It's the Rule 5 draft today. Hopefully we pick up a Santana.

Estrellas scored four in the fifth to defeat the Toros 5-1 yesterday. Dairon Blanco and Roel Santos were each 2-for-4. Starter Aaron Leasher pitched 3.2 innings, giving up one run on four hits and three walks and striking out two. Carlos Belen got the win, retiring both men he faced, one by strikeout.
Caribes defeated Aragua, also 5-1. A three-run second was their big inning. Willians Astudillo was 2-for-5. Niuman Romero was 2-for-4 with two doubles. Balbino Fuenmayor was also 2-for-4. David Richardson started and got the win, pitching five innings and giving up one run on three hits and a walk, striking out four.
Regardless how the state flag vote goes, I do like the state seal selection.
I really hope they keep the state motto on it, 'cause it is a winner
Ok, that is good.
I only count 36 players on the 40-man roster, so there’s at least room currently to make a selection.
Twins elect not to yoink anyone in the Major League phase.
Plus no one got yoinked from them, which is nice.
Or commentary on a lack of roster depth?
Not necessarily -- you need to be sitting around for a while in the minors before you are Rule 5 eligible, so you can have a lot of depth in the minors and no one good eligible in the Rule 5 draft as long as you are keeping everyone moving up the ranks on schedule.
MiLB phase had more Twins player movement.
Twins -- LHP Rafael Marcano (PHI)
Twins -- C Rafael Escalante (PIT)
Twins -- INF Angel Del Rosario (TOR)
Twins -- RHP Sheldon Reed (CHC)

Looks solid but also made me think of the MN Lottery logo.

Looks like no Twins minor leaguer was selected.
