Received Junior Ortiz and Orlando Lind (minors). April 4: Traded Mike Pomeranz (minors) to the Pittsburgh Pirates.Boston tied an American League record by grounding into six DPs in the game, only escaping the twin killings in the sixth and seventh innings. The following night, still in Boston, both teams combined for an MLB-record-tying ten double plays. This was the first time in MLB history that two triple plays were recorded in a game, a feat that has not been duplicated since. In the 8th inning, with John Candelaria pitching and runners on first and second, Jody Reed hit a one-hopper at Gaetti who again started a 5-4-3 triple play. In the 4th inning, with the bases loaded and Scott Erickson pitching, former Twin Tom Brunansky hit a sharp grounder to Gary Gaetti at third base, who stepped on the bag for the force out, fired to Al Newman at second, whose relay to Kent Hrbek was in time to get Brunansky at first. The highlight of the season came on July 17, in Boston, when the Twins turned two triple plays. The highest paid Twin in 1990 was Puckett at $2,816,667 followed by Kent Hrbek at $2,100,000.The lone representative of the Twins in the All-Star Game was center fielder Kirby Puckett.January 8, 1990: Carmelo Castillo was signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Twins.December 6, 1989: Signed Kent Hrbek as a free agent.December 4, 1989: Drafted Shane Mack from the San Diego Padres in the 1989 Rule 5 draft.That prediction proved accurate the next year.
#1990 minnesota twins mini bat series
During Fan Appreciation Day on October 3, Outfielder Dan Gladden made a prediction saying that even though we finished in last place this season, we're going to improve next season and if we did, they could potentially bring another World Series championship to Minnesota. Aguilera converted from starter to closer and recorded 32 saves, while Erickson was promoted to the Twins in June from AA and went 8-4 with a 3.27 ERA. However, the season was not completely bad, as there were some bright spots that included pitchers Rick Aguilera and Scott Erickson. The 1990 Minnesota Twins, three years after their World Series title in 1987, fell to the bottom of the AL West once again.
