Will Chris Paddack win the No. 5 starter job for the Twins out of spring training this year? Will he even be on the roster come Opening Day?

Fresh off his first Cy Young Award, Chris Sale opened spring training with two perfect innings for the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.

The Minnesota Twins are stuck in neutral as they search for a new owner. With the leading candidate dropping out, their directionless winter continues into spring.

Sale, Reynaldo López and Spencer Schwellenbach are projected to be the top three starters in the Braves rotation to begin the regular season. Elder is expected to compete with Grant Holmes, Ian Anderson and AJ Smith-Shawver for the final two rotation spots.
