The Toronto Blue Jays dealt right-handed reliever Tommy Nance to the Minnesota Twins on Friday in exchange for catcher/infielder prospect Ryan Sprock and an undisclosed amount of international bonus pool money.
Nance, 35, was in his third season in Toronto after one season apiece with the Chicago Cubs (2021) and Miami Marlins (2022) to open his MLB career.
Through 32 games, Nance had amassed a 1-2 record and a 3.82 ERA, tossing 34 strikeouts against 13 walks. Right-handed batters are hitting just .159 against him in 2026.
Sprock, 21, was an eighth-round draft pick by Minnesota in the 2025 draft. He has split this season between Class-A Fort Myers and High-A Cedar Rapids, posting a .297 average, five homers, 38 RBIs and 14 stolen bases between the two levels.
The Twins transferred right-hander Mick Abel (right elbow inflammation) to the 60-day injured list to make room for Nance on the 40-mnan roster.
