Nick Buss: Released by Twins

Buss was cut loose by Minnesota on Thursday, Brandon Warne of Zone Coverage reports.

Buss was unable to sustain his high level of play from 2017, when he hit .348/.395/.541 with 11 home runs and 55 RBI for Triple-A El Paso within the Padres' system. Though that was to be expected, his regression has been more dramatic than anticipated, and the organization elected to let go of the 31-year-old.
