One of the biggest issues has been how much batters have found success against his fastball.

He was getting himself into good counts and getting on base 31% of the time. Unfortunately, there was little sign of power as his .244 slugging percentage is tough to swallow for a power-hitting first...10803Wed, 26 May 2021 02:38:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/analyzing-jos%C3%A9-berr%C3%ADos-trade-value-r10802/I will let you read Matthew’s article in full as he does a tremendous job of explaining why now is the time, but will add that I’ve been ready to move on simply due to his lack of development.
