[HrbekRules]

[AlwaysinModeration]

Bring the Purple Rain!

Is it too early to call the off season a success. This is a huge upgrade.

[notoriousgod71]

Can he pitch?

 

Big time upgrade. He brings swag. Let's hope he stays healthy.

[prouster]

Woah.

Donaldson improves the team, but they badly need pitching.

[tony&rodney]

YES!

[prouster]

Rosenthal and a few others are reporting the deal is 4/92 with a fifth year team option. The max value is 5/100.

[Riverbrian]

4 years 92M. 

 

That's more than they paid Ricky Nolasco. 

[Don Walcott]

WOOOOHOOOOO!!

 

If he's playing the Braves, this is going too far.

[sweetmusicviola16]

Wow! In my opinon this is a mistake, but Wow!

The fifth year option is 1 year 8 mill?

[tony&rodney]

The Twins will be fun to watch. Every hitter in their lineup will challenge opposing hitters.

We may still want pitching but this was clearly the best option available.

Yes!

[h2oface]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!!!!

I'm not sure. Here's the tweet:

He'll be 38 years old then. That's probably not an unreasonable number.

[Mike Frasier Law]

The fifth year option is 1 year 8 mill?

I suspect it’s something like 4/86 with a $6m buyout or a $14m option. Guaranteed to get $92m

[prouster]

 

I'm not sure. Here's the tweet:

 

 

I guess $8 million makes sense in what would be his age 38 (this is correct, yes?) season.

[notoriousgod71]

Salary aside, this is easily the biggest FA signing this club has ever made. Kudos for deciding to play with the big boys, no matter how it turns out.

[KirbyDome89]

I approve

[gunnarthor]

I'm really surprised the FO got this done. I thought it was an impossibility. Great on them for getting the best position player left on the market and an obvious impact for this team as constructed.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Wooo!

[h2oface]

 

The fifth year option is 1 year 8 mill?

 

.....probably a buy out ..... so the 92 will be the guarantee with the buyout. If it goes to 5, the buyout is part of the 5th year...

[Don Walcott]

Much better terms than I expected.

[SwainZag]

Welcome Josh! Love it!

[TopGunn#22]

UNLEASH...THE BOMBA SQUAD !!!!
