The Twins acquired Cartaya in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday for minor league pitcher Jose Vazques. The Dodgers designated the 23-year-old Cartaya for assignment last week.

The team also came to terms with a large group of arbitration-eligible players, including Royce Lewis and Joe Ryan.

It's been a quiet offseason on the Twins' front, though they may finally be awaking from their slumber after acquiring a former Top-25 prospect from the Dodgers.
