Twins deal Griffin Jax to Rays; Ty France, Louis Varland to Jays
(Photo credit: Bruce Kluckhohn-Imagn Images) The Minnesota Twins, who sit in fourth place in the American League Central, finished off their liquidation sale by making deals with a pair of AL East teams ahead of Thursday's deadline. The Twins dealt right-handed reliever Griffin Jax to the Tampa Bay Rays, landing right-handed starter Taj Bradley in return. And Minnesota shipped infielder Ty France and right-hander Louis Varland to the Toronto Blue Jays for rookie outfielder Alan Roden and left-handed prospect Kendry Rojas. Jax, 30, has spent his entire five-year major league career with Minnesota and is 1-5 with a 4.50 ERA in 50 relief appearances this season. He had a heated face-to-face with Twins manager Rocco Baldelli on Wednesday after being inserted into a blowout loss to the Boston Red Sox in the ninth inning. He gave up three singles on 12 pitches before Baldelli pulled him for position player Kody Clemens. Jax was angry with the odd decisions but later said he apologized to Baldelli. While Jax gets a change of scenery in Tampa Bay, the Twins acquired a young arm in Bradley, 24, who is 6-6 this season with a 4.61 ERA in 21 starts. Across three years with the Rays, Bradley has gone 19-25 with a 4.70 ERA and thrown 378 strikeouts in 354 innings. France, 31, played 101 games in his first season with Minnesota after previous stops with San Diego, Seattle and Cincinnati. France is batting .251 this season with six homers and 44 RBIs. A 2022 All-Star selection, France is a career .262 hitter with 80 homers, 356 RBIs and a .736 OPS. Varland, 27, is a St. Paul native and went to college in the Twin Cities before being drafted by Minnesota in 2019. He has made 51 appearances out of the bullpen this season, pitching to a career-best 2.02 ERA while amassing a 3-3 record. He's 8-14 with a 4.62 ERA in 89 career games (22 starts) for the Twins. Roden, 25, has batted .204 with one home run and eight RBIs in 43 appearances as a rookie. Rojas, 22, has gone 1-3 with a 3.46 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) this season across four minor league levels.

Fernie residents push back on proposed fire hall that would tear down ballpark
In Fernie, B.C., Servello Field at Prentice Park hosts organized and recreational baseball several nights a week. It's also being eyed as the spot for Fernie's new $16-million fire hall. In Fernie, B.C., Servello Field at Prentice Park hosts organized and recreational baseball several nights a week. It's also being eyed as the spot for Fernie's new $16-million fire hall. The plan has many residents up in arms. 'We really want the city to reconsider where they're putting it,' said Alleine Anselmo. 'There's a perfectly good space up on Second Avenue that was actually bought in consideration to build the fire hall. And it's just important to myself and all the residents that you see here today that we save the last of the greenspace that we have in Fernie.'

In Fernie, B.C., Servello Field at Prentice Park hosts organized and recreational baseball several nights a week. It's also being eyed as the spot for Fernie's new $16-million fire hall. A petition to save the park has been signed by more than 1,200 people in a city of about 6,500. Residents say the park is used frequently throughout the summer. 'The only one that wants to see a fire hall here on (this part of this property) is the firemen,' said Perry Servello, nephew of Joe Servello, who the field is named after.

The land was donated by Shell in 1972 to be used for recreational purposes. Some feel the city hasn't been transparent in its approach to the new fire hall. 'The city hasn't been very transparent. And a lot of backdoor stuff and meetings have been going on,' said Chris Inglis. In Fernie, B.C., Servello Field at Prentice Park hosts organized and recreational baseball several nights a week.

It's also being eyed as the spot for Fernie's new $16-million fire hall. The Fernie Fire Department has been set up at a temporary location since 2022. They split the space with public works. It's not properly set up for a fire department and is slowing down response times by several minutes. It also sits right next to train tracks, which can slow response times even further. 'Our biggest concern is the safety of the firefighters and the safety of the community,' said fire chief Brendan Morgan. 'We need the response time. And that is a perfect location for response time to the whole community.' The city understands the frustration of residents but says it needs a new fire hall. Fernie has been without a purpose-built fire hall since 1979. 'I understand the frustration; I understand the change. But council is not deaf to your concerns, and we are already looking at other alternatives for a larger greenspace and opportunity to develop,' said Mayor Nic Milligan. The city is looking at reclaiming a former landfill site and turning it into a recreation facility to replace the lost ballfield. Groundbreaking on the fire hall could be as early as next year. It could be open by the end of 2027.
