As the defending American League Central champion Minnesota Twins enter spring training, they've gotten positive injury updates on pitchers Anthony DeSclafani and Josh Staumont, both of whom were acquired this offseason.
When the Minnesota Twins signed Josh Staumont in the last days of 2023, it was the first guaranteed deal they had agreed to all winter. It remains so. A guarantee of less than $1 million reflects uncertain health, but Staumont has a chance to be among the gems of their bullpen.
Although the Minnesota Twins have been relatively quiet this offseason, they added a high-upside reliever for just under $1 million. Upside is only worth as much as the results it brings, but Josh Staumont isn’t short on potential.
“Gabe has really grown into his role with the club. He is also the only person working this week.”

By signing righty reliever Josh Staumont to a one-year deal for a little less than $1 million, the Twins became the 29th MLB team to sign (24) or trade for (5) a guaranteed big-league deal this offseason.

The bullpen comes into focus. The Royals announced they have demoted relievers Richard Lovelady, Josh Staumont, and Josh Taylor to Triple-A Omaha as they come closer to finalizing their Opening Day roster.
Veteran pitchers show bad tendencies in a loss The Royals would get up to a four-to-nothing. Both the starting pitcher Zack Greinke and the first reliever of the day, Ryan Yarbrough were effective and efficient on the day.
The beginning of Josh Staumont's major league career started well and kept improving, leading to a dominating season in 2021. That year, Staumont posted a 1.066 WHIP, struck out 72 batters in 65.2 innings and finished 19 games with 5 saves in a setup role for the Kansas City Royals.
