Minnesota Twins Steal Top-50 International Prospect From Dodgers

The Minnesota Twins have had a very quiet offseason. After a late-season collapse, the Twins missed the playoffs last season, and fans were hopeful that it would be a busy offseason. So far, that has not been the case.

However, the Twins’ president Derek Falvey just swooped in and stole a top-50 international prospect from the Los Angeles Dodgers. After they put him on the backburner while waiting for international phenom Roki Sasaki to make them, the Padres and the Blue Jays wait on his decision.

Minnesota Twins surprisingly land coveted prospect

Up until Wednesday, Teilon Serrano from the Dominican Republic was expected to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But according to Ben Badler (Baseball America), the 16-year-old got tired of waiting on the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes and has now officially signed with the Minnesota Twins (Serrano’s Instagram).

Although fans desired a busier offseason for the Twins, signing Serrano is a great move for the future. Now the Twins must trust their minor league system and developmental coaches to bring the best out of Serrano for years to come.
