Twins Cut Roster, Including Top Prospect Rodriguez

The Minnesota Twins are in the midst of their Spring Training, having recently made their first roster cuts as they prepare for Opening Day. Among the players optioned to minor league camp is top prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez, who is recovering from injuries and has not yet played in Grapefruit League games. Other notable cuts include pitchers Cory Lewis, who showed promise with a solid performance, and Randy Dobnak, who has been effective in limited action but is no longer on the 40-man roster. Manager Rocco Baldelli has expressed optimism about several players, including free-agent addition Ty France, who is off to a strong start. The Twins currently hold a 6-6 record in Spring Training as they finalize their roster and seek to improve upon last season’s performance. With regulars needing consistent playing time, the team is focusing on making strategic decisions ahead of the regular season.
