Giants' Carlos Torres: Finds new organization
Torres agreed Monday with the Giants on a minor-league contract, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Torres will move on to his fourth organization of the season after stints with the Padres, Tigers and Twins. The veteran right-hander saw his only MLB action with Detroit, appearing in four games in June and surrendering five earned runs over six frames. The 36-year-old will likely have difficulty cracking the San Francisco bullpen while he lacks a 40-man roster spot, but he'll at least provide some extra depth at Triple-A Sacramento after the organization traded away Ray Black and three other big-league relievers last week.

Twins' Carlos Torres: Dropped from 40-man roster
The Twins designated Torres for assignment Sunday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Torres was pushed off the 40-man roster after the Twins bolstered their bullpen Saturday with the acquisition of Sergio Romo from the Marlins. The Twins will have seven days to either trade, waive or release Torres. Since the 36-year-old righty has more than five years of MLB service time, he would have the luxury of refusing an outright assignment to Triple-A Rochester.

Twins' Carlos Torres: Contract selected
Torres' contract was selected from Triple-A Rochester prior to Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
The 36-year-old righty was designated for assignment earlier this year by the Tigers, but he latched on with Minnesota and worked his way back to the majors. He logged a 4.15 ERA in 17.1 innings (eight appearances) and should offer some length out of the bullpen.

Torres agreed to a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday, Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports.
He recently elected free agency rather than an outright assignment to Triple-A as a member of the Tigers, but the deal with the Twins was apparently more to his liking. Torres will serve as organizational relief depth going forward.

Tigers' Carlos Torres: Clears waivers
Torres cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
A 36-year-old with just 15.2 innings and an ERA of nearly 7 over the last two seasons was understandably not a particularly enticing option on the waiver wire. Torres will remain in an organizational depth role for the Tigers.

Torres' contract was purchased from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

Nationals' Carlos Torres: Signs minor-league deal with Nationals
Torres signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
Torres has latched on with the Nationals after failing to secure an Opening Day roster spot with the Indians and subsequently opting out of his contract. He'll report to the minors and look to eventually work his way onto the major-league roster. According to Cotillo, Torres' new deal includes multiple opt-out clauses, so he could again elect free agency if he fails to make the big-league roster by a certain date.

Indians' Carlos Torres: Will not make team
Torres failed to win an Opening Day roster spot, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
The Indians would like to keep Torres within the organization, but the club will have to figure out a new deal for the 35-year-old in order to make that happen. During 67 games with the Brewers last season, Torres posted a 4.21 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 72.2 relief innings. Expect a decision on his future within the coming days.

Torres was granted his release by the Indians on Saturday, T.J. Zuppe of The Athletic Cleveland reports.
Torres was looking to break camp with the Indians in a relief role, but after being informed he wouldn't make the team, Torres decided to opt out of his minor-league deal and search for a major-league opportunity elsewhere. The 35-year-old has been serviceable since transitioning to a full-time relief role in 2015, compiling 44 holds and a 3.77 ERA across 212.2 innings.

Indians' Carlos Torres: Signs with Indians

Torres will look to latch on in the Indians' bullpen after posting a 4.21 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 67 appearances with Milwaukee last season. Though he fared much better in 2016, he will likely begin the upcoming campaign at the Triple-A level unless he's able to impress the organization this spring.

Carlos Torres: Elects free agency
Torres will hit the open market after declining his outright assignment from the Brewers.
Torres will look to latch on with another organization after struggling through a year in Milwaukee's bullpen. Although his final ERA was 4.21, the 35-year-old's FIP (4.93) was a better indicator of his season.

Brewers' Carlos Torres: Outrighted to Triple-A
Torres cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday.
Torres, who is set to turn 35 before the start of next season, is coming off a rough 2017 campaign during which he compiled an unremarkable 4.21 ERA and 56:33 K:BB across 72.2 innings. He's expected to refuse his outright assignment, making him a free agent. Wherever he ends up, he likely won't be more than a low-leverage bullpen piece in 2018.
