Although the Los Angeles Dodgers parted with an infield prospect in Rayne Doncon as part of trading Manuel Margot to the Minnesota Twins, they acquired one in Noah Miller as well.
When the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Manuel Margot in addition to Tyler Glasnow in their offseason trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, it appeared to rule out potentially re-signing Kiké Hernández, who had interest in remaining with the team.
Defense has been a hallmark of the Twins organization throughout the franchise’s history. Twins prospect Noah Miller added to that legacy by taking home a Minor League Gold Glove on Tuesday.
The Oakland Athletics (30-76) find themselves in a challenging position, last place in the entire MLB. With a disappointing record and a lackluster performance this season, they need to put together a team for their eventual move to Las Vegas and actually compete.
Drafting and developing young shortstops can be an exercise in futility. Few can stay at the position long-term, but the Twins may be developing a future star.
