SEATTLE – In a sense, Saturday was Day 1 of the next phase of Alex Meyer’s career.
Meyer was promoted to join the Angels and tabbed for a start on Wednesday, replacing Brett Oberholtzer in the rotation.
“I’m thankful for my time with the Twins, but it’s definitely good to have a fresh start and an opportunity to come somewhere where they’re happy to have me,” Meyer said Saturday. “I’m happy to have a fresh start in a new organization.”
Meyer was the centerpiece of somewhat surprising trade of Hector Santiago to the Twins on Aug.
