As originally described here, Rumor Royalty is an MLBTR series where I name the one journalist for each team who has done the most for us hot stove junkies. If the writer is up for it, I ask that person questions for publication on the site. You can see all of the entries in the series here.
Today we present the honor for the Twins to La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. You may also know him by the nickname LEN3, which I first saw on Aaron Gleeman’s site. In addition to filing stories as the Twins’ beat writer, La Velle keeps a blog for the paper. This has become an invaluable resource, especially for Johan updates. La Velle kindly answered three Twins questions for MLBTR, which will be appear over the next few days.
