Also, the Twins have re-signed catcher Rene Rivera to a minor-league deal with a spring training invite.

Update: The Twins also signed RH P.J. Walters to a minor-league deal with a spring invite. Last season, Walters made five appearances, combined, for the Cardinals and Blue Jays and posted a 7.20 ERA.
