Josh Staumont

Staumont looked like a promising young reliever at one point, but he holds an ugly 6.09 ERA over his last 57.2 big-league innings dating back to the beginning of 2022 and required surgery this past July for thoracic outlet syndrome. Still, the Twins took a chance on him after he was let go by the Royals. From 2019-21 he held a 2.93 ERA and 124:53 K:BB over 110.2 innings. His last two poor seasons he still had a 10.5 K/9. Walks are his main issue as he had a 6.6 BB/9 the last two seasons. The track record of pitchers coming back from TOS surgery is checkered, at best, but on a one-year pact the Twins felt Staumont was worth a roll of the dice. Read Past Outlooks
