Twins Sign Pitcher Who Has Been Released Three Times This Year
The Minnesota Twins signed the right-hander to a minor league contract, with Voth starting for Triple-A St. Paul the same night the deal was announced.
The move came hours after Voth elected free agency following his second DFA by the Blue Jays in two months.

The 2026 Paper Trail
Voth entered the season on a minor league deal with the White Sox, was released coming out of spring training, signed with Toronto on March 25, was designated for assignment on April 6, re-signed with the Blue Jays on April 11, was designated again on May 30, elected free agency, and is now a Twin.
That is four organizations and three free agency elections across roughly ten weeks.
His big league results in Toronto were rough: six runs allowed across six innings in two appearances, with eight hits, five walks, and three wild pitches.

Like before, there's still a chance he remains with the org and signs another minors deal with AAA Buffalo.
His Triple-A work told a different story.
In eight starts at Triple-A Buffalo, he posted a 2.90 ERA with a 17 percent strikeout rate and a 6.8 percent walk rate, numbers that are modest but usable for a starting depth arm.
Voth turns 34 at the end of the month and has a career 4.77 ERA across 209 big league appearances with the Nationals, Orioles, Mariners, and Blue Jays, including a stint last season in Japan's NPB with Chiba Lotte.
The Twins are dealing with injuries at multiple rotation spots and need every arm available in St. Paul.
Voth provides that at no cost.
