The Minnesota Twins announced that the team acquired infielder Jonah Bride from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Bride, 29, was in his second season with the Marlins, though he has struggled at the plate. After batting .276 in 71 games a year ago for Miami, Bride went just 4-for-40 with two RBIs in 12 games this season. The Marlins designated him for release or assignment on Tuesday.
A 5-foot-11, 200-pound infielder, Bride made the Marlins’ opening-day roster as a designated hitter. He has shown versatility in the field, making appearances at third base (63 games), first base (52) and second base (35) across four MLB seasons with the Marlins and the then-Oakland Athletics.
To make room for Bride, the Twins noted a corresponding 26- and 40-man roster move will be made Friday prior to Minnesota’s game against the Atlanta Braves.
