Aussie Superstar Hendriks to Test Himself on Market
- On Friday, the Minnesota Twins released veteran right-hander Liam Hendriks after he failed to secure a bullpen spot during spring training in Fort Myers, Florida.
- Minnesota signed the 37-year-old to a minor league deal on Feb. 12, but Hendriks triggered an opt-out clause requiring the team to add him to the 40-man roster or release him within 48 hours.
- During spring training, Hendriks allowed three runs, nine hits, and five walks over seven innings in seven appearances, failing to earn the $2.25 million salary tied to a major league roster spot.
- The move reduces the team's 40-man roster to 21 pitchers, while Hendriks now enters free agency just one week before the MLB season begins.
- A three-time All-Star, Hendriks holds 116 saves over a 14-year career, though he has battled Tommy John surgery and a cancer diagnosis since 2023.
