Twins designated hitter Josh Bell is officially a free agent, the MLBPA announced today. His contract had a $10MM mutual option with a $1.25MM buyout. The team declined their end of the option, per Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com. Gleeman adds that the Twins declined their end of a 2027 mutual option for right-hander Joe Ryan, but Ryan remains under club control for next year via arbitration.
More to come.
