As always, these posts exist as an open forum. Please feel free to discuss these links, the discussion topic, or anything else vaguely baseball-related—or swap recipes. Especially recipes.

Stuff you’ve probably already seen

Stuff about the Twins, but from other places

  • Cody Christie looked into the trade tree that stemmed from sending Chuck Knoblauch to the Yankees. I’m pretty sure that trade is the last thing the Twins won against the Yankees. And yes, I am a believer in the ‘Curse of Chuck Knoblauch.’

Stuff about inferior baseball squadrons

  • Tampa owner Stu Sternberg provides us this wonderful self-own
  • Broadcaster Len Kasper is moving across Chicago, and BCB wishes him a fond farewell
  • The Miami Marlins are doing something really cool. Wait... They really are. The team has a program attempting to make all the players in their organization fluent in both English and Spanish.
  • Thom Brennaman has a new job broadcasting in Puerto Rico, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run. And so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don’t know if I’m going to be putting on this headset again. I don’t know if it’s going to be for the Reds. I don’t know if it’s going to be for my bosses at Fox.

If you could bring back one still-active former Twins player, who would it be, and why?
