CORRECTION: Twins Have Not Signed Veteran Reliever Jesse Chavez

[Gamblerssoftball]

There's certainly no reason to be upset about this signing. He gets a lot of outs, and he doesn't throw hard enough to hurt himself. That's a positive thing! He'll fill in nicely.

This is the best signing of the offseason. The south siders are the guys going young and dumb. I’ll take Jesse and the old man savvy all day long. Our pipeline is still there and will be used plenty. We need guys like Maeda and Chavez that know how to actually get the batter out. A middle inning shut down guy that messes with the other team. Perfect signing. Whiteys will finish last in the AL central.

Whiteys???

I honestly have no idea what to make of this signing. I guess my first thought was...wtf? There had to be better options out there. 

Chavez has had 2 very good to excellent seasons in 2022-2023. One season with an ERA around 2.8 and last year around 1.5.

Now it's off? Dang, I miss him already!

These kind of mistakes happen even to good journalists. The organizations with journalistic integrity makes a correction and apologizes.

CNN has to do this at times.

You did the right thing by showing respect for journalistic integrity and owning up fast!

Almost as sad about this as the brevity that was the Bubba Thompson experience... Too quick for me.

So even I am confused.  Why did they sign him?  Oops why did they not sign him?  Is he here ir not?  Does it really matter anyway?  Not so much.  Is tge correction story a Stu Randballs deal?  If it's just an honest mistake in reporting that understandable.  Things happen.  If it's a satirical report that is not ok.  I love Twins Daily and follow it very regularly.  Keep up the good work.

[CRF]

Wait...what??? So we DIDN'T sign him? Hell...we better go out and get the guy! He sounds GREAT!

Well, that was a waste of confetti.

What was your favorite Jesse Chavez moment?

In other news, Generallissimo Francisco Franco is still dead

This is the first noticeable reporting error since I joined the community in 2012. Any other news organization would be delighted with that record.

Don’t change a thing. Me and a whole bunch of other folks on this thread have your back.

This is either the work of Randball Stu, or it is a lead in to his next great article.

Now that Jesse is gone I want him back. I miss him already.

Was kinda looking forward to seeing Jesse's girl.....oh well....

Our offseason is officially a complete failure.

Drew Pomeranz is now available for the taking. Signing him would change your thinking I suspect.

On another note, Monty is going to end up somewhere soon. For some reason I have not given up hope that he signs with us. He's the guy I've wanted from the start. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but maybe allow just a little.

[Doctor Gast]

Thank you for letting us know. NP, It's funny after being released by CWS that he'd turn down the Twins.

[Craig Arko]

I eagerly anticipate a new sequence of threads regarding players we don’t sign. This could go on for years. 😆

[Rod Carews Birthday]

At a time like this it is important to reflect.  What was your favorite moment of the Jesse Chavez era?

BRILLIANT! I'm looking forward to us "not signing" Juan Soto!

[sweetmusicviola16]

Carly Simon also sang about Jesse. These could also be the words of Falvey to Jesse as well.

Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you, no

Jesse, I won't make the wine cold for you, no

Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you

I won't put on cologne

I won't sit by the phone for you.

[big dog]

Great, now the Twins have to sign someone else named Chavez or I'm never going to get to wear my new jersey.

[gunnarthor]

Hey,  don't worry about getting the reporting wrong. It happens.

[nicksaviking]

A sincere retraction? Clearly you aren't taking journalism classes from Adam Schefter.

Not that anyone would mistake him for an actual journalist.

I could swear I saw on another  site that Twins had signed him.
