MLB in Brief: John Schneider Brings in Derek Shelton | Edwin Diaz Losing Velocity

John Schneider invites Derek Shelton

He'll be helping him at the All-Star Game. They met while working for the Blue Jays.

Derek Shelton told me the request was “very impactful, knowing that Schneids had the ability to choose just one manager.”

Schneider told Shelton (who was a coach with the Blue Jays) how much he appreciated his support as a young manager in Dunedin. @Twins https://t.co/OHcXntcJd1
