Matt Shoemaker News
According to Sports Hochi, former Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker is nearing a deal with the Yomiuri Giants of NPB. Shoemaker pitched for the Twins in 2021, where he compiled a dismal 8.06 ERA with 40 strikeouts across 60 1/3 innings pitched. He spent parts of nine seasons in the big leagues with the Los Angeles Angels and Toronto Blue Jays as well.
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker was released from the club. Shoemaker was a low-risk signing this past offseason, though it certainly didn't work out the way the Twins or potential fantasy investors hoped, as he recorded a career-worst 8.03 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 60 1/3 innings. The veteran righty did rebound to pitch well in four Triple-A starts before his release, recording a 1.80 ERA, but his fantasy value remains low at the moment. The rebuilding Twins will get to see what they have in their young crop of pitching prospects over the last couple of months of the season.
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker was designated for assignment on Thursday ahead of the series finale against the Chicago White Sox. The move comes on the heels of another dreadful performance by Shoemaker, who surrendered eight earned runs during Wednesday's game, raising his ERA to 8.06, the worst in Twins history relative to the rest of the league. The veteran right-hander will be replaced on the 40-man roster by reliever Derek Law. Bailey Ober seems likely to continue making spot starts in the rotation for the remainder of the year.
