Twins sign Mahay to minor league deal

March 24, 2010

The Twins have signed lefty reliever, Ron Mahay, to a minor league deal this morning.  Mahay was picked up by the Twins late last August after being released by the Kansas City Royals.  Mahay made 16 appearances with the Twins and posted a 2.00 ERA in nine innings of work.

The Twins opted not to sign Mahay in the offseason and let him become a free agent.  A few teams, such as the Phillies and Mets, showed interest in Mahay, but no deals were made for the reliever.  As part of his minor league deal with the Twins, Mahay will be invited to Spring Training.

With some of the relievers, such as Clay Condrey and Glen Perkins, struggling in Spring Training, one has to think that Mahay has a shot at getting one of the bullpen spots once the season starts.
