Rodriguez

The 27-year-old spent the first eight seasons of his professional career in the Cardinals organization, most recently slashing .256/.335/.410 with 15 homers and 60 RBI between Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis in 2016. He’ll add minor league depth for the Twins and could get a shot at some playing time with the big league club in the event that injuries strike at the major league level.

Rodriguez spent 2017 with the Twins organization, where he was also on a minor league deal. The 28-year-old first baseman put up big numbers with a .926 OPS, but he did most of his damage in Double-A Chattanooga. As bad as the Marlins are, it’s unlikely Rodriguez becomes anything more than organizational fodder for Miami in 2018.
