Gossett signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Thursday. Gossett made 20 appearances (18 starts) for Triple-A Worcester in 2021 and recorded a 4.22 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 98 innings. He hasn't appeared in the big leagues since he made five starts for the Athletics in 2018, but he'll likely serve as a non-roster invitee if spring training occurs in 2022.

The Red Sox reassigned Gossett to their minor-league camp Wednesday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports. Gossett is expected to serve as organizational rotation depth for the Red Sox at Triple-A Worcester to begin the season. Before missing the entire 2019 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, the 28-year-old righty made 23 starts at the big-league level with Oakland between the 2017 and 2018 seasons, logging a 5.91 ERA over 115.2 innings.

Gossett signed a minor-league deal with the Red Sox on Monday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. Gossett was originally drafted by the Red Sox but elected to go to college instead. He's spent his entire professional career thus far as a member of the Athletics' organization, posting a 5.91 ERA in 23 starts at the big-league level. He hasn't pitched at any level since suffering an elbow injury early in the 2018 season which wound up requiring Tommy John surgery. There's certainly a chance he finds his way to a rotation spot in Boston this year, but the surgery and the lack of a track record at the highest level mean expectations should be rather low.

Gossett was released by Oakland on Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Gossett last pitched back in June of 2018, missing the next season and a half due to Tommy John surgery. He's seemingly healthy now, as he was part of the Athletics' player pool, but he was designated for assignment Wednesday and is now no longer part of the organization in any capacity. Gossett recorded an unimpressive 5.91 ERA in 23 career major-league starts prior to the injury, so he's unlikely to have too many suitors on the open market.

The Athletics designated Gossett for assignment Wednesday. Gossett's removal from the 40-man roster frees up a spot for Daniel Mengden (elbow), who was activated from the 45-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old Gossett didn't pitch at any level in 2019 while recovering from August 2018 Tommy John surgery, but he's been fully healthy since the start of spring training. Gossett previously made 23 starts for the Athletics between 2017 and 2018, going 4-14 with a 5.91 ERA and 6.5 K/9.
