Hasn't been made official, but all signs are pointing towards Mahle making his debut start on Friday against Toronto and Jose Berrios.

No.

Two catchers in a row! Twins just drafted this guy in the 12th.

We got a catcher! Andrew Cossetti - St. Joseph's (PA)

Twins have signed 2 relief pitchers to minor league contracts: Brock Stewart (pitched in 36 games for LAD from '16-'19 and 10 games for TOR in '19) https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/stewabr01.shtml Ben Heller (made 31 relief appearances for the Yankees from 2016 to 2020) https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hellebe01.shtml

Hey, another SS! Dalton Shuffield

Totally agree with this assessment. I really enjoyed Obi-Wan! Was it pointless? A bit, yeah....We all knew that all of the main characters had to survive and live to fight another day in A New Hope. But I think McGregor is outstanding as a younger Obi-Wan and it was cool to see him in that role again and to find some way to incorporate Vader as well. I'm hopeful as well that Disney can find some new stories to tell that resonate with fans.

I've enjoyed all 3 episodes, but yes, REALLY liked the 3rd episode. Some of the suspense is obviously lost though knowing that the main characters are all fine in A New Hope.

Switched phone providers recently and got HBO Max for free. Watching 'Barry' with Bill Hader. It's pretty good! Seems to be a lot of good shows on HBO Max that I haven't seen but want to watch like The Wire, The Newsroom, West Wing, Big Love, True Detective, among others. I'm open to suggestions from others who have the channel!

Did anyone else watch The White Lotus on HBO/HBO Max? It was only 6 episodes...Considered a dark comedy. Good cast. A little slow, but I liked it!

Rich Rollins - 1962 & 1962 (There were 2 AS games that year) Harmon Killebrew - 1966, 1969, 1970 (seasons in which a clear majority of his games/AB's were at 3B) Gary Gaetti - 1988 & 1989 Miguel Sano - 2017

Been a rollercoaster of a season for sure, but at 11-14 they are on pace to win 36 games. The Vegas over/under on Timberwolves wins prior to the season? 35.5 wins

AA LHP Evan Sisk is the 2nd player.

J.A. Happ to STL for John Gant and AA LHP Evan Sisk.

Trade is done. Woods-Richardson and Austin Martin going to Twins.

The Twins got 2 decent pitching prospects, including one who was rated #98 overall in 2020, for a 41 year old DH on an expiring deal. As one of one the better relief pitchers in baseball consistently for the past 6 seasons and still with 1 1/2 years of control, Taylor Rogers should have a bit more trade value than as just a throw-in as it seems in deals #1 and especially #2.

I think everyone wringing their hands about the fact that Buxton doesn't want to play for the Twins or that negotiations are over need to take a deep breath, 1. Nowhere in Rosenthal's article does it state that negotiations are over. The Twins offered $73 million guaranteed and the Buxton camp made a counteroffer. The Twins followed that up by offering $80 million and Buxton rejected that. 2. If Buxton simply didn't want to play for the Twins, would his camp have even made a counteroffer?

1. Cade Cunningham - PG not a need, but Cade might be great. 2. Evan Mobley - Fills a size need/would slot nicely next to KAT. Lineup of D'lo/Ant/McDaniels/Mobley/KAT would have a ton of potential. 3. Jalen Suggs - Again, PG not a need, but Suggs is a hometown guy who clearly is a top-3 talent in this draft. I think it was better for the Wolves to end the season on a positive note instead of tanking. 40% chance of keeping the pick by tanking vs 27% chance.

I was wondering the same thing. Why is he so low on the prospect rankings? Is his stuff not expected to translate to MLB?

To think we started the season 5-2... 7-21 since then.

Wolves have looked a LOT better now that nearly everyone (sans Beasley) are healthy. It seems that replacing Saunders with Finch as the coach was a good idea too. I know many people are wishing that they'd tank the rest of the season to try and keep their 1st round pick, but I think it is a good decision to end the season on a high note. No guarantees the lottery ping-pong balls would "reward" them anyway.

If I recall, I don't think he did great, but a cool moment was him participating in the HR Derby at Target Field and the reception he received.

Admittedly, I know nothing about Sabato (or any of the other draft prospects)...Seems like ceiling could be Pete Alonso or could flame out similar to former Twins 1st round pick Henry Sanchez (RIP).
