In his discussion with the Waseca Lions, Griffith was quoted as...9474Fri, 19 Jun 2020 15:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/60ish-games-isn39t-a-real-seasonbut-it39s-going-to-be-epic-r9472/One of the beautiful things about the game of baseball is the length of the season.

Fed up with the same offer being sliced different ways, the MLBPA had broken off negotiation talks and said simply, “We’re ready, let us know where to be.” The response to that from the owners and Manfred was to t...9465Wed, 17 Jun 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-show-must-go-on-dancing-for-the-division-r9464/To get caught up on what we're doing here, you can check out the introductory post in the series for an explanation of the premise and setup.
