What is an RFA?

Whoops, I guess I was thinking with the NFL side of my brain. The R stands for Arbitration, apparently!

And remember Edwar Colina? Rangers sent him thru waivers and he cleared, just getting to rehab with them in the minor leagues. Smart pick-up grab by Texas!

[jorgenswest]

Smart pick up but it also appears the Twins were correct in assessing that he wasn’t valuable enough to keep on their 40. No one found space for him. 

I suppose they could have waited until now to pass him through but the Rangers could have played the same claim and waive game.

Although the Rangers (or any other team) would have had one less spot to protect a Rule 5 eligible minor leaguer by claiming Colina off waivers today, as today was the deadline to add minor leaguers for Rule 5 protection.

Actually on second thought, it appears the Rangers still have 3 open spots on their 40-man, so they could have claimed Colina just as easily now as they did in October, then waived him again themselves before the Rule 5 draft if they wanted to clear that spot.

Beau Burrows signs minor league pact with the Dodgers. He ain't coming back!

[Rosterman]

Willians Astudillo officially released to find work elsewhere. La Tortuga will pitch elsewhere!

[Rigby]

The Rangers picked up Colina, so it is like an unofficial trade of Colina for Cotton.

Anyone else notice how many ex-Twins are now free agents.  My current tally is 28 and I'm sure I'm missing a few.

(Barraclough, Vincent, Gibault, Farrell, Albers, Colome, Gant, Clippard, Adrianza, Rosario, Robles, Abad, D. Santana, Ramos, Gonzales, E. Santana, Suzuki, Escobar, Pineada, Simmons, Cruz, Hill, Romo, Happ, Santiago, Avila, Refsnyder, Burroughs)

Seems like more than usual.

Anyone on this list that you would be interested in the Twins reuniting with?

Adrianza would interesting as a middle infield bench guy?

[lecroy24fan]

Passan reporting the Twins are in agreement on an extension with Buxton. 

 

 

[lecroy24fan]

Deal is done! look at these details!

 

 

[lecroy24fan]

Cave outrighted to AAA.

 

Megill claimed on waivers and then non-tendered.

 

Coloumbe and Minaya non-tendered.

 

Rogers, Thielbar, and Duffey signed to one year deals.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

37 on the 40 man roster as of today

Geez. this thread is dead ?.

 

I like the part where you can almost hear St. Peter's butt clench up tight when asked about whether "rebuild was in the Twins vocabulary." Laughs don't get much more awkward than that!

 

[lecroy24fan]

SP Dylan Bundy signed.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And 105 minutes until the CBA expires.

 

Any last hour requests?

[lecroy24fan]

Coloumbe re-signed to a minor league deal and RP Jake Faria signed to a minor leaugue deal.
