Mickey Gasper News: Cleared from 40-man roster

Published on January 14, 2026

The Twins designated Gasper for assignment Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Vidal Brujan, who was claimed off waivers. Gasper slashed only .158/.257/.232 over 45 contests with the Twins in 2025, but his ability to play catcher, first base, second base and left field could attract the interest of clubs via the waivers process.
