"Minnesota marked the seventh stop in Ramirez's 14-year career. The 34-year-old was called up from Triple-A St. Paul in August after the Twins' bullpen was gutted at the trade deadline. Ramirez notched a two-out save in his first game with the club. He posted a 2.45 ERA across nine outings and closed his Minnesota tenure with five straight scoreless appearances. Ramirez was designated for assignment in late August. He elected free agency shortly after the season ended."
"Ramirez has plenty of starting experience, with 96 MLB starts under his belt. It's been a while since he's worked extensively in that capacity, though. Ramirez made a career-high 27 starts with Tampa Bay in 2015. After pitching almost exclusively as a reliever in 2016, he made 19 starts in 2017 between the Rays and Mariners. A shoulder strain cost Ramirez the majority of the first half of 2018, but he returned to make 10 starts with Seattle."
Erasmo Ramirez, 34, plans to pitch in 2026 and is training as a starter. He threw 11 innings for the Twins after a late-August call-up from Triple-A St. Paul, posting a 2.45 ERA across nine outings and finishing with five straight scoreless appearances before being designated for assignment and electing free agency. Ramirez has 96 career MLB starts but has been mostly a reliever over the past seven seasons. He has a 4.34 ERA across 860 MLB innings, has shifted toward cutter/sinker usage, and now profiles as a swingman covering multiple innings as needed.
