Probably gonna need at least one or two free agent starting pitchers next season, just sayin’

The more the merrier.  TB already resigned Charlie Morton, for the next 2 years.

I thought the operative words were  free agents.

No Happs or Shoemakers is a good place to begin

In between the caravan, charity auctions, and luncheons, they should find some time to take care of business.

Given our need, we are likely going to sign one 'reclamation project' ... but I really hope no more than that. And a few rookies are gonna have to step up, too. But I'm also hoping for a LEGIT starter ...

Albers not really ready for prime time

He will not be on the team next year. He will be off the roster when the season is over. My prediction. 35-36 yrs old ... it's his last hurrah ...

And lol @ Arraez on that play

Andrew Albers has been assigned to Baffin Island of the Arctic Independent League. Good luck, Andrew.

P.S....bring a coat.

He's probably thinking, 'Ahhh, home sweet home!'

[Squirrel]

I should have used a laughing emoji or /s ... because ... yeah ... I might have some hope but not that much! lol

[Squirrel]

okay ... how's this gonna go? Luke Farrell

[LVTwinsfan]

Twins already won this series, Bremer. Try to keep up

[Squirrel]

Boy ... you guys really hang on every word ... I'm usually doing other things so I miss half of the talk. Maybe that's the trick

[Squirrel]

Okay ... I will comment on this one ... heated suites? Minnesotans need heated suites this time of year? Minnesotans run around in shorts when it's 40 degrees F out, doubtful heated suites are a necessity this time of year

I’m sitting here watching the game and Bremer says “Twins trying to win a four game series against the Indians for the first time ever”. Now it’s possible he meant to say sweep instead of win, but he didn’t, so there it is

Well to be fair, you can’t really “run around” much in the suites 

[wabene]

Albers is just trying to make Ryan's start last night even more impressive.

yeah ... I heard that one earlier, at the beginning of the game, where he said 4 games in a row, a 4-game series

IN Cleveland ... he did say that ... in Cleveland ... they last swept them in a 4-game series at the Metrodome, but never in Cleveland, I think? That part I can't remember - too old, don't care
