St. Paul, Minn. – Travis Adams has been a starting pitcher throughout college and in the minors. However, his role has changed this year. In November, the Minnesota Twins added him to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. With a plethora of pitching talent ahead of him in Triple-A St. Paul’s starting rotation, it looked like Adams would be moving into the bullpen full-time, and that’s been the case so far in 2025. “It’s not too bad,” Adams said about coming out of the bullpen.

David Festa had an encouraging rookie season. He gave up 12 earned runs in his first two outings but settled in afterward. Festa yielded 23 earned runs in 54⅓ innings in his next 12 starts (3.15 ERA), living up to the hype as the Minnesota Twins’ No. 5 prospect last year. However, Festa started this season in Triple-A after giving up 15 runs in four spring training starts. He dominated in his first start with the St. Paul Saints but gave up ten hits and five earned runs in his second start.

Murphy’s Law is known to many as “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”It’s fair to argue that Minnesota’s season has not truly encapsulated the meaning of Murphy’s Law yet. If it had, they would have lost all nine of their games on the calendar like they lost Sunday afternoon’s game 9-7 in 10 innings.
