The Minnesota Twins released minor league catcher Derek Bender on Thursday after he told opposing hitters the types of pitches that were coming to the plate during at-bats in the game last week that eliminated his team from playoff contention, sources told ESPN.

Bender was with the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels, a Single-A team in the Florida State League.

Bender had told teammates he wanted the season to be over, according to sources.

Nice! He has a real future ahead of him in baseball.
