Just over a week after parting ways with the Atlanta Braves, 44-year-old pitcher Bartolo Colon has a new home.
The Minnesota Twins announced Friday that Colon will report to Triple-A Rochester after signing a minor-league contract.
Colon was designated for assignment by the Braves on June 29 after posting a 8.14 ERA in 13 starts.
Colon thrived with the New York Mets before signing with the Braves, going 44-34 with a 3.90 ERA in three seasons with the Mets and making the All-Star Game in 2016.
Now in his 20th major-league season, Colon made his major-league debut on April 4, 1997, just two months before Twins starter Jose Berrios’ third birthday.
