The Twins swung a minor trade on Thursday, trading utilityman Michael Helman to the St. Louis Cardinals for cash considerations. The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for the Twins, who were previously full at 40.
The Twins will need to clear one more spot to accommodate both left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe and outfielder Harrison Bader, both of whom agreed to one-year deals this week. Neither move has been made official yet.
Helman, 28, made his major league debut last season and played in parts of nine games for the Twins. He was 3 for 10 in his limited action and moved around the field, appearing in all three outfield spots and at third base.
While he would have been fighting for a roster spot in spring training, any chance of making the Twins’ roster decreased on Wednesday when the Twins agreed to a deal with Bader, a longtime major league veteran and Gold Glove outfielder.
