Twins Pick Tyler Kinley In Rule 5 Draft
12/14:The Minnesota Twins have selected relief pitcher Tyler Kinley from the Miami Marlins with the 13th pick in the Rule 5 Draft. Kinley reached Double-A and Triple-A in 2016 but his stock fell and he spent last year in between Single-A and Double-A. Kinley, 26, posted a 3.54 ERA between the two stops this past season and recorded 72 strikeouts in 53 1/3 innings. The Twins are looking to compete and he will probably be a long shot to make the opening day roster unless he really impresses in spring training. Should he not make the roster, he would be returned to the Marlins.
