	Despite being on the clock for the last nine months, the Orioles haven&#x2019;t given any clear indication about the direction in which they plan to go. When paths deviate before the draft even starts, mock drafts can be a mess in a hurry. But, like I said before, that doesn&#x2019;t mean we sholdn&#x2019;t t...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">12683</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jul 2022 11:00:16 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 2, White Sox 6: Twins Outplayed by White Sox Again</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-2-white-sox-6-twins-outplayed-by-white-sox-again-r12686/</link><description>Box Score

	If you&#x2019;ve paid even a second of attention to Twins fans lately, the dominant discussion point revolves around the bullpen&#x2019;s lack of quality; the team needs extra, quality arms, and they need them now. This feeling is well-founded; it seems like every close loss involves a reliever screwin...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">12681</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jul 2022 02:50:09 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Who's It Going to Be?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/whos-it-going-to-be-r12680/</link><description>The Orioles aren't doing anyone any favors.

	The Twins bullpen has been an endless discussion for fans the last month or more. Aside from&#xA0;Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax, almost every other Twins reliever has received criticism from the fan base.&#xA0;
