Some years, the players were part of the initially announced roster, and other times, there have been replacement players for injured or unavailable players. Last season, Sonny Gray and Pablo L&#xF3;pez r...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16545</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jul 2024 23:15:13 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Make It Official!

He&#x2019;s been part of the Twins organization since signing as a 16-year-old, but his time is quickly coming to an end.
