@donnelly612 I totally agree with this. But I still have a sneaking suspicion they might do it anyway.

@DanaWessel That scene always makes me cry and I can’t really explain why.

[Max Athorn @athorncm]

@galendruke Great episode. I’m 40 years old and all but four of those years have been spent in Minneapolis. Galen saying “oh, fer funny” is the first time I’ve ever heard those three words spoken in succession. (All is forgiven.)

[Max Athorn @athorncm]

@Gaardsy Yes. But more with regard to the offseason than the trade deadline. Trade prices were sky high. The only reason to be so mad about the trade deadline is that the payroll was slashed during the offseason in the first place.

[Max Athorn @athorncm]

@donnelly612 I agree, and I was starting to say this to friends yesterday. It wasn’t a deadline where the price tags seemed to match our needs very well. Some defensible answers - Flaherty, Kikuchi, Matt Moore, Tanner Scott. But I’m not sure how happy we’d be with what we’d have to give up.

@jemelehill Louder. The people in the back are old and deaf.

@dohyoungpark Including minor leagues?!?

[Max Athorn @athorncm]

This is such a good story, beautifully written. The best of what baseball writing can be. (And - here’s hoping for many many brighter days ahead for the Shomons!)

[DanHayesMLB @DanHayesMLB]

A long and trying path made Derek Shomon unsure he’d ever reach the big leagues. Shortly after the #MNTwins asst. hitting coach finally arrived, a family emergency took precedent over the biggest moment of his career.

@JaceFrederick It’s insane how terrible Twitter is, and so many (myself included) are completely dependent on it (or worse, addicted to it) that we just accept its terribleness.

Apparently I’ve been hacked. No I don’t encourage any of you to invest in NFTs. Now I’m going to change my passwords.

@DevinJonesMN Good tweet.

[Max Athorn @athorncm]

@GleemanAndGeek could you please do an emergency podcast explaining the whole Ohtani situation to me like I’m five? I just don’t totally get it. (And… let’s be real. I wanna sing along to the emergency theme.)

[Max Athorn @athorncm]

@JimPeteHoops Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
