Twins signed 1B Dalton Kelly to a minor league contract.

Kelly latched on with the Athletics last year on a minor league pact and wound up batting .219/.328/.416 with 15 home runs and seven stolen bases across 360 plate appearances for Triple-A Las Vegas. The 28-year-old first baseman has yet to reach the majors. He gives the Twins some extra organizational depth at the cold corner.

Athletics reassigned 1B Eric Thames, C Christian Bethancourt and INFs Drew Jackson, Dalton Kelly and Christian Lopes to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Thames struggled at the dish in 11 Cactus League contests and won’t open the 2022 campaign as the Athletics’ primary first baseman. Neither will Dalton Kelly, who was also included among the latest cuts. There aren’t any other real surprises here as Oakland prepares to finalize its Opening Day roster.
