This report is a little later than normal. I attended the 2025 Great American Think-Off in New York Mills tonight. The question debated was "Is there only one truth, or are there many truths?"  Deep stuff, but that was a lot of fun! I even included a deep question or two in the below that you can debate in the comments... or just ask questions.

Because of rain outs, there were nine games scheduled in the Twins minor leagues on Thursday. More rain caused Fort Myers to play about one inning, so those two games will results in doubleheaders later this week. For the leagues that play a first-half and a second-half, there a couple of Twins affiliates that are likely doing a little bit of scoreboard watching. Check out which affiliates are competing for a playoff spot right now.

The Red Sox have had several relief pitchers hit the Injured List (or the waiver wire) recently. Craig Breslow went to work on Wednesday night to take a flyer on 29-year-old right-hander Jorge Alcala. In exchange, he sent High-A Greenville infielder Andy Lugo to the Twins. So why would the Red Sox be interested in a reliever who, in 22 appearances in 2025 with the Minnesota Twins, is 0-2 with an 8.88 ERA and a 1.81 WHIP?

Following the Twins 6-2 win at Target Field over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night, Jorge Alcala was called into manager Rocco Baldelli's office. He was told he had been traded. He went back out to the locker room and exchanged hugs with teammates. In return the Twins will receive 21-year-old utility man Andy Lugo. In 44 games for High-A Greenville this season, he is hitting .265/.327/.430 (.758) with 11 doubles and four homers.
