April Fools!

Are you sure about that? Per Twitter:

@Shredderpunto 8:54 AM

"Retirement is not for me. I'm pleased to announce I will be back with the Minnesota Twins! #Piranhas #TwinsTerritory"

[DaveW]

Ha

Is it bad that when I clicked on this thread it didn't dawn on me it might be a joke until after I read the first post?

[TheLeviathan]

This needed to happen.

All I really read was 'minor league deal' and was thinking, 'Damn it, Dave. Couldn't you have least put this in the right forum? Now I have to move it.'

No, not bad.

In fact, it is possible.

In fact, it's almost likely.

BUT, IT IS NOT FUNNY!

In fact, I will NOW have to see my therapist!

It would make sense that he retire a Twin before this summer when he is inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame and have his number retired.

The simplest ones are the best ones.

If you had posted it in conjunction with 'Twins hire Gardy to manage Red Wings' I'd have believed it...

[ashbury]

I would rather sign Drew Butera. 

I would rather you or anyone sign him too. That way the Twins won't be tempted.

I saw who posted it before I clicked.

 

There are certain people for whom every day is April Fools Day.
