Twins Sign Left-Handed Reliever Danny Coulombe

The Minnesota Twins have signed left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe to a one-year contract, marking their first major league transaction of the offseason. Coulombe returns to the Twins after a successful tenure with the Baltimore Orioles, where he posted a 2.56 ERA over 81 innings. He is expected to bolster the Twins' bullpen, which already includes key pitchers like Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax. Despite previous injury issues, including elbow surgery, Coulombe's performance in Baltimore has made him a valuable addition as the Twins aim to strengthen their relief options. The signing comes after the Twins declined to retain other left-handed relievers, highlighting their need for a reliable lefty. Coulombe previously pitched for the Twins from 2020 to 2022, achieving a 2.92 ERA during that time, and is now poised to play a crucial role in the upcoming season.
