I hate it here much less than I hate it over there.
This feels like a shirt that should have never been made

The Twins are somehow the No. 2 trending topic on Bluesky? Although I bet it's behind God of War if you combine both of those
pfft, Twins have done this with their entire infield
Matt Gelb@mattgelb.bsky.social · 2d agoPhillies add Luis Arraez, Caleb Kilian and Brooks Raley to big-league roster at trade deadline. No starting pitcher, and a whole lot of questions about a roster that will see three regulars change positions midseason.
The trade deadline has passed and the Twins are done. They added relievers Jeff Hoffman, A.J. Minter and Tommy Nance, and starter Dean Kremer. www.startribune.com/minnesota-tw...
Live: Twins add reliever Jeff Hoffman from Toronto as the MLB trade deadline nears
The Twins, who already traded for A.J. Minter and Dean Kremer to bolster their pitching staff, acquired the bullpen help they desired ahead of the 5 p.m. deadline.

Honestly would be happy if Larnach stayed for the rest of the season. Can move him in the offseason.
Have the Twins EVER taken on this much salary in a trade deadline acquisition?
time to redeem yourself for Game 7 of last year's World Series, buddy
Bobby Nightengale@nightengalejr.bsky.social · 2d agoThe Twins are adding Jeff Hoffman to their bullpen in a trade with the Blue Jays, a source confirmed. Hoffman was traded in 2015 for LaTroy Hawkins and Troy Tulowitzki. Now Hawkins is his bullpen coach. www.startribune.com/minnesota-tw...
It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
"babe ruth didn't exist" has got me thinking now. was IMAX even invented by the time homer wrote the odyssey
1. Last week, we revealed that the New York Post published a fake cover story claiming "thousands" of 9/11 families were trying to ban Mamdani from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero. Instead of admitting its error, the Post quietly edited the article, adding even less credible info.
Twins could have traded for Tyler Mahle a second time after the first time worked out so well
Jon Heyman@jonheyman.bsky.social · 3d agoTyler Mahle to Braves. Anthony Molina, RHP, goes to Giants in deal
I think this is the fastest anyone has ever won my unconditional loyalty. It’s official: I would run through a brick wall for Cheryl Reeve.
I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.
Trying to think of any instances in Minnesota sports history where a team owner vetoed a trade
Bobby Nightengale@nightengalejr.bsky.social · 4d agoA source confirmed the Twins were working on a deal to send Trevor Larnach to the Astros for Brayan Abreu before Houston owner Jim Crane nixed it. Larnach: “I don’t take it personal, but there’s a lot of noise outside the field that I try to stay away from.” www.startribune.com/minnesota-tw...
Going 21-4 over any stretch is bonkers, but especially for a team that was an absolute turd before doing it
Sarah Langs@slangsonsports.bsky.social · 5d agoThe Red Sox went 21-4 in July That .840 win pct is the highest in a calendar month in franchise history, min 15 games

With Kody Clemens’ walk-off grand slam on Derek Shelton’s birthday, the Twins are the second team in MLB history with a walk-off grand slam on the manager’s birthday, joining: Jose Altuve on Dusty Baker’s 72nd birthday in 2021 (June 15) Birthdays are important @EliasSports
The Twins are the first team in MLB history to break up a no-hit bid in the seventh inning or later and end that game in a walk-off grand slam h/t @EliasSports + @JJMichalski
I was just about to publish an article titled "The Best Place for an 0-2 Slider Is Down the Middle" and then this happens. Just my luck.
MLB HR Videos@mlbhrvideo.bsky.social · 6d agoKody Clemens' walk off grand slam (19)
7.3% chance of winning, making the grand slam by Clemens a +0.927 WPA, the highest possible gain for a single pitch/swing
Sarah Langs@slangsonsports.bsky.social · 6d agoWHEEEEEEE!
