Cut by Twins
The Twins released Jackson on Thursday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, but rather than keeping him on the minor-league staff, the team will now cut ties with the 36-year-old reliever. In 26.1 innings with Minnesota this season, he posted a 7.52 ERA and 1.41 WHIP alongside a 29:9 K:BB. He'll now attempt to latch on with another club -- most likely on a minor-league deal.

Jackson is a journeyman who has pitched for six teams and two leagues (two stints in Japan) in the past six years. He finally found some stability in the majors last season with Toronto where he had a decent 23.3% K% and 7.8% BB% in 29.2 innings. Despite a 2.12 ERA he was left off the playoff roster for the Blue Jays. The Twins apparently believed in his success because he signed a major league deal. He'll compete for a spot in the bullpen this spring.
