 record, 6.09 ERA, and 48 strikeouts. Now, he aims to impress in Triple-A to secure a call-up to the Twins' major league roster before the season concludes.
Over his five-season MLB career, spanning the New York Yankees, Padres, Pirates, and Reds, Marinaccio has a 7-5 record, a 3.98 ERA, and 197 strikeouts.
