Blue Jays Acquire Catcher Sprock From Twins in Exchange for Right-Hander Nance
Minnesota also gets international bonus pool space as Toronto adds 21-year-old Ryan Sprock, who is batting .297 with five homers in Single-A.
On Friday, the Minnesota Twins acquired right-handed reliever Tommy Nance from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for minor league prospect Ryan Sprock and international signing bonus money.
Seeking to bolster their pitching staff, the Twins prioritized bullpen help while trailing in the American League Central race, adding the 35-year-old Nance to strengthen their playoff push.
An eighth-round 2025 draft pick, Sprock is hitting.297 with five home runs and 38 RBIs across 67 games in Single-A and High-A leagues this season.
Also on Friday, the Twins activated catcher Ryan Jeffers from the 10-day injured list, optioning outfielder Kyler Fedko to Triple-A to accommodate roster changes.
Twins General Manager Jeremy Zoll noted the team is still evaluating its approach before the Aug. 3 trade deadline, though recent momentum suggests a buying strategy.
