Jeff Hoffman Released By Twins
2 years agoThe Minnesota Twins granted right-hander Jeff Hoffman his release on Tuesday, per an out in his contract. Hoffman throws hard from the right side and was decent in four Grapefruit League relief appearances for the Twins this spring, but he'll be looking for a new opportunity with Opening Day quickly approaching this Thursday. In his last three spring outings, he didn't allow a hit or a run while striking out six in four innings. The 30-year-old will have to settle for a minor-league deal with another club after not making Minnesota's Opening Day roster. He had a 3.83 ERA (4.30 FIP), 1.41 WHIP and 45 strikeouts in 44 2/3 innings pitched over 35 outings (one start) for the Cincinnati Reds last year.
