Jeremy Nygaard Twins Daily Contributor Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 According to Tim Dierkes, the Twins are close! Name unknown. Carry on with your day.
Brandon Verified Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 FYI this just posted http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/11/twins-nearing-major-free-agent-signing.html doesnt say who yet so stay tuned.
Brandon Verified Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Wow 3 posts at the same time.
S. Verified Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I'd wager its Arroyo or Salty and we're not gonna be happy about the years or dollars. I hope it's Garza and I don't really give a damn about the years or dollars (to an extent).
cmb0252 Provisional Member Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Wow 3 posts at the same time. Haha right? Hopefully a admin will merge them all. Tim said major so I'm interested who it is. I'm guessing Nolasco or Salty.
Brandon Verified Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I was about to leave work now i have to sit here and find out who it is.
gunnarthor Old-Timey Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Would Navarro be a "major" signing?
cmb0252 Provisional Member Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Darren Wolfson: Told the Twins are not close on nolasco, Arroyo, or Salty. Navarro count as "major"? Yoon?
whatever54 Provisional Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Welcome back Mr. Pelfrey! Ouch!
cmb0252 Provisional Member Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Would Navarro be a "major" signing? I have followed mlbtraderumors for a long time and Tim doesn't just use major for any signing. Has to be someone better.
cmb0252 Provisional Member Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Chris cotillo:Hearing nolasco is close with the Twins.
Brock Beauchamp Site Manager Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I hope it's not Nolasco. I'm not going to blast the front office if it is but I really wanted Garza or Jimenez... Hell, I'd prefer Yoon over Nolasco.
Halsey Hall Verified Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I'd like to see Garza, also. At least it's a start.
cmb0252 Provisional Member Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Ben Nicholson-Smith: Not Salty per industry source.
JP3700 Provisional Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I'm guessing Arroyo. 3yrs
cmb0252 Provisional Member Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Chris Cotillo: Source: Twins agree to terms with Ricky Nolasco. Welcome to MN!
Riverbrian Old-Timey Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 If it's Nolasco... I'm happy... However... Someone is going to have to keep the sharp knives and spoons away from Shane Wahl.
JP3700 Provisional Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 If it's Nolasco... I'm happy... However... Someone is going to have to keep the sharp knives and spoons away from Shane Wahl. You might not want to tell him that he also requested Eric Fryer to be his personal catcher. *ducks*
Seth Stohs Site Manager Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Nolasco's ERA the last five years: 5.06, 4.51, 4.67, 4.48, 3.70Nolasco's xFIP the last five years: 3.23, 3.37, 3.55, 4.17, 3.58
John Bonnes Site Manager Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Well, after taking a second gander at his numbers last night, I'm happy with Nolasco. Literally, the only two guys that would rank higher would have been Tanaka (maybe) and Garza. Jimenez and Santana cost the draft pick. Kazmir I'd put at about the same level but with less track record. This is a quality signing. The Twins have already exceeded my modest early expectations.
Seth Stohs Site Manager Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Mike Berardino 3 minutes ago on Twitter: Just got off the phone with Ricky Nolasco. Said "I don't know" when asked if he was signing with #mntwins. Then had to take another call.

This is a quality signing. I just took a deeper look at his stats as well. He's better than I thought, actually. Nice signing, particularly if it's only for three years.

Halsey Hall Verified Member Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Without digging into it, why did he only pitch 80 some innings last season? Injury?

Brock Beauchamp Site Manager Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Without digging into it, why did he only pitch 80 some innings last season? Injury? You're probably thinking of Josh Johnson. Nolasco pitched ~200 innings with two teams.
