Three 2024 Twins that were cut loose by the team have made Opening Day rosters. Matt Bowman (Orioles), Steven Okert (Astros) and Manuel Margot (Tigers). There may be more ex-Twins on major league active rosters that I haven't noticed.

The Twins sure do seem to sign a lot of free agents one year that no other team will sign to a MLB contract the following year. Or even a MiLB contract in this case.

The musical chairs continue. But I wonder ... was he selected from a menu of some sort?!

Real estate? Sure, good choice Alex.

[shortround81]

Too bad he didn't toe the rubber 'cuz you know what they say about pitching and real estate. Location, location, location

Which do you think will be more animated? Joe or the statue?

Caleb Boushley had his contract purchased by the Rangers. Boushley pitched in two games last year for the Twins.

Not a new transaction, but noticed that Kyle Farmer is hitting very well up in Colorado thus far (yeah, I now, it's only mid-April): batting .375 with a .422 OBP. He seems to be getting lots of starts. Good for him!

Reading about his status, one article mentioned that he had been AL rookie of the year back in 2016. I had totally forgotten about that.

Jays batted 19th in MLB in 2024.

Poppkins hired by the Jays in the off-season after Twins cut him loose.

Surprised by this. Chargois has been pretty effective when healthy.

Not that I've paid a lot of attention to him but it seems like every time I hear Jorge Lopez's name come up, it's not for positive reasons

For those that thought DFA'ing Scott Blewett was a horrible move, the Orioles have already DFA'd him. He is available.
