Serrano is the 50th ranked international player this year. The Twins also signed #s 24, 26 & 43.

Has Joe Mauer made enough selling cars to have a shot?

LEN says that a former Twin is likely to be part of any ownership group. He floated, Mauer, Morneau and Torii Hunter as possible minority owners. Their stakes would likely be 1% to 5%. LEN says Hunter has done really well in businesses outside of baseball.

Too bad. He was the best they had at breaking down the details of the game.

You get to retire. Why shouldn't he? He's old. But yes, he is very good.

I don't see anything in Sween's Statement that says he can' t retire.

To me all he is saying is that he will miss the best color guy we've had recently.

At least we still have Glen Perkins. He's the best.

He got buy with 1.5 pitches for a long time.....so I agree (if it came to baseball only).

There are not many good ones left. Herb Carnel ( Twins ) and Bob Ucker were two of the best. And they are both gone.

Apparently the pursuit of Sasaki has cost the LAD a few players they were going to sign on the 15th:

Mike Ferrin and Jim Duquette on Sirius XM this morning, according to my sources, the Twins pried center fielder Teilon Serrano away from Los Angeles late yesterday


They lost three of those types and only signed about ten. All for some unproven guy named Roki Sasaki. And now they've signed somebody named Tanner Scott. A reliever who probably couldn't hack it as a starter. And a pitcher touring the NL West named Blake Snell. Meanwhile, the big names went elsewhere.
