Elite mustache game.  He’ll be a great coach someday.  

[Linus]

As Scotty Bowman once said about a trade - nothing for nothing ain’t much.

New assistant hitting coach Trevor Amicone certainly would have worked with him during Gasper’s time in the Yankees system.

Gasper had great hitting numbers in his AAA debut in 2024 — at age 28. Primarily a first baseman, but has played some catcher in the minors and a few games at second base too.

Went 0-for-18 in a cup of coffee for Boston.

Gasper immediately joins the Twins 40-man roster. (Moran had been removed in 2023.)

According to Fangraphs, Gasper’s 18 career at-bats without a hit is the most in Boston franchise history.

Santa...you gotta do better than that!

Twins acquire 29 YOA Mickey Gaspar C/INF from Boston for Jovani Moran. I disapprove

[RpR]

But he was RAKING in the minors with a .970 OPS!

East Coast media is brutal and dwells on a guys psyche though. That translates to like two hits here in the Midwest.

Goody, I was worried about Margot's pinch hitting record being forgotten.

Interesting that Boston, needing catchers, trades a catcher.

[Twodogs]

I think I'd rather still have the pitcher?
