Tuesday Twins: The David Murphy Era has come to an end

HEY HERE ARE SOME LINKS:

• Remember how the Twins signed veteran outfielder David Murphy to a minor league contract? Yeah, he decided he wanted out and the Twins granted him his release.

• The Twins also released bunyunesque minor league reliever Loek van Mil, who was apparently back with the organization and pitching in AAA.

• If you're still mad about the Aaron Hicks and John Ryan Murphy trade, just know that it's kinda been a bust so far for both teams.

• Seth Stohs shared his thoughts on which hitter the Twins will call up next.

• Despite not crossing paths much in their careers, Paul Molitor talked about his mutual respect for baseball lifer, Mark Prior arm destroyer, and current Nationals manager Dusty Baker.

• Old friend AJ Pierzynski needs just one hit to reach 2,000 in his career (crack your rally beers now, folks).

• The Twins are trying to get major upgrades for the facilities for the Elizabethton Twins.
