The Twins are in agreement with reliever Brady Feigl on a minor league contract, as reflected on the MLB.com transaction log. He’ll head to Triple-A St. Paul to begin the season.
Feigl, who turned 34 in December, has pitched professionally for over a decade.
He spent time in the Atlanta and Texas farm systems without getting to the majors.
Feigl logged a couple years in independent ball and pitched well enough to secure a minor league deal with the Pirates last winter.
The 6’4″ southpaw was rewarded for his perseverance with an MLB call last August. He made his debut and pitched in mop-up work against the Cubs, surrendering six runs in 1 2/3 innings.
Pittsburgh designated Feigl for assignment after that lone appearance.
They ran him through outright waivers and kept him in Triple-A until he elected minor league free agency at season’s end. While his debut didn’t go as hoped, he had a nice year in the upper minors.
Feigl pitched 60 innings of 4.05 ERA ball with a 27.5% strikeout rate. He has a 3.27 ERA across 124 Triple-A frames over parts of four seasons.
