But I got a phone c...3434Thu, 12 Mar 2015 19:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tyler-grimes-is-happy-with-his-decision-r3435/In December, Grimes got a phone call from Twins General Manager Terry Ryan.

How are you doing?” After exchanging pleasantries, I said to the young pitching prospect, “Wow! That is a lot of envelopes! Is that normal?” He nodded and said, “Every day!
