Minnesota Twins Sign Vet Smith for Bullpen Boost

0:00On March 28th, the Minnesota twins just made a smart under-the-radar pickup by signing better-and-right-hander Drew Smith to a minor league deal. This 32-year-old brings six years of big league experience from the New York Mets, and he's heading straight to Tribal A St. Paul to get. Rolling. Earlier this spring, Smith impressed in Washington National's camp with seven strikeouts over five and a third scoreless innings. His last major league action came in 2024, where he posted a solid 3.06 urn run average across 17.2 innings, picking up two saves along the way. Fans and analysts see this as a depth move for a bullpen that's already shown some cracks, like on opening day when they gave up two urn runs in a one run loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Right now, the pin relies on guys like Taylor Rogers, Justin Topa, and Cody Funderberg. But they're looking to tighten up fast. If injuries hit, Smith could get the call-up soon, giving Minnesota that reliable arm they've

1:02been needing. He's pitched in 191 career games, so he's no stranger to high-pressure spots. Meanwhile, the twins face the Orioles again today in game two of their series, chasing that first win of the season with a fresher bullpen option, waiting in the wings.
