A pitcher from the Toronto Blue Jays in 2025 has been linked to the Minnesota Twins in MLB free agency.
The Minnesota Twins have spent much of the offseason searching for ways to stabilize a bullpen that faltered badly down the stretch in 2025.
After trading away several key arms at the deadline, including closer Jhoan Duran and setup man Griffin Jax, the relief corps was left patchwork and posted a 4.93 ERA over the final two months. That performance underscored the need for reinforcements, and one name that has surfaced is veteran right‑hander Seranthony Dominguez.
Dominguez, who finished last season with the Toronto Blue Jays, remains unsigned as spring training approaches. He split 2025 between Baltimore and Toronto, logging 62 2/3 innings with a 3.16 ERA and 79 strikeouts.
His ability to miss bats with a high‑90s fastball and secondary pitches has long made him an intriguing late‑inning option, though control issues have occasionally limited his effectiveness.
“The #MNTwins briefly inquired about Seranthony Dominguez last month. Just took a look at remaining free agent relievers and he’s as intriguing as any, for me. Maybe the Twins eventually circle back and ramp up interest,” reported Darren Wolfson of KSTP.
The Twins’ interest makes sense given their current roster construction. Minnesota finished 70‑92 last year and has lowered payroll from $142 million to just over $100 million, but reports suggest they could climb back toward $115 million before Opening Day.
That leaves room to add multiple relievers, and Dominguez fits the mold of a veteran who could stabilize the bullpen while also holding trade value if the team struggles again.
At 31 years old, Dominguez brings experience from both regular season and postseason settings. He made 12 appearances for Toronto in the 2025 playoffs, posting a 3.18 ERA while being trusted in high‑leverage spots. Over his career, he has collected more than 40 saves and consistently generated strikeouts, giving him the profile of a pitcher who can handle late‑inning pressure.
For the Twins, adding Dominguez would not only provide a proven option but also mentorship for younger arms still adjusting to big‑league roles.
His pitch mix, which now includes a splitter alongside his fastball and breaking balls, allows him to attack hitters in multiple ways. That versatility could be valuable in the American League Central, where close games often decide standings.
Whether Minnesota circles back remains to be seen, but Dominguez stands out as one of the better free agents still available. For a team trying to rebound from a disappointing season, his addition could represent both immediate stability and long‑term flexibility.
