Diego Cartaya News: Cut loose by Minnesota

The Twins released Cartaya on Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Cartaya was acquired from the Dodgers via trade over the offseason but looked completely lost at Triple-A St. Paul, going 5-for-59 with 40 strikeouts before he was placed on the development list July 1 and ultimately cut loose. The former top prospect is still just 23 years old, but his future in baseball looks murky.
