The Minnesota Twins made a strategic move by acquiring catcher Alex Jackson from the Baltimore Orioles, exchanging minor league player Payton Eeles. To make room for Jackson, they designated outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Junior for assignment. Jackson, a former high draft pick, brings experience to the team, having played in parts of six seasons for five different teams. He could potentially serve as a backup to Ryan Jeffers, who is expected to take on a larger role with Christian Vázquez now a free agent. The Twins also reached an agreement with relief pitcher Justin Topa. The team has until 7 PM to offer contracts to their remaining arbitration-eligible players, including key players like Ryan Jeffers, Bailey Ober, Joe Ryan, Cole Sands, Royce Lewis, and Trevor Larnach, who is projected to earn around four point seven million dollars.
