Twins Flip Rule 5 Pick Daniel Susac to Giants for 17-Year-Old Catching Prospect

Susac was the only position player taken in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft. The 24-year-old posted a .275/.349/.483 line with 18 homers at Triple-A Las Vegas in 2025, with evaluators noting defensive inconsistency and the hitter-friendly PCL context. Minnesota received switch-hitting DSL catcher Miguel Caraballo, 17, who logged a .264/.432/.442 line across 41 games. To manage its 40-man, Minnesota released outfielder Carson McCusker earlier in the day. In the Triple-A phase, the Twins lost relievers Aaron Sozak and John Stankiewicz and added reliever Sam Ryan and outfielder Garrett Spain.
