\n\tSources close to your dad have confirmed that the lifelong Minnesota Twins fan and current season ticket holder will spend most of the upcoming season calling free agent signing Orlando Arcia<\/a> \u201cOswaldo.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOswaldo Arcia<\/a>, Orlando\u2019s brother, played for the Twins from 2013-16. Even though your dad probably knows this, \u201cthe snowball is already rolling downhill,\u201d per your mom.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYour father was skimming that (local chicken fried rice expert\/journalist Aaron) Gleeman fellow\u2019s Athletic column<\/a> on his iPad and said, \u2018Hey looks like we got Oswaldo back,\u2019 or something to that effect. Your brother tried to correct him, but he already took his readers off to go see if the recycling truck had been here.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe younger Arcia, who was an All-Star in 2023 but has slumped mightily since, signed a minor-league deal and is in the mix for a team that is in desperate need of depth at shortstop. Oswaldo last played major league baseball in 2016.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI always liked Oswaldo,\u201d your dad is reported to have said. \u201cWasn\u2019t he one of The Piranhas? God those guys hustled.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSources say that even when he finds out he\u2019s mistaken, he\u2019ll likely still use the incorrect brother\u2019s name 75-80% of the time.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRemember when Teddy Bridgewater was the Vikings quarterback, and dad kept calling him Timmy,\u201d your brother said. \u201cWe tried so hard to correct him, but then he\u2019d just say \u2018Sounds like Timmy\u2019s having a great offseason\u2019 before looking out the window to see if that car was still parked across the street.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOrlando played for both Atlanta and Colorado in 2024. After the Braves released him in June, the Rockies signed him and used him at multiple infield positions.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWonder if ol\u2019 Oswaldo has anything left in the tank,\u201d speculated your dad, before pulling up another YouTube video about the interstate highway system.\n<\/p>\n
