He hasn't pitched in 2022.  I forget the details why.  Fill me in: when is his TJS scheduled?

I believe Brayan Medina was assigned to the DSL (Dominican Summer League) which opens play June 6th.

Just to be a ****-kicker-upper. Per a John Heyman article in the New York Post. 

Article (The first two paragraphs are about Paddack.)

The Mets made a good call here. They weren’t giving up anything significant in players either and still didn’t do the deal.

I've been wondering through this whole Paddack situation. (I realize this isn't the first time this has happened to the Twins or any other MLB team).

Are the physical checkpoints a player has to go through for a trade vs a free agent signing different? Maybe this is common knowledge. I'm genuinely curious to know.

I'm assuming his first TJ surgery was the "old style".....the new TJ now has a double-band procedure which is supposed to not only be stronger, but requires shorter recuperation time.  Don't know if the newer procedure is doable the 2nd time around, but I hope it is.....

 Could we have packages Rogers and maybe a minor league prospect or two. For let's say montas or another pitcher of equal value. I don't think he will be a twin next year. We will have maeda back.
