MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Twins acquired 46-year-old pitcher Jesse Orosco in a trade with the New York Yankees.

Orosco, designated for assignment by the Yankees, was acquired Sunday for a player to be named.

Orosco, the oldest player in the major leagues, had a 10.38 ERA in 15 games with the Yankees after being acquired from San Diego on July 22.

In 24 seasons, Orosco has pitched in 1,244 games, the most in major league history.
