The MLB Immaculate Grid's July 23rd puzzle is out and it involves a cross between the Baltimore Orioles and the Minnesota Twins.
Today's Immaculate Grid contains the Orioles in the third column and the Twins in the first row. So fans have to guess the names of players who have played for both teams.
One of the easiest answers is Jonathan Schoop. The Curacaon baseball player started his career with the Baltimore Orioles when he was signed as an international free agent in 2008. In 2011 he featured in the MLB Futures All-Star Game alongside players like Manny Machado.
Schoop was called to the majors from Norfolk Tides in September 2013. In the years that followed the second baseman found relative success even getting selected as an All-Star in 2017. Two years later Schoop was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers.
After half a season in Milwaukee, the infielder moved to Minnesota Twins. In 2023, after three years with the Detroit Tigers, he was released.
