Through participating in the international signings period, inviting minor leaguers to Spring Training, and signing players to minor league contracts, the Twins&#8217; franchise is making tweaks to their already set lineups. Here are a few of the noteworthy ones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"s2nPlayer k-2qeEP8AW\" data-type=\"float\"><\/div>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=2qeEP8AW&#038;cid=9000&#038;offsetx=0&#038;offsety=0&#038;floatwidth=400&#038;floatposition=bottom-right' data-type='s2nScript'><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Twins sign twelve international prospects<\/h3>\n<p>It was a busy day for the Twins, as they had over $6 million to spend, and did so wisely. Of the players that they signed, three of them were listed within Baseball America&#8217;s Top 25 making it an impressive haul for the Twins. The first is outfielder <strong>Ariel Castro<\/strong> from Cuba, and he profiles as a big and tall sixteen-year-old left-handed bat. His bat is one that could eventually provide plus power and he is right now being compared to fellow prospect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=rodrig003emm&amp;search=Emmanuel+Rodriguez&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prospects1500.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-02-10_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Emmanuel Rodriguez<\/a>. He is likely headed toward the corner outfield. The second big-name player signed was <strong>Carlos Silva<\/strong>, a catcher from Venezuela. Currently, he profiles as someone with good defensive instincts behind the plate with an ability to throw out batters. His bat seems on par with being ready with good bat speed. He&#8217;s one to monitor since the Twins&#8217; organization has struggled to produce much consistency at the catcher position. Finally, the Twins signed <strong>Hendry Chivilli<\/strong>, a shortstop out of the Dominican Republic. As a tall and lanky seventeen-year-old, the team hopes that his body will fill out while he maintains his very athletic nature. He&#8217;s scouted as someone who is good at everything without a standout skill.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">MLB&#8217;s international prospect signing period starts today and the Twins are expected to sign three of the top 25 players in the 2023 class, per Baseball America&#8217;s rankings.<\/p>\n<p>#13 Ariel Castro (OF, Cuba)<\/p>\n<p>#15 Hendry Chivilli (SS, Dominican Republic)<\/p>\n<p>#23 Carlos Silva (C, Venezuela)<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Aaron Gleeman (@AaronGleeman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AaronGleeman\/status\/1614703549019045896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 15, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Twins receive two prospects in the trade for Pablo Lopez<\/h3>\n<p>The biggest name of the two is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=salas-008jos&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prospects1500.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-02-10_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jose Salas<\/a>, who has impressed in his short amount of time while with the Marlins organization. At only nineteen years of age, he still has some time to fill out his tall and thin body, which could take away some of his 60 Grade speed. Still, he has good instincts in the field, can run the basepaths, and is believed to have the ability to play anywhere in the field when he eventually does get the call to the majors. While he does possess a lot of upside with his ability to make contact and demonstrate patience at the plate, he does need some refining with the glove. His twelve errors in 2022 and eighteen errors in 2021 show that he&#8217;s a work in progress everywhere. Perhaps being given a focus on where he will be playing in the field will give him the direction needed to refine his craft and be the player they believe that he can be.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Twins?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Twins<\/a> fans: get used to seeing this from Jose Salas.<\/p>\n<p>Excellent range and arm at shortstop.

Still, he&#8217;s another project who had a nice little first year of professional ball, and someone the team can see if they can build into something more.<\/p>\n<h3>Twins claim Ortega off waivers from the Angels and designate Enlow for assignment<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/o\/ortegol01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prospects1500.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-02-10_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Oliver Ortega<\/a> comes to the Twins after a Jekyll and Hyde-type 2022 season for the Los Angeles Angels. The right-handed reliever started the year with a 1.15 ERA through his first 15.2 innings and looked to be a solid option for the team. His next 15 innings saw him post a 7.20 ERA while surrendering four home runs. While he finished off with four scoreless outings, he was relegated back to Triple-A where he stayed for the remainder of the year. At age 26, he has a chance to make the Twins&#8217; bullpen out of camp. The casualty of designating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=enlow-000bla&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prospects1500.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-02-10_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Blayne Enlow<\/a> for assignment came as a mild shock since he was protected for years despite his extended rehab from Tommy John surgery.
