[Hayes] #MNTwins also released LHP Andrew Chafin and IF Gio Urshela. Both had opt outs and were informed they wouldn’t make the team.

1. Vibes taking a huge hit today. Watching Chafin and Liam take PFPs in Fort Myers was the highlight of the trip for me.

2. Ok this makes sense. Im glad we arent carrying 4 lefties. That being said. I did like Chafin even if he is a soft tosser

   Ok lets try this again. Im making guesses on hierarchy:

   Bullpen – we have

   Taylor Rogers – Closer

   Cole Sands – RH Set Up

   Anthony Banda – LH set up

   Kody Funderburk – LHP

   Justin Topa – RHP

   Eric Orze – RHP

   Zak Kent – RHP (Probably. Is on 40 man)

   And that leaves 1 spot for Altavila or Bowman

3. The Urshela one is a little surprising – usually there are other opt-out moments in contracts for veteran players to try making the jump to another team.

   He’s going from the possibility of St. Paul and a road to a new team to “not playing baseball”.

4. at least we don’t have to do another year of that Jesus song

5. Putting the trash back into the dumpster

6. Man, if we had prime Gio that would’ve been sweet. I’m pro Gio

7. Honestly pretty bummed Chafin isn’t going to be in the organization. He’s the character I aspire to be.
