Former San Francisco Giants reliever Sam Dyson is set to miss the entire 2020 season recovering from shoulder surgery.
It’s no big surprise then that the Minnesota Twins decided to outright him off the MLB roster, rather than paying him a projected $6.4 million salary in his final year of arbitration.
On the heels of that decision, Dyson rejected a minor league assignment, opting instead for free agency.
The 31-year-old proved to be a successful reclamation project for the Giants after flaming out in the closer’s role with the Texas Rangers.
