Oof, if they're going to trade him for 'back of the pen help', then they need to just keep him.

I think some people use "back of the pen" to describe the best relievers on a team. Here is a recent article on the Kelvin Herrera trade that does so:

To me, it sounds more like the worst, so I just avoid the phrase entirely.

Seth, any ideas if Lewis is getting moved up yet?

 

Not yet.

 

As in, ,he's' not moving up yet.

And, at the risk of restoking the anger of the "who cares, they're only a bunch of 16 year olds" crowd, the DSL Twins are off to an amazing start and are really hitting the cover off the ball with a team BA north of .300

 

I believe a few of last year's DSL Twins are now state-side.

Not Lewis, but it has been announced Kirilloff has moved up:https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-alex-kirilloff-promoted-to-high-a/

An impressive start! Maybe it's time to swap Mejia for Romero in the big league rotation?
