Infielder Drew Maggi re-signed with the organization. Pitchers Caleb Thielbar and Danny Coulombe were added, as were infielders Cody Asche, Jack Reinheimer and Wilfredo Tovar.
Thielbar, a lefthander, was at Toledo and Gwinnett, two Class AAA teams, in 2019. The 32-year-old pitched in 109 games for the Twins from 2013-15. He recently was named pitching coach at Augustana, an NSIC school.
