Lynn to Twins?

The Minnesota Twins have unconditionally released right-hander Anibal Sanchez after a three-week stint with the club. The move was made Sunday, clearing a space on the 40-man roster. The Twins, according to multiple reports Saturday, agreed to terms on a oneyear, $12 million contract with free agent right-hander Lance Lynn to further upgrade their rotation. The team has not confirmed the reported deal with Lynn, who went 11-8 with a 3.43 ERA in 33 starts for the St. Louis Cardinals last season. Sanchez signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Twins in attempt to revitalize his career after struggling through the last three years with the Detroit Tigers. He gave up 6 runs on 5 hits in 4 innings over two Grapefruit League exhibition game appearances for the Twins.

Astros to visit Trump Dallas Keuchel’s new suit arrived not a moment too soon. Now the ace pitcher and former Arkansas Razorback has the proper attire to wear when visiting the most famous residence in the country. Keuchel and his World Series champion Houston teammates will leave their spring training home this morning to visit the White House. Houston is taking advantage of an off-day in its Grapefruit League schedule to accept the invitation from President Donald Trump. The tentative schedule has the Astros leaving West Palm Beach early this morning, arriving at the White House around noon and returning to South Florida later this evening. “If you’re going to spend an off-day doing something, other than relaxing, I think the White House is a pretty good gig,” Keuchel said.
