The Minnesota Twins were aggressive at the trade deadline. Here are grades for each trade that the club made.
A new hitter means a new batting order. Sure, the change in the lineup created by the addition of Luis Arraez is far less shocking than the changes it created for the defense. But there’s still plenty to discuss. Arraez batted cleanup last night. He’s far from the prototypical cleanup hitter, but baseball has been […]
One of the commenters on the Daulton Varsho lab asked if I would do a lab on Trevor Larnach. Usually, I don’t pay much attention to what hasn’t been done, but multiple reports have now indicated that a deal was in place to send Bryan Abreu to the Twins in exchange for Larnach. According to […]
You can't win or lose a playoff spot in August, but remaining in the hunt is vital to the Twins' postseason hopes
Bobby Witt Jr. is the best Kansas City Royals’ best player. The only problem is that he has been on the injured list for the last 11 games. But tonight, he was back in the lineup, and he immediately made his presence known. So, too, did Kyle Isbel, in his first game back since June […]
The Royals got on the board first tonight against Joe Ryan. A pair of singles followed by a sac-fly RBI by Salvador Perez got the job done.

Orioles and Blue Jays fans seemed way too happy to give their underperforming pitchers to the Twins.

Before Tuesday’s game against the Minnesota Twins, Royals manager Matt Quatraro told the gathered reporters that pitchers Stephen Kolek and Luinder Avila will both go under the knife for Tommy John surgery tomorrow. […]
The Twins are under .500, but just one game out of a playoff spot (talk about missed opportunities for the Royals if they were halfway decent!)
