What does this mean for the June 6th Royce Lewis jersey giveaway?

Sir, does this mean that the Royce Lewis jersey giveaway is not happening?

The way the season is going, I wouldn't be waiting for the trade deadline, I'd be on the horn and moving Ryan in the next 2 weeks (for good offers)before he gets hurt again; don't want to tempt fate any more than they need to, and this "hanging around .500 to get in the playoffs" talk? I just SMH. The stars just aren't going to be aligning this year.

well, I hate the idea of losing Ryan generally, but who is making offers right now? A lot of teams don't even know if they're contenders or not, so we're not getting good offers right now we're getting "sure, I'll take him for 2 A-ball lottery ticket pitchers coming off TJ!" Good luck trying to sell off in May; there's maybe 1 buyer.

More likely they hope Arcia can perform well enough against MLB pitching that there will be interest at the deadline. I expect another mass exodus provided anyone is playing well enough to have a market. 

Arcia would have to hit .400 to garner any interest at the deadline.  The only interest in him this offseason was a minor league contract.

For a team that thinks they are contending they are not trading Ryan.  They have bought into the notion that they are a contender, otherwise Culpepper would have been up here.

It's all quite amazing when you consider the abject failure of key guys they were counting on and the mounting injuries.  It's a wonder they aren't 245 games below .500.  Oddly, it makes me want to root for them even more.  Ryan, Ober, Prielipp, Bradley, Matthews in the rotation.  Emergency move of Abel and Rojas to the pen - assuming everyone is healthy.  

'Tis but a scratch.  They're not dead yet!

A little surprised Lewis was sent to St. Paul. Seemed like a reset of his swing meant a trip to Ft. Myers for a month and then a minor league rehab until after the All Star break.

Tough luck for Ryan Jeffers. Good opportunity for Jackson. Arcia can help the Twins if he plays in a disciplined manner. It is an opportunity to show he has skills that play in MLB. 

Kaelen Culpepper will be called up in June if needed or after the All Star break. KC needs the AAA time to work on his game.

Seems like Bowman and Brebbia will be free agents. They would be wise to stick with St. Paul because more chances to get back to MLB will be available in time.

I'm going to guess that Luis Garcia pitches today and is DFA'd tomorrow to make room for whichever of Bowman and Brebbia they would feel worse about losing.

I don’t think it’s confirmed yet it’s St Paul for Royce. I agree with you and think he needs the Miguel Sano full reset in Fort Myers

Thanks. Lots of moving parts today! Zoll must be really banking on a 2-3 week reset in St Paul is going to do the trick. Hope he's right.
