Contract selected by Twins Soto's contract was purchased by the Twins on Monday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Impact Soto's only big-league experience was a three-game stint for the Angels back in 2020. The 32-year-old has spent this year with Triple-A St. Paul, where he's struggled to a .213/.327/.331 slash line and homered just twice in 41 games. He'll give the Twins an extra glove in the middle infield but is unlikely to help much with his bat.

Impact The 31-year-old had his contract selected for the final week of the season and went 2-for-6 with a double and two runs in three games, but he's now back off the 40-man roster. Soto will need a strong spring training to have any chance of grabbing spot on the Opening Day roster next year.
