Bonser designated for assignment
On Tuesday, the Twins designated Boof Bonser for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster for Carl Pavano, who accepted the Twins offer of arbitration on Monday night. The Star Tribune reported that if Bonser is not traded by Saturday, he will be outright released from the club as he is out of options.
Bonser appeared to have a starting role with the club but after a rocky start in 2008, he was demoted to the bullpen and regulated to long relief and mop-up duty. In his three years with the Twins, Bonser posted a 18-25 record with a 5.12 ERA in 96 appearances.
A partial tear in the labrum and rotator cuff in his right shoulder injury cost Bonser the entire 2009 season. He came to the club in a 2003 trade with the San Francisco that sent the Giants catcher A.J. Pierzynski in exchange for Bonser, Joe Nathan and Francisco Liriano.
