Of the 18 players, the Twins invited nine pitchers, three catchers, three infielders and three outfielders. Eleven of the 18 non-roster invitees have previous MLB experience, including outfielder Keon Broxton, infielder Tzu-Wei Lin and catcher Tomas Telis.
In addition, the Twins invited 15 players to participate in camp as minor-league depth players, including 2020 first-round pick Aaron Sabato and right-handed pitcher Matt Canterino, ranked by MLB.com as the organization’s No. 8 and No. 11-ranked prospects.
Minnesota’s first full-squad workout is scheduled for Feb. 23. Pitchers and catchers report to camp Friday.
