However, the ownership group forced a $30 million payroll cut, and casualties are associated with that kind of drop.

The stuff looked intact, but the question of whether the Twins could add a pitch to take him to the next level remained. We’ve had three starts since then, and the results and usage patterns are all over the place.

His signing as a teenager was documented in the 2011 movie Ballplayer: Pelotero.

While Ryan Jeffers is certainly no Joe Mauer, it was the former second-round pick’s time to shine in a regular role.
