In the midst of a lost season, the Minnesota Twins hit the road for seven games in what could be the hottest week of the year.
Even with their improved play, the Twins made more news off the field as they “relieved GM Terry Ryan of his duties.”
Most of the newsprint and internet news cycle will not be about pitching matchups and batting lineups. Instead, it will be about how Minnesota did something so unTwins-like and fired a member of their front office mid-season.
The Minnesota Twins have only had three GM’s in the past 30 seasons, and Terry Ryan has served twice during that time.
