Banuelos signed a minor-league contract with Minnesota that includes an invitation to big-league camp, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.
Banuelos spent the majority of his 2025 campaign in the Orioles organization at Triple-A Norfolk, where he struggled to a .107 average with one home run, two RBI and four runs scored in 21 games. He'll likely serve as depth at Triple-A St. Paul as he returns to the organization where he played from 2018-2023.
