Photo by David Durochik/Diamond Images via The veteran reliever makes his way to the Twins Cities. The Twins reportedly reached an agreement with veteran reliever Jesse Chavez early this morning.

NYY @ ATL: Nestor Cortes vs. Charlie Morton

Photo by New York Yankees/ The Yankees’ Opening Day starter faces one of the most formidable lineups in the game.

Orion Kerkering is still working his way back from the flu, their stud first baseman has a stiff back, but that’s about it. Time to cross fingers, toes, whatever else you can to make sure there is a healthy lineup against the Braves. On to the links. Phillies news: Bryce Harper hasn’t been in the lineup lately with what the team is calling a...
