Matt Wallner overdid weight lifting going into 2024, lost his swing and couldn’t hit til the end of May. He learned his lessons and feels the difference this spring. #MNTwins www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

I wrote one not-devastating-to-the-#MNTwins story on Friday about Matt Canterino's comeback. www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

The way events transpired is terrible for #MNTwins fans. But Justin Ishbia choosing the #WhiteSox shouldn't be a shock. A) He owns a minority share in the club. B) He lives in Winnetka. C) If he does eventually take control and the Sox got a new stadium, franchise value skyrockets. Easy call.

The original goal was to pick a winning bidder by Opening Day, which is 33 days away. Now that Justin Ishbia has abandoned his bid to buy them to increase his stake in the #WhiteSox, the #MNTwins are hustling to regroup. "Everything is on the table." www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

As opposed to how he felt a year before, Jhoan Duran didn't like his conditioning work ahead of the 2024 season. This winter he set out to train like he did ahead of the 2023 season. Now 12 pounds lighter, Duran is throwing 99 mph early in #MNTwins camp. www.nytimes.com/athletic/613...
