A second Minnesota Twins reliever is now leaving the team, as Matt Wisler is signing in San Francisco with the Giants.
Despite having a career year for the Minnesota Twins last season, Matt Wisler will be playing baseball in a different city in 2021: San Francisco. The slider specialist became a free agent after the Twins opted to non-tender him, rather than go to arbitration. Twins president Derek Falvey was still hopeful that they could resign him.
Falvey said: “Matt’s somebody, we engaged with the agent, just couldn’t come to that agreement, on terms at this point but it does not rule out the potential for that going forward,” Falvey said Wednesday.
