Live from Fort Myers: Trevor Larnach surprised he’s still with Twins The Twins got a double-beatdown on Tuesday, losing both games in a split-squad doubleheader.

Angels players, MLBPA β€˜took notice’ when Arte Moreno suggested fans don’t prioritize winning β€œIf you can’t have a successful operation in Los Angeles, it’s hard to see what the problem is," said MLBPA director Bruce Meyer.

Good article by @samblum3.bsky.social - Arte Moreno is giving off Donald Sterling vibes to me.

worth noting that despite Painter nearly making his MLB debut nearly four years ago, he somehow doesn't turn 23 for another two months.

Last year was definitely concerning, but there's clearly still talent here, and he definitely has age on his side -- he's nearly 2 years younger than Nolan McLean

If a team owner says they don’t have $50 million more to pay players while coughing up $75 million to break players, shouldn’t that be a tell?

How is it remotely possible to defend these people?

You'd think that if MLB owners can put aside $75 million each as a lockout war chest that teams like the Marlins and Guardians could swing payrolls of at least that much, yet they don't most years.

The Braves' roster-building approach is frustrating, the Marlins have two good pitching prospects banging down the door, and Andrew Painter is why you draft early. Those observations and more from @cptowers.bsky.social on the @rotowire.bsky.social MLB podcast today.
