Have Yanks/Jays on, important game broadcast freebie MLB. Scherzer/Fried.
All MLBers are wearing yellow ribbon today, MLB’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Day.
Yanks 4-3, bottom 3rd.
Willi, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you, woo, woo, woo.🎵
Castro was my favorite Twin. Last 30 games, post-trade, Castro:
.167
.203
.258
in 66 plate appearances.
Small sampling but we never know what mental impact a trade has on a player.
I see this as a done deal. They are banking/tanking on a lost year of '27, another year of no-service time while developing at AA and AAA levels, and high draft positioning.
All the while raiding '26 revenue sharing and positioning for a "Detroit" kind of thing beginning in '28.
WSox up over the Tigers, 3-2, in the 4th. They are inviting Twins to switch places in line.
If there were 188 games in the schedule, Twins might challenge the Rockies as well.
Good article with a question re: Twins development of arms.
Lots of criticism of the article but the implication is for all of ball. Speed kills arms. Outliers can tolerate the strain, many can't. Never know who those outliers will be.
I would focus on pitch mix development/refinement and more use of lower body to gain torque and power/speed but can't prove it from this recliner. Do believe it would result in better long term success.
