REPORT: Twins and Dobnak Agree to Five-Year Deal

[Trov]

I just have to say good for him.  We can talk about the deal in terms of who wins it or not, but the fact is Randy saw a chance to make sure he was going to get paid basically just over 9 mil for 5 years but could be more.  

 

Yes, he could be giving up big money if he develops into an Ace, not that I expect that, but he knows where his home will be, he knows he will be paid, and sure he may end up leaving sever millions on the table.  

 

On the other hand, he may get injured this year and never come back to MLB form and he will still get paid.  If he did sign, then he needs to continue to pitch well, never get injured and continue to fight for money every arbitration year and may face non-tender.  He decided this move was right for him.  

 

I think it is a good move for Twins because it is very low risk overall for a potential starter for years to come.  Sure, it is unlikely that he will be a top end starter but should still help team for years to come.  Good job Randy way to secure your bag.
