Jesse Orosco coming out of retirement
Derek Falvey told @stribsports.startribune.com: “We’re close to being able to add some guys that we think will fill out some experience in that group.”
Sounds like there could be another free agent addition to the bullpen beyond Rogers.

The Twins are finalizing a deal to reunite with lefty reliever Taylor Rogers, giving them a late-inning option in the bullpen. Derek Falvey said last night they were “pretty close” to signing a reliever.

Reporting along with @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social: Twins are reuniting with former All-Star closer Taylor Rogers on a one-year, $2 million contract.
Logical fit for both sides, as the 35-year-old Rogers returns home to the team that drafted him and the Twins add some much-needed bullpen help.

The “your (bar/pub/brewery/restaurant) is dead to me” comments on Facebook for places closing tomorrow all come from people who fill their diaper if they get closer to MSP than, say, Lonsdale.

who is going to enforce this?
St. Paul could more forcefully ban ICE from staging on city property:
This afternoon, the City Council is expected to introduce an ordinance that would explicitly ban federal agents enforcing immigration laws from staging on city-owned and city-controlled parks, parking lots and parking ramps.

A federal judge previously issued an injunction meant to prevent immigration agents from detaining and pepper-spraying ‘peaceful’ observers.
