MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Bartolo Colon has agreed to terms on a minor league deal with the Minnesota Twins.
The 44-year-old with 235 career victories was designated for assignment last Thursday by the Atlanta Braves, a day after a loss to San Diego dropped his record to 2-8. He had an 8.14 ERA in 13 starts.
The Twins say Colon will report to Triple-A Rochester soon. The announcement was made in the third inning of Minnesota’s game Friday against Baltimore.
Colon’s successful run with the New York Mets from 2014-16 helped affirm his status as one of the game’s most durable and popular players.
