Minnesota Twins Announce Trade With Miami Marlins

The Minnesota Twins and Miami Marlins completed a trade on Thursday that reflects both clubs’ focus on pitching depth early in the season. With injuries already impacting the roster, Minnesota has continued to shuffle arms as it looks to maintain stability across both the major and minor-league levels. The Twins announced on X after their series finale against the Kansas City Royals that they have acquired right-hander Garrett Acton from the Miami Marlins in exchange for right-hander Logan Whitaker.

Acton is a 27-year-old who brings limited major-league experience to the Twins organization but some intriguing underlying potential. Across two MLB seasons with the Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays, he has appeared in seven games, allowing eight earned runs over 6 2/3 innings. While the sample size is small, his development has largely taken place in the minors.

He has posted a 4. 62 ERA during his time in Triple-A, yet has struck out 158 hitters in 132 1/3 innings of work. That ability to miss bats stands out, even as he has worked through command issues and occasional home run trouble.
