One of the best success stories over the course of recent Minnesota Twins seasons has been Brock Stewart . Once a 6th round pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers , Stewart had a rising profile only to be wrecked by injuries.
After being out of the big leagues for nearly five years, Stewart resurfaced with the Twins and showcased electric stuff. While the injury concerns persisted, he was among the best high-leverage arms in the sport.

As Derek Falvey continues the Twins selloff , Stewart now gets to go back to where it all started and try to win a ring.

Dodgers get Brock Stewart from Minnesota Twins
Brock Stewart has been healthy for the Minnesota Twins this season. With the season now having reached uncompetitive status, it makes sense for him to be healthy and good elsewhere. The Los Angeles Dodgers are a perfect landing place.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are finalizing a deal to acquire right-handed reliever Brock Stewart from the Minnesota Twins, sources tell ESPN.

Minnesota has used Stewart in 39 games this season and he owns an impressive 2.38 ERA across 34 innings. He has a 41/11 K/BB and is every bit as dominant as any other late-inning reliever.
In 2023, his first season with the Twins, Stewart owned a 0.65 ERA and went 14 games without allowing a run. Across his 28 appearances, he allowed just two, and they came in the same game. Unfortunately injuries cut that season short and he pitched just 43 1/3 innings the past two seasons.
Brock Stewart, aka "Beef Stew," is a Dodger once again!

It makes sense for the Twins to cash in on Stewart while he is pitching well and healthy. The Dodgers bullpen needs serious help with Kirby Yates struggling and Tanner Scott hurt. They had interest in both Jhoan Duran (who went to the Philadelphia Phillies ) and Griffin Jax .

Ultimately Los Angeles landed on a name that has familiarity to them. This could be a fun full-circle moment for Brock and his family.
