Kayla Beaver is the saving grace for this team. Run-ruled at home. Let that sink in. Alabama softball is not on the level of Alabama football, but can you imagine the gridiron Tide losing in Bryant Denny Stadium 66-14?
The Twins are in agreement with right-hander Patrick Murphy on a minor league contract, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (on Twitter). Presumably, the 27-year-old will get a chance to compete for a big league job in Spring Training.
Murphy will step right into the Jays MLB bullpen. The 26-year-old made a brief major league debut last season, tossing six innings over four appearances.
