    I grew up in Roseville, MN and will always be a Twins fan. My dad took me to the 1985 All-Star Game at the Metrodome where we sat behind home plate. What a thrill, I was 15 at the time.

    I missed this one earlier... the Twins have signed Orlando Arcia to a minor league deal. Twins Sign Orlando Arcia To Minor League Deal - MLB Trade Rumors Technically, this is not former Twins news. However, Orlando is the younger brother of former Twin great Oswaldo Arcia. So, there's that.

    Rich Hill may soon be available again. If the Twins trade off more of their rotation, I could totally see them signing Rich for a spot start or two. Royals Designate Rich Hill For Assignment - MLB Trade Rumors

    Seeing the Braves activate Luke Williams made me think of former Twin Luke Hughes who held the record for most Career Home Runs in the ABL (modern day Australian Baseball League) at the time of his retirement in 2020. He has since been surpassed by Tim Kennelly who spent some time in MiLB but never made it to the majors as Luke Hughes did. If I recall, I think Luke's 1st MLB hit was a home run. He logged 106 MLB games.

    This is it, if you ask me. They are not a team that generates any sort of excitement or anticipation of what might happen next. They rarely, if ever, attempt to manufacture runs. They play poor defense with equally poor all-around baseball fundamentals (TK would be sick watching this team). Every single "move" seems to be strictly by the book (the advanced stat sheet) with no awareness of, or adjustments made from, game-situation observations. There was one spark of optimism which got me excited to watch a Twins game this year and that was the emergence of Luke Keaschall. When he was batting, or running the bases, it was suddenly must-watch TV. And in an instant, whether a fluke or simply bad Twins injury mojo, this one incentive for watching was shut down. Or, hear me out, maybe all they really need is a dome.

    Mike Soroka just got $9 million from Washington. He has 2 wins after the year 2019. $5 million gets you a ball boy and a bag of popcorn. Might as well save that money to pay for some good fan promotions because the play on the field isn't going to bring anyone to the ballpark.

    Former Twins #1 draft pick Tyler Jay has signed a Minor League deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. Brewers, Tyler Jay Agree To Minor League Deal - MLB Trade Rumors After being drafted #1 in 2015, he finally debuted in MLB last year splitting time between the NY Mets and the Brewers. Highest level with Minnesota was AA.

    I'll miss him on the broadcasts. He has always been one of my favorites. His analysis was good, but some of his stories were even better. Broadcasts need more storytelling and much less data science BS.
