[Park] At age 36, this is the first time Twins pitcher Jay Jackson has made an MLB Opening Day roster. “I’m thankful and blessed and grateful to have been able to enjoy this journey to this point, and even though it’s taken 17 [years], it’s been a wonderful 17. I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

  1. This is wonderful news , good things happen to those who stick it out and cheers to JR and good health.

  2. Very happy for him. He was a joy to watch, and was really quite stellar for us. Wishing the best for JR, Jay, and the rest of his family

  3. Layaway Jay. Took him 17 years but it’s paid off. I have a bad feeling we’ll wish we had him this year. I know there are injuries and I’m not trying to be a debbie downer but the lack of bullpen depth feels apparent when you look at what the back end of it looks like right now with Swanson and Romero out.
