Vincent signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent landed a minor-league contract with the Rangers in March but was released Tuesday after he posted a 4.11 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 15.1 innings across 15 relief appearances with Triple-A Round Rock. The 34-year-old will report to Triple-A St. Paul going forward, but he's made major-league appearances in each of the last nine seasons and could be an option to join Minnesota's bullpen at some point.

Vincent, who signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers in March, was released Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent inked a MiLB deal with Texas just before Opening Day in hopes of eventually making his way back to the big leagues. Things didn't go to plan for the veteran right-hander, as he posted a modest 4.11 ERA and unimpressive 1.66 WHIP with Triple-A Round Rock prior to Tuesday's release. Vincent could latch on with another club on what would most likely be another minor-league deal.

Vincent signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent was released by the Rangers on Saturday after failing to secure a spot on the team's Opening Day roster. However, the two sides were able to reach an agreement on a new minor-league deal just one day later. Vincent should begin the season at Triple-A Round Rock but could join the major-league club at some point in 2021.

Vincent was released by the Rangers on Saturday, but the team hopes to re-sign him to a minor-league deal, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent failed to win a spot on Texas' Opening Day roster as a non-roster invitee, but the Rangers apparently still want to keep him around. The 34-year-old has recorded an ERA no worse than 4.43 in any of his nine big-league seasons, however, so it's possible he latches on elsewhere on a major-league deal.

Vincent signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday as a non-roster invitee, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent has appeared in the majors in each of the past nine seasons, and he'll compete for a job in the Rangers' bullpen during spring training in 2021. The 34-year-old's contract was selected by the Marlins in early August 2020, and he recorded three saves for the team with a 4.43 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 22.1 innings across 21 relief appearances.

Vincent was left off the Marlins' 28-man roster for the team's wild-card series with the Cubs that begins Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent will still retain a spot on the Marlins' taxi squad, making him eligible to pitch as soon as the second round of the postseason, should Miami advance past the Cubs. Braxton Garrett was added to the wild-card series roster as a replacement for Vincent.

Vincent did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless 10th inning to earn the save Monday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent came in to maintain a one-run lead in the 10th inning, after Brandon Kintzler blew a save chance in the ninth frame. He needed only six pitches to do successfully, getting all three outs on balls in play. Vincent now has three saves on the season, but is most likely to pick up only occasional saves behind Kintzler.

Vincent (1-2) gave up a run on two hits in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins erased a three-run deficit in the top of the eighth inning, only for Vincent to allow the Mets to retake the lead on Wilson Ramos' RBI single. The 34-year-old righty has a 3.97 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 11.1 innings this season, while adding a pair of saves. Vincent doesn't typically get much action in high-leverage situations, but he's put together a stable set of performances in 2020.

Vincent hit a batter but pitched a scoreless seventh inning to earn the save in a 3-0 win over the Mets in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Vincent hit Brandon Nimmo with a pitch, but quickly erased the mistake by getting J.D. Davis to hit into a game-ending double play. The 34-year-old Vincent has picked up two saves in nine appearances this year. He has a 3.48 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and four strikeouts in 10.1 innings. Brandon Kintzler had pitched three innings over the last four days -- when he's unavailable, Vincent seems to be near the top of the list for collecting spot saves.

Vincent gave up one hit over 1.2 scoreless innings Friday, striking out one, to record his first save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Brandon Kintzler has worked three straight games coming into Friday and was unavailable, but it's still somewhat surprising that Vincent was the pitcher called upon in his place with the game on the line. It's only the second appearance of the season for the 34-year-old, but it's hard to argue with the results -- Vincent has a win and a save to go with a 0.00 ERA in three innings.
