I never fully understood why the Twins didn’t try to sign Mahle off his injury season. I believe he was a free agent at that point and they probably just couldn’t meet his salary demands or they were hesitant because of him coming off the surgery. I don’t think they ever considered it. 

You could think of others in the same category

Is Buxton not available, why did Roden hit here.

[Rodney29]

They still have scar tissue from the Mahle trade with Cinncy.

Is Buxton not available, -? unless cleared  tv guys will never be honest with us about Byron

Back in the day I liked the kestrel that hung out in the outfield iron work

The larger one is the dad.

He got hit in the butt last night. IL looming.

That and the new Snickers "you remind me of my brother" ads are my favorite

[AlwaysinModeration]

Hypothetically would Hoffman be in line to work the 9th?

This one was different because they gave up two good prospects for him and got essentially nothing in return. Pretty sure he was damaged goods and Cincinnati knew it when they sent him to us.

Minter mowed his boys down!

A better matchup than Roden and he actually had better at bats last night.

[Rodney29]

AJ has been a great addition to the ‘pen.

Does it look like a diseased potato, I wonder?

both starters and doing pretty good --  Twins thought Miranda was a H.O.F. also

A trade deadline trade that worked

[Rodney29]

CJ and AJ cooking tonight 

[Church of Kreidler]

And now Culpepper is at a 6th game hitting streak! Keep 'em coming!

Probably bring in Gomez to walk the first batter.

[Church of Kreidler]

Buck for Larnach was a much better call than earlier for Roden

[mrmpls]

got r  answer-  good !!

Dimaggio fans are getting worried.

[Rodney29]

Here is your wish for Buck. Twins didn’t move CJ over to scoring position on purpose since Buxton’s RISP is gang busters. 

[HarmonK03]

So they have more faith in Roden than Larnach, then why isn't Jenkins or ERod up here.

Time for Culpepper's SB game to enter the building
