Marlins recalled 1B Lewin Diaz (traded in 2019 for Sergio Romo and Chris Vallimont).

Blankenhorn claimed by Seattle.

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.

Nothing to it. Joel Sherman of the NY Post listed Buxton as 1 of 7 potential replacements for Aaron Hicks. https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees/news/could-new-york-yankees-trade-for-minnesota-twins-center-fielder-byron-buxton-trade-deadline

Maybe more the 1993 Twins? 2 years removed from their '91 WS championship and 1 year after winning 90 games in '92 (2nd place finish). I don't recall what the expectations were for that team, but they still had Puckett, Knoblauch, Hrbek, Tapani, Erickson, Aguilera, and 41 year old Dave Winfield. Hope we're not entering a 1993-2000 like rut...

It was a satirical article. To date, Baffert has not been hired as a consultant...

Your wish has been granted. https://www.startribune.com/twins-will-no-longer-require-masks-at-target-field/600057340/ One day after announcing a phased increased of attendance, the Twins are removing their mask policy at Target Field, starting immediately. The team will still request that fans wear masks around the ballpark while not eating or drinking, but it will no longer be mandatory. Masks are still required for indoor areas.

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.

Gameday says Injury Delay. Who's injured?

Don't know where I saw the tweet, but some of the expected best teams (Twins, Dodgers, White Sox...) are a combined 2-23 in extra inning games, while some of the expected worst teams are doing quite well in them. Probably dumb luck....But maybe the runner on 2nd rule is helping to artificially create this parity illusion?

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.

You're right, the possibilities ARE endless....But I think if you do it that way, there needs to be a more prominent link for Clubs on the Forums index page. Otherwise they will rarely attract new users and will likely be even more of a Ghost Town than some of the MinnCentric boards have been.

I like the "clubs," but am wondering how the heck do I find it? Is there quicklink somewhere from the Forum homepage? Do I have to 'Follow' to know if there are new posts?

Why is Astudillo starting at 1B over Kiriloff? 1. Kepler - RF 2. Donaldson - 3B 3. Buxton - CF 4. Cruz - DH 5. Polanco - 2B 6. Garver - C 7. Cave - LF 8. Astudillo - 1B 9. Simmons - SS

Play egregious for Elijah Greene!

I think it is because they are on the west coast and Kiriloff is not on the taxi squad.

Just announced on KFAN... Blankenhorn recalled. Luke Farrell selected from taxi squad. Rooker reinstated.

Anyone surprised that Kepler has been staying in RF with Buxton out?

Rumors are that Rudolph could reunite with Stefanski in Cleveland. Patriots are also interested.

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.
