Twins Send Jose Miranda to Triple-A Following Costly Baserunning Error

The Minnesota Twins have opted to demote Jose Miranda after he walked away from a base, assuming he was out, despite being ruled safe.

The Minnesota Twins have optioned third baseman Jose Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul, following a significant baserunning error during a game. Miranda, who had been ruled safe, mistakenly walked off the base and was tagged out.

Here’s the controversial moment:

Rocco Baldelli, the Twins’ manager, expressed the need for Miranda to improve on such crucial plays after the game, remarking, “Jose has to do better on that play… never allow something like that to happen.”

The Twins suffered a 4-0 loss in the same match, worsening their record to 4-11 this season. This demotion could result from Miranda’s overall performance, where he is hitting .167/.167/.250. He had one minor-league option left, so this move might not only be attributed to the baserunning blunder.
