While he&#x2019;s had something of an up-and-down season in terms of stuff and success, it seems that he&#x2019;s trending down more recently as we approach June.

The Twins sent four prospects, including Yennier Can&#xF3; and Cade Povich, to Baltimore, and L&#xF3;pez lasted less than a year in the organization. In parts of two seasons, he posted a 4.8...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16288</guid><pubDate>Thu, 30 May 2024 22:09:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Make it Official!
