Shoemaker will look to rebuild his value overseas in 2022 after posting a calamitous 8.06 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 40/27 K/BB ratio across 60 1/3 innings (16 appearances, 11 starts) with the Twins last season. The 35-year-old veteran right-hander hasn't exceeded 100 innings in a single season since 2016, but holds a respectable 4.24 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 580/174 K/BB ratio across 662 2/3 innings (128 appearances, 115 starts) in the majors since 2013.

Shoemaker agreed to terms with the Giants over the weekend after being released by the Twins last week. The 34-year-old righty holds a disastrous 8.06 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 40/27 K/BB ratio across 60 1/3 innings (16 appearances, 11 starts). He'll report to Triple-A Sacramento and serve as organizational depth for the remainder of the season.

Shoemaker was released after being designated for assignment by the Twins last week. The 34-year-old righty posted a disastrous 8.06 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 40/27 K/BB ratio across 60 1/3 innings (16 appearances, 11 starts) this season. Given his extensive big-league experience, there's a chance he finds another opportunity over the final two months of the season.

Twins designated RHP Matt Shoemaker for assignment.

3 years ago

It looked like a crafty move when Minnesota signed Shoemaker to a one-year, $2 million free agent contract back in February, but the 34-year-old right-hander is now off the 40-man roster after struggling to an 8.06 ERA in 11 starts and five relief appearances. He could maybe draw some interest on waivers given his past success and the many teams around MLB that need pitching help.
