The Twins announced a second round of spring cuts Monday. All four roster moves were pitchers, three righties and one lefty. The four cuts were: LHP Brent Headrick RHP Simeon Woods Richardson RHP Matt Canterino RHP David Festa Headrick, Woods Richardson and Canterino were optioned to Triple-A St.
Since being drafted in 2019, Brent Headrick moved quickly through the Minnesota Twins system. Is he being overlooked because of other arms in the team’s pitching pipeline?
The Twins continued to struggle offensively, but the bullpen and Brent Headrick kept the Tigers off the board, allowing a two-run fifth inning to stand up.
Brent Headrick has been a pleasant surprise to begin the season, to say the least. Currently stuck in an up-and-down long relief role, could he be a starting option with the recent injuries?
The Twins have accumulated depth in the high minors, and fans will see multiple pitching prospects throughout the season. Brent Headrick looks to become the first pitching prospect to debut in 2023.
