Twins' Kurt Suzuki clears waivers

Minnesota Twins catcher Kurt Suzuki has cleared waivers, according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

What It Means:

Suzuki clearing waivers means he is now able to be traded to any club. The 37 year-old veteran is slashing .283/.323/.435 with six taters in 289 plate appearances this year. Suzuki, who will be a free agent after this season, has around $1.54 million left on his contract. It's possible that he garners interest from contending teams.

Suzuki's .326 wOBA this year ranks seventh-best among catchers with at least 250 plate appearances. We project him to hit two more taters and post a .653 OPS over the remaining course of the season.
