"Twins Make Roster Moves: Sign Jay Jackson, Release Three Players"

The Twins claimed right-hander Zack Weiss off waivers from the Red Sox and designated outfielder Bubba Thompson, as well as right-handers Daniel Duarte and Jordan Balazovic for assignment to make room on their 40-man roster. Weiss, known for his strong strikeout rate and heavy reliance on breaking pitches, has been claimed by multiple teams in the past year. Thompson, a speedster with hitting questions, and Duarte, with intriguing Triple-A numbers, still have options and could be valuable to other clubs. Balazovic, a former top prospect, struggled in 2022 and is now out of options, likely drawing interest from other teams despite recent performance.
