1. Erm. Surprised. Liam didnt look bad at all. I genuinely expected him to be the closer

   Who the fuck is breaking camp at this point

   Banda
   Funderburk
   Rodgers
   Chafin

   All decent lefty specialists. But look at the rhh/lhh splits. Grim

   Sands
   Orze
   Topa
   Bowman…?
   Altavila…?
   Kent…?

   This is rancid. But dont worry. Half measures? Never! /s

2. I would have understood one of the lefties, but what?

3. Bonnes’ player draft already busted after just 2 days.

4. Bummer, but good luck dude. Everyone is cheering for you

5. Odd. Unless his metrics were just really far off from what they expected I don’t think the bullpen is in a spot where they can afford to be picky.

6. Sell the team

8. NOOO MY GOAT

9. He threw 40 pitches in one inning yesterday

10. This is gonna be a generationally bad bullpen lol

11. That’s disappointing. I figured he was a lock to make the team. Would have been easy to root for him given his injuries and overcoming cancer.

12. Confused by the opt out… did Liam ask to opt out? Was his opt out still valid if the Twins added him to the MLB roster? Or could he have opted out either way?

    I ask because maybe he thinks he proved enough in spring training to get more than the league minimum elsewhere?

    This is genuinely surprising

13. This team makes no sense

14. Me must have looked bad for the Twins to drop him.

15. It’s not that he was good, it’s just that the other options are so…. Meh

16. This franchise is rotten. Sell the team
