Twins outfielder Matt Wallner trying to make decisions difficult

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:14:24 GMT

KANSAS CITY — It was obvious a roster crunch was coming earlier this week with both Byron Buxton and Jorge Polanco needing to be activated, and rookie outfielder Matt Wallner was well aware of it.“I feel like I’ve kind of done my part, but it’s ultimately not my decision,” he said Wednesday. “I’m just trying to do what I can do, and I feel like I’ve done a good job of that, honestly.”He’s right — he had.Wallner, who hit a pair of home runs on Wednesday, had done his part to make the Twins’ decision as hard as possible, and when the dust cleared, he was in Kansas City, still on the roster.To make room for Buxton, the Twins optioned Trevor Larnach, whom Wallner appears to have jumped on the Twins’ depth chart. To welcome Polanco back on the roster, the Twins made a surprise move, optioning a pitcher — Cole Sands — and deciding to keep 14 position players for the time being.The Twins prefer to keep 13 pitchers — the maximum allowed by rule — on the roster, but are carrying an ext...
