TODAY : Blewett rejected the outright a signment to become a free agent, but then quickly re-signed with the Twins on a fresh minors deal, according to the rightys . Davis Bertans Jersey Aug. 16: Blewett cleared waivers and has been a signed outright to Triple-A St. Paul, . Aug. 13: The Twins announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander and top pitching prospect , a move that was yesterday. In a corresponding move, the club has designated right-hander for a signment. Blewett, 28, signed a minor league deal with the Twins over the winter and was selected to the big league roster last week. He made one appearance for the Twins and pitched a perfect inning of relief with one strikeout. Hes spent the rest of the current season in Triple-A St. Paul, where hes totaled 51 2/3 innings of 3.66 ERA ball with a 23.2% strikeout rate, 7.6% walk rate and a 40.6% ground-ball rate for the Saints. A second-round pick by the Royals back in 2014, Blewett pitched a combined eight innings in the majors with Kansas City in 2020-21. Hes since bounced around pro ball, also spending time in the White Sox and Braves systems in addition to a nice stint with the Uni-President Lions in Taiwans Chinese Profe sional Baseball League last year. Now that hes been designated for a signment, hell hit outright waivers in the coming days and be made available to all 29 other clubs. Waiver priority is determined by reverse order of the MLB-wide standings and is not league-specific. If Blewett goes unclaimed, hed have the right to reject an outright a signment in favor of free agency, by virtue of the fact that hes been outrighted previously in his career (most recently by the 2021 Royals).
