Smeltzer elected free agency Tuesday after clearing outright waivers.
Smeltzer has been with the Twins since being acquired from the Dodgers in the July 2018 deal that sent infielder Brian Dozier to Los Angeles, but he may try his luck with a new organization now that he's on the open market for the first time in his career. The 27-year-old lefty made 15 appearances (12 starts) at the big-league level in 2022, going 5-2 with a 3.71 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 40:19 K:BB in 70.1 innings.
