2026 – The Minnesota Twins last won the World Series in 1991. Less than a year later, they selected left-handed pitcher Dan Serafini with the 26th overall pick in the first round of the 1992 MLB Draft. Now, Serafini is behind bars — spending the rest of his life in prison after being convicted of murder. Serafini, 51, was sentenced today in Placer Superior Court, in Roseville, California, to life without parole. Jurors convicted Serafini in July 2025 of first-degree murder in the death of his father-in-law, 70-year-old Gary Spohr. He was also found guilty of the attempted murder of his mother-in-law, 68-year-old Wendy Wood. According to the charges, Serafini shot his in-laws inside their home in Tahoe City, California. The charges allege that Serafini despised his wife’s parents, with prosecutors claiming Serafini offered $20,000 to have them killed, only to attack on his own on June 5, 2021.
