		Minnesota signed RHP Austin Brice to an MiLB deal and assigned him to Double-A Wichita. Brice has 144 big-league games under his belt between 2016-2022, spread out between the Marlins, the Reds, the Marlins again, the Red Sox, and the Pirates. Of course, you may recall that...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16161</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 May 2024 09:11:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Make It Official!

As a prospect, there is hope that a player will become a star at the big-league level, but that is rarely the case.

Typically, they've been brief highs, followed by long periods of lows that are eventually attributed to injury. As we watch another prolonged slump, it&#x2019;s fair to wonder whether he&#x2019;s dealing with more physical issues, or if this is a...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16151</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2024 14:29:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Simeon Woods Richardson: The Latest Testament to the Minnesota Twins Pitching Pipeline</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/simeon-woods-richardson-the-latest-testament-to-the-minnesota-twins-pitching-pipeline-r16147/</link><description>Most people think of Austin Martin as the prize for the Twins in the 2021 Jos&#xE9; Berr&#xED;os trade.
