Tom Glavine threw a few stinkers in 1987, but Bello has yet to have one promising start. Not that Bello is at all in that category, just saying that early bad performances do turn around.

Twins, Brad Peacock Agree To Minor League Deal
I thought the Twins were going to try and compete this year. Is that all they are going to do at the deadline? Embarrassing!

Eybersson Polanco pitching line- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K. The 18-year-old righty's ERA drops to 1.71 over 31.2 IP with 32 strikeouts to 11 walks. Polanco pitched in last week's DSL All-Star game.
They are meant to get people talking. One way to do that is to rile everyone up. Having a reasonable discussion about the differences between bWAR and fWAR would cause ratings to tank and a few drivers to fall asleep at the wheel. It's meant to be half way antagonistic. It's meant to be in jest. It's meant to get some fans worked into a lather. It's worked for their ratings because they've done quite well.
If you every listened to Mazz on the regular show vs Mazz on his solo baseball show, it was like two different guys. It is just a gimmick.
I think the determination would be to keep one of Verdugo and Duran and to deal the other. Duran can't play CF and Verdugo seems stuck in LF. They are both LHB that play LF.
Can they get more for Verdugo at the deadline? IDK.
