On Monday the Atlanta Braves acquired Brian Matusz from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for in exchange for a couple minor leaguers. This deal may have seemed odd in the sense that Matusz is ineffective, owed $3.6mil the rest of the season, and the Braves released him immediately.

The Benefits of Total. System. Failure. Okay, this sucks, it sucks a lot. The Twins are bad, really bad, but you already knew that.

We shall see.
