Twinkie Town Talk: Red hot stove edition

In case you missed it

• We ended up with a pretty good idea of where the Twins’ farm teams will play in the near-term future.
• One of those spots just happens to have a long-term link with another one of them.
• Matt wants to torture us, and decide once-and-for-all who the worst team in franchise history was.
• The hot stove was hot, and the Twins made several moves yesterday. Also not noted on this site yet, the Twins agreed to a $2.2 million deal with Tyler Duffey

Elsewhere in Twins-land

• Trevor May is a Met now. He got two years, and around $15 million, so its easy to see why the Twins didn’t match it.
• Baseball America unveiled their top-ten Twins prospects. Its behind a paywall, but the noteworthy thing is Alex Kirilloff passing Royce Lewis for the #1 position.
• Puckett’s Pond gives us three reasons a reunion with Jake Odorizzi makes sense.
• A slight change to the Twins’ staff, J.P. Martinez, formerly the Assistant Minor League Pitching Coordinator, has been hired as the Giants’ new Assistant Pitching Coach.

Around baseball

• “Hall of Fame Baseball Person” and shitty DUI guy Tony La Russa is expected to plead guilty. He’s probably going to get a slap on the wrist, and that sucks even more.
• The Twins are missing a real opportunity by not adding Willians Astudillo to this club:

• There is going to be a documentary about C.C. Sabathia, and more specifically his run with the 2019 Yankees. He didn’t pitch in the divisional round that year, but I can already tell you I won’t like how it ends anyway.

Discussion:

Which recently non-tendered players from around the league most interest you? Who would you like to see the Twins pursue?
