Perkins: Letting Eddie Rosario go ‘was the right move on the Twins’ part’

Eddie Rosario's hot streak qualifies as one of the most enjoyable, interesting and conflicting elements of this MLB postseason.

If you follow the Twins, it's the sort of stretch you saw countless times from Rosario from 2015-20 as he compiled a .478 slugging percentage — and an .810 OPS in his final four seasons with the Twins. And it's the type of tear he was capable of producing in the playoffs, if only the Twins could have exorcised those demons in 2017, 2019 and 2020 while Rosario was still here.

For perspective on Rosario, I turned to Glen Perkins on Thursday's Daily Delivery podcast.
