Maeda Signs With DET

[Parfigliano]

2yr/24 million.  Were Twins not interested in him because that seems like easily doable numbers for TC.

[LewFordLives]

Yeah, that seems perfectly reasonable. I actually thought he would get more. Maybe the Twins are aiming higher.

[Linus]

Seems about right. Kind of surprised the Twins weren’t in for that deal. 

[lecroy24fan]

Cutting payroll causes these things.

[Mike Sixel]

I'm ok with this. They have to get a great SP....

Seems like a reasonable deal, it probably would have been fine for the Twins. I don't know that I necessarily would want 36 year old Maeda on that deal though.

The Twins are only going to acquire one starting pitcher this offseason. I think there will be better pitchers/values. We'll have to see what happens, but I'm fine with passing on Maeda right now.
