Blewett

Blewett returns to the fold with the Twins as extra organizational relief depth heading into next season after compiling a strong 1.77 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 18/8 K/BB ratio across 20 1/3 innings (12 appearances) last year for Minnesota. The 28-year-old righty also looked sharp in 38 relief outings for Triple-A St. Paul and figures to compete in spring training for a spot in the Twins’ season-opening relief corps.

It’s some procedural routine housekeeping for the Twins as they’ve jettisoned a quartet of relievers on the periphery of their 40-man roster at the outset of the offseason. There’s a strong possibility they all wind up electing free agency in search of new opportunities.

Blewett finds himself back in Minnesota’s bullpen ahead of Saturday’s contest against the Cardinals to replace lefty Steven Okert. The 28-year-old righty made one relief appearance earlier this month for Minnesota after posting a solid 3.66 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 52/17 K/BB in 51 2/3 innings (36 appearances) for Triple-A St. Paul.

Blewett is back in the fold with the Twins on a new minor league pact after electing free agency last weekend. The 28-year-old righty made one relief appearance earlier this month for Minnesota after posting a solid 3.66 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 52/17 K/BB in 51 2/3 innings (36 appearances) for Triple-A St. Paul.

Blewett will test the free agent waters after refusing a outright minor league assignment from the Twins after being designated for assignment earlier this week and going unclaimed on waivers. The 28-year-old righty made one relief appearance for Minnesota earlier this month after compiling a respectable 3.66 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 52/17 K/BB in 51 2/3 innings (36 appearances) for Triple-A St. Paul.

Blewett went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The 28-year-old righty has the ability to elect free agency, but will probably wind up sticking around with Minnesota as extra relief depth for the rest of the year.

Blewett was only with the Twins for a handful of days, making one relief appearance for the club, before losing his 40-man roster spot to top pitching prospect Zebby Matthews. The 28-year-old could wind up sticking around as emergency relief depth, assuming he’s willing to accept an outright assignment.

Blewett arrives in the Twins pen after posting a 3.66 ERA and a 52/17 K/BB in 51 2/3 innings for St. Paul. His only previous major league experience was five appearances with the Royals in 2020 and ’21.

Blewett has made five relief appearances in the majors with the Royals since 2020. The 26-year-old right-hander posted a lackluster 5.78 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 109/48 K/BB ratio across 123 innings (27 appearances, 25 starts) last year in the upper levels of the White Sox’ system.

Blewett spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Royals and wound up making five relief appearances in the majors over the last two years. The 26-year-old righty will augment the White Sox’ organizational relief depth.
