All minor leaguers.

The Rangers' lefty is Ken Esposito (1973, I believe)
The Twin is catcher John Lonchar (circa 1977)
The Oriole is the singular Chet Trail (1969) whose unique position in baseball history is that, thanks to the old "first year player" rule, to not risk losing him if they tried to send him down, the Yankees had to keep on the major league roster throughout 1964 - and was actually made eligible for the World Series even though he'd been back home for a month. Trail never played a major league game, never even sat on the bench during one.
