Kudos to former Twins coach DEREK SHELTON on getting his contract extended to 2023 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. They have faith that he will improve the team going forwards.

Tyler Duffey has opted out of his deal with the Rangers. 5 scoreless innings in AAA wasn't good enough.

No earned runs, however in 4 outings he had one excellent result (2 clean innings) but 3 in which it took him 4 or 5 batters to register 3 outs, and his unearned run occurred in an inning featuring 2 hits and 1 walk.  No one pitches perfect ball every time, but I think more clean innings than not are the goal when trying to demonstrate major league value at AAA.  Tyler has to look out after his own best interests and I have no insight into what went into his opting out, but expecting a call-up seems unrealistic to me.

Expecting an add when rosters expand for Tyler. But a team would still have to clear a 40-man roster spot. You have to be lights out dynamite to expect this on short notice. But if no chance of getting to the majors, is it worth it for him to pitch for an AAA team for a month? I would think so, at least to
