Out of all the teams that Marlins fans would consider rooting for during this MLB postseason, the Twins ought to be a popular choice. There’s nothing in their head-to-head history that would elicit any hard feelings should they advance deep into October. Plus, they have Sergio Romo.

But that brief period left a great impression on Romo, as told to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required).
