John Bonnes

RE: Cleveland This is the second year in row they've let go of an ace starting pitcher at the trade deadline when they were seemingly competing for the postseason. Last year, at least, they added help in the form of Puig and Reyes. This year ... no so much. I get not wanting to have malcontents on your team, but this seems a pretty high price to pay for clubhouse harmony. This is purely speculation, but I wonder if the org is bowing too much to Francona's wishes. It almost seems like CLE was going to dump Clevinger one way or the other, and this is the best (non-division) offer they got. Whatever. I'll take it. I like having him out of the division, out of the AL, and I think Cleveland got worse unless they make some other big moves at the deadline.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' worst week of the season, what to expect at the trade deadline, the lineup's shocking decline vs. left-handed pitching, Michael Pineda's return, the latest of many injury updates, and why the new playoff format might actually help save the Twins.

Absolutely nuts.

Saturday Update: Trevor Plouffe woke up and said there was more bad news today. Reports are now that one more player (3 total), two coaches and one other staffer tested positive. Per John Heyman, the St. Louis Cardinals have multiple positive COVID-19 tests within the organization, and their game tonight with the Brewers has been postponed. Saturday, former Twin Trevor Plouffe reported at least four more Cardinals tested positive. Saturday Update: Trevor Plouffe woke up and said there was more bad news today. Reports are now that one more player (3 total), two coaches and one other staffer tested positive. Per John Heyman, the St. Louis Cardinals have multiple positive COVID-19 tests within the organization, and their game tonight with the Brewers has been postponed. Saturday, former Twin Trevor Plouffe reported at least four more Cardinals tested positive. The Cardinals completed a two-game series with the Twins on Wednesday, and their current opponent, the Cleveland Indians, used the same visiting facilities yesterday that the Cardinals used Wednesday. At the very least this suggests that some portion of the Twins’ series versus Cleveland is in jeopardy. We’ll update this story as news breaks. Chris Long of KSTP reported that Twins players and staff should know the results of recent tests by game time. https://twitter.com/ChrisLongKSTP/status/1289295913031045120 SATURDAY Right away on Saturday morning, reports have come out that at least four more Cardinals players have tested positive for COVID. https://twitter.com/trevorplouffe/status/1289553717121835009 Plouffe's report has been confirmed by multiple other sources. On a more hopeful note, no Phillies players have tested positive today, per Jon Heyman. So while the virus has spread across the Marlins roster, the team they played against does not appear to have been impacted at this time. Hopefully this will also turn out to be the case for the Twins. Newer Update: View full article

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy the Fugees. Nicely done, Tyler.

I'm enjoying Nelson Cruz's choice: Soldado. Peppy and has the fun horn section.
