C. Thielbar - RP

MIN

According to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic, the Twins have agreed to a pre-arbitration deal with Caleb Thielbar worth around $700,000.

Thielbar gets a guaranteed major league contract after signing a minor league deal with Minnesota last winter and pitching to a 2.25 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 22/9 K/BB ratio over 20 innings of relief during the shortened 2020 season. The 33-year-old left-hander should be locked into a bullpen job with the Twins leading into 2021.
