Major League Baseball met twice with the union this week, and while the results may not have been substantial, at least they’re going through the motions. After meeting for less than 10 minutes before loc...11811Fri, 28 Jan 2022 19:20:10 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/still-looking-up-for-larnach-r11807/Trevor Larnach was front and center for a brief moment in 2021, crushing homers and brightening the future of the offense.
