Front Page: No Qualifying Offer? No Option? These 4 Players Could Interest the Twins

[Miker29]

Wonder if Falvey would take a chance with Danny Salazar?

I'd be interested in Hamels or Teheran as possible 4th starter options, or perhaps even as #5 guys if Pineda is brought back, reserving Dobnak, Smeltzer, Thorpe and Graterol as almost uncommon depth to begin the season, and #5 options early with Pineda finishing out his suspension. And having too much pitching really doesn't exist. But at some poin't, you also have to trust your youngsters and provide them opportunity.

How good is Encarnacion's 1B? If it's decent, he'd be an upgrade over Cron with the bat, and possibly at a cheaper price...

 

I hope they aim higher for pitching. I don't want them to go sign a #3/4 type. Not with this offense.

The lowest estimate I've seen for EE is over $8 million per year....which is more than Cron will likely get.
