The Twins released Broxton on Thursday.
Even with Byron Buxton missing considerable time this season due to an assortment of injuries and other key outfielders spending time on the shelf, Broxton never put himself in position for a call-up to Minnesota. The 31-year-old struggled mightily at the plate for Triple-A St. Paul this season, slashing .186/.288/.335 while striking out in a whopping 44 percent of his plate appearances. Broxton hasn't appeared in the majors since 2019, and his rough showing at Triple-A makes it unlikely that he'll ever make it back to the highest level.
