Mid 90's fastball, a nice slider, a change up and "extremely polished".

 

Contract is expected to compete with the Reds Rasiel Iglasis $27M for 7 deal last year.

 

I know nothing else about this guy.

 

Sign me up, sounds like a no-brainier to me!

I don't know any more about this guy than the article you referred to, but he looks pretty solid.

 

$27 million for 7 years? That's a bargain in today's MLB world.

 

For a guy who is 24 years old someone is going to try him out.

Somehow, I suspect that guy's initials are not TR.

The article said 250 scouts watched him. The odds are one was a Twin. I hope

I would be content if this was the Twins big splash into FA this offseason.  A 24 yr old that could likely contend for a late inning role next season.  I am assuming that he would be a RP'er anyway.

Zero percent chance. They don't sign Cubans.

This move makes too much sense for the Twins, which is why I would be shocked if they pull it off
