Twins Stuff around the internet

• The Twins were granted a rare fourth option year on Lewis Thorpe, meaning he can be sent to Triple-A this season, which also means he might have a slightly longer future in the organization
• Our friends at LGT previewed the Twins, as a part of their divisional look forward.
• Single game tickets are going on sale today, at 10 am. Depending on what time you read this, it may or may not have started.
• Brandon Warne tries to make sense of the outfield situation.
• I don’t think we mentioned this yet, but the Strib did add their new Twins beat writer, as Megan Ryan moves from covering the Gophers to the Twins.

And in other baseball news:

• Lance McCullers will be staying in Houston, and much wealthier, as he signs a contract extension

• The Royals are trying to schedule “alternate site” games. Perhaps this could be on the table for other squads, and we just haven’t heard much.
• Either way, we might only be a few more weeks from Minor League games

• Yet another solid argument for the Universal DH
