The Minnesota Twins have optioned outfielder Ryan LaMarre to Triple-A Rochester. Lamarre had a tremendous Spring as a non-roster invite and has continued to play well to start the 2018 season.
LaMarre batted .500 (4-8) during his brief stint with Minnesota this season. He looks like he has finally put it together at the MLB level. However, he will now have to wait for another opportunity to shine in the Majors. There’s a lot to speculate about with this move, so let’s just dive right into it.
