Alex Jackson Accepts Outright to Triple-A After Clearing Waivers
The Twins catcher chose to stay in the organization rather than pursue free agency after going unclaimed on waivers following his DFA.
Alex Jackson was designated for assignment by the Twins and went unclaimed on waivers. Despite having enough service time to elect free agency, the 30-year-old accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A St. Paul. Jackson appeared in 29 games for Minnesota this season, filling in after Ryan Jeffers suffered a hamate fracture. He batted .303/.333/.409 in 69 plate appearances but posted a 33% strikeout rate and just one walk.
