I’m joining https://t.co/HCezwfDNai as a beat writer for the Minnesota Twins, as they expand their English section! Huge thank you to @IgnacioSerrano & @TheBeatwriter for bringing me on, and I can’t wait to get started! Looking forward to seeing Twins territory at the ballpark!

The Twins are promoting #2 prospect SS Kaelen Culpepper, as first reported by @J_D_Cameron.

The Twins have had a team wRC+ of 77 since the all-star break. They’ll hope Culpepper can provide a spark for a unit that has out-performed expectations all season.

The Twins say they’ve optioned Zebby Matthews to AAA St. Paul as the corresponding move for A.J. Minter.

Garrett Acton was also reinstated and optioned to AAA, and Cody Lawyerson was DFAd. #MNTwins

The Twins have acquired left-handed reliever A.J. Minter from the New York Mets.

Minter will help solidify a group headlined by breakout young right-handers Andrew Morris and Yoendrys Gomez. While Minter is a step in the right direction, there is more work to be done.

"I feel clear on the direction and opportunity that lies ahead of us."
