Kendry Rojas, Cuban lefty, on a fast track to the majors after the Twins acquired him at the deadline in the Louie Varland deal. He sits 93-98 mph with a three-pitch mix and a track record of whiffs, giving Minnesota a potential frontline starter or elite reliever if the development continues. In AAA, he’s adjusting to better-hitters and longer outings, with a modest 5.40 ERA but eye-catching strikeout potential as he sharpens command.

Rojas’ path hasn’t been linear—injuries and limited innings clouded the ceiling—but velocity gains and improved pitch execution hint at a high upside. He’s the youngest arm on the Saints and could factor into big-league plans as soon as next year. The trade also included Alan Roden, and the Twins have earmarked other young starters like Mick Abel and Taj Bradley as part of their rebuild. Representing Cuba remains a core part of his identity as he climbs the ladder.
