Good move - he's young enough to still figure this out.
But man, he has been brutal.
If he flames out, maybe the Twins can hire him as a coach to throw batting practice.
Now, Gibson time!... -

Had that very thought today - He's like AJ, waiting for a generational talent to take his place.
I hope he keeps the power up, so the Twins can get a good trade for him when the time comes. -

Thank you.
People need to realize that free agents choose teams for MANY reasons, ONE of which is money.
It's not as simple as "gee, if the Twins had offered 1.6, he would have signed here." -
