Former Twins corner infielder José Miranda and the San Diego Padres have agreed to a minor league deal with an invite to big league camp in spring training, according to Just Baseball's Aram Leighton.
The Twins released Miranda in early November after he had a rough 2025 season. He began the year on the Twins' 26-man roster, but he was demoted after hitting .167/.167/.250 (13 OPS+) with one home run and five RBI in 12 games. The demotion came immediately after he committed a costly baserunning mistake.
Miranda struggled immensely upon being demoted to Triple-A St.
