The Minnesota Twins lose Alexi Casilla on waivers
The Twins have lost 28-year old switch-hitting 2B/SS Alexi Casilla on waivers to the Orioles. Casilla played in 106 games for the Twins last year and he was 72 of 299 (.241 avg, .603 OPS) with 33 runs scored, 1 homer, 30 RBIs and 21 stolen bases. He played in 515 games in his seven years with the Twins and he was 395 of 1,580 (.250 avg, .639 OPS) with 210 runs scored, 11 homers, 147 RBIs and 71 stolen bases. Casilla’s play has tailed off the last couple of years, so they shouldn’t miss him too much moving forward.
