Kennys Vargas News
Minnesota Twins first baseman/designated hitter Kennys Vargas has cleared waivers and will report to Triple-A Rochester. Vargas had a busy week as the Twins tried to get him through waivers earlier, only to have the Cincinnati Reds claim him. The Twins then got Vargas back two days later after Cincinnati waived the slugger. Vargas is blocked by both Joe Mauer and Logan Morrison at the big league level and will probably need an injury to make a big league impact this season.
After losing first basemanKennys Vargas to the Reds earlier in the week, the Minnesota Twins have claimed Kennys Vargas off waivers. Vargas wasnt gone from Minnesota too long, but will still struggle to get everyday at-bats. Vargas has always shown strong power, but has struggled in other areas of his game. Unless he is given everyday at-bats and you need power, you can avoid Vargas for now.
The Cincinnati Reds claimed first baseman/designated hitter Kennys Vargas off of waivers on Thursday. Vargas was waived by the Minnesota Twins earlier in the week. Vargas became expendable in Minnesota following the off-season signing of Logan Morrison. Vargas has loads of power in his bat but it is unclear how much playing time he will get in Cincinnati, where there is no DH spot and All-Star Joey Votto is locked in at first base. If he gets playing time, Vargas' power bat should play well in hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark.
