Apparently Sano has plans to train on his own in the DR over the offseason, something that apparently took the Twins by surprise.

Game 152: twins @ tigers
Sad news. Eduardo Escobar isn't leading the majors in doubles anymore.
Also, the Twins COULD still finish the season at .500. They'll have to win all eleven games, but it could happen.
They've started an opener today, Gabriel Moya, with Gonsalves coming later. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about the opener idea, but it's here, and we've been sort of "meh" at it so far.
And now Grossman scores! 1-0 Twins. Let's keep that going.
Minor Details: DSL Twins Team Leaders

Game 151 — Twins at Tigers
Twelve games left. Then we can concentrate on what promises to be some pretty cool playoff match-ups. But until that time we still have some Twins Baseball left. Twins-Tigers in the second game of their second to last season series with the Tigers as they lock up second place in the AL Central, with a magic number of 4.
Jake Odorizzi on the mound for the Twins coming off his nearly ho-hit appearance against the Yankees. Daniel Norris hurling for the Tigers, looking for his first win of the season.
Oh and Miguel Sano is back in the line-up, playing Third Base and batting 7th
Game at 6:10p, let's go Twins and get that much closer to locking second place!
