Why Swapping Nick Gordon for Steven Okert Made Sense on Both Sides

Miranda can’t play OF & Santana is best hitter from right side, so Jose is SOL unless one of the 1B is hurt.

Miranda is also the guy who doesn't look like he's fully recovered from surgery yet, so extended Spring Training and then saint Paul probably makes more sense for him anyways.

 A wake up call for Jovani Moran to figure out how to throw more strikes. Hope he does w that great arm.

And for the record, I like Nick Gordon. By all accounts, he was a good teammate. IIRC, Buxton even mentioned last season that they missed his energy in the clubhouse. But, he was redundant on this roster and there are more talented (potentially) players waiting in the wings. Hope he has success in Miami.

Agree on Gordon as a top 5 pick was poor. The Twins need TO STOP drafting SS in the first round. 5 tool OF , like Jenkins, are where the focus should be.

Don't forget every single team passed on Aaron Judge in rd 1, except the Yankees.
