The Twins are signing former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel to a minor league deal, according to a report from baseball insider Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
The 35-year-old has fallen out of favor with teams across the league over the last two seasons, as he’s been a shell of his former self. After a strong 2020 with the White Sox in which he went 6–2 with a 1.99 ERA in 11 starts during the COVID-19-shortened season, his fastball struggled in consistency.
Over 222 and two-thirds innings pitched since 2021 with Chicago, the Diamondbacks and the Rangers, he has accumulated a 6.35 ERA. In ’22, he surrendered 62 earned runs in 60 and two-thirds innings while averaging a career-worst 87.8 miles per hour on his fastball.
