And on the same day we announced our stadium will now be named Truist Park... which I believe is French for "Stupid."
We will reach out to sources more closely involved to attempt to find out if Donaldson chose the Twins just so he didn't have to play his home games at TRUIST PARK.
A few weeks ago the teams most closely linked within talks with Josh Donaldson were the Atlanta Braves, the Washington Nationals, the Minnesota Twins, and the Texas Rangers.
Since then the Nationals have exercised their Plan B options by signing Asdrubal Cabrera and Starlin Castro .
They are now linked to trade talks with Nolan Arenado and recently signed veteran third baseman, Todd Frazier, from the free-agent market.
With the Nationals currently viewing third base as a strength (without Donaldson), and the Twins coming off a record season for hitting long-balls, plus having just signed Miguel Sano to an extension, the Braves had the greatest need for the Bringer of Rain.
