2026 Transactions: Twins Promote Go, Mets Call Up Seelinger

This past week, the Tigers traded away two Minor League relievers to two different teams in cash trades. And on July 7, both are now in the Majors, as former Mud Hens Woo-Suk Go and Matt Seelinger were called up by their new teams.

Go promoted by Twins

The Twins selected relief pitcher Woo-Suk Go from Triple-A St. Paul.

Go was just acquired two days earlier in a cash trade with the Tigers. The right-hander originally signed with the Padres nearly three years ago, was traded to Miami in 2024 as part of the Luis Arraez deal, and landed with the Detroit organization one year ago.

He had a very good year before the promotion, as he struck out 54 over 41.1 IP and walked just 13. Low-to-mid-90s fastball, alongside a splitter, a slider, and a curveball for Go.

Seelinger called up by Mets

One day after the Mets traded for Matt Seelinger, the club selected his contract from Triple-A Syracuse.

Seelinger is a three-pitch pitcher who has a low-90s fastball that ran up to 95 MPH this season, coupled with a cutter and a slower knuckle-curve.

Guillo Zuniga and Alex Carrillo were designated for assignment by the Mets.

Recalls & options

Jacob Lopez (Athletics), Jack Brannigan (Pirates), Robert Gasser (Brewers), Hunter Dobbins (Cardinals), Max Lazar (Phillies), Nick Raquet (Orioles), Alimber Santa (Astros), Alan Roden (Twins), and James Karinchak (Braves) were recalled from the Minors.

Mike Burrows (Astros), Ronny Mauricio (Mets), Ryan Fernandez (Cardinals), Kyle Backhus (Phillies), Blake Perkins (Brewers), Owen Murphy (Braves), Kade Morris (Athletics), Cole Henry (Nationals), and Brian Serven (Athletics) were optioned to the Minors.

Other notes

The Royals signed former Twin Justin Topa to a Minor League deal. Topa was cut by the Twins earlier this season, signed a Minor League deal with the Blue Jays in June, and now lands in Kansas City’s organization.

Former Rule 5 pick Connor Thomas had his contract selected from Triple-A by the Braves. Additionally, the Braves re-signed Rowdy Tellez to a Minor League deal.

The Brewers selected outfielder Greg Jones from Triple-A Nashville. St. Louis also added a player to their 40-man roster, as pitcher Bruce Zimmermann was selected from Memphis.

Dodgers catcher Chuckie Robinson was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
