You guys came through in a major way. So many great submissions. We've grabbed a bunch of them to feature below. Let's get to it: TD Member Boom Boom: Should the Twins look to bring in a CF, or should they sta...3259Wed, 17 Dec 2014 04:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/no-juice-podcast-34-baseball39s-winter-meetings-r3258/On this week's No Juice Podcast, Dan Anderson and Parker Hageman rehash the happenings that came from Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings, including the signing of pitcher Ervin "#SmellBaseball" Santana, exploring quotes from Paul Molitor and possibly saying farewell to Chris Parmelee.

Four! When you think about that -- relative to their past tendencies and against the backdrop of an internally facilitated rebuild -- that's kind of crazy. What motivated the club to enter into leng...3256Mon, 15 Dec 2014 06:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-174-ervin-santana-r3255/Aaron and John talk about the Twins signing Ervin Santana for $55 million, picking J.R. Graham in the Rule 5 draft, revisiting the Ricky Nolasco signing, using Harry's Razors for your holiday shopping, incident-free press conferences, full rotations, dropping Chris Parmelee and Chris Colabello, si...3255Sun, 14 Dec 2014 22:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what-to-expect-from-ervin-santana-r3252/The Minnesota Twins appear to be on the verge of announcing the signing of 32-year-old Ervin Santana. Once he passes his physical, he will be a Twin for the next four years, for better or worse. If you are looking his recent track record, you may find similarities in his numbers to those of Twins'...3252Fri, 12 Dec 2014 16:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/santana-signing-signals-shifting-mindset-r3251/His signature pitch may be that nasty slider, but the Minnesota Twins have thrown us a major curveball with the signing of right-hander Ervin Santana to a four-year, $55 million contract. Beyond the addition of a quality veteran arm, the move signifies a continuing shift in organizational philosop...3251Fri, 12 Dec 2014 05:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/report-twins-and-ervin-santana-agree-to-four-year-deal-r3250/Last night reports began to be circulated that the Twins and Ervin Santana had a deal. It proved premature. However, Yahoo's Jeff Passan reported just before 1:00 central time that the Twins and Santana were finalizing a four year deal worth around $54 million with a vesting option for a fifth yea...3250Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/torii-hunter-filling-the-attitude-gap-r3231/------ On paper the Minnesota Twins' reunion with 39 year old Torii Hunter last night seems a bit puzzling. Rational thinking suggests that a team coming back from seasons of 99, 96, 96 and 92 losses, and lacking primarily in pitching and defense, would want an aging 39-year-old outfielder with di...3231Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-select-jr-graham-lose-gilmartin-r3249/The 2014 Rule 5 draft is complete. The Twins both added and lost a player in the AAA portion of the MLB draft. With the fifth pick in the Rule 5 Draft, the Twins selected RHP JR Graham from the Atlanta Braves. Several picks later, the Twins lost Sean Gilmartin when he was selected by the New York...3249Thu, 11 Dec 2014 16:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/036200-million-is-the-new-036100-million-r3245/Forbes.com reported today that Major League Baseball league-wide revenues jumped from $8 billion in 2013 to $9 billion in 2014, mostly due to the league's new national TV contracts and revenue from MLB Advanced Media, the online streaming arm of MLB. This continues a trend. A look back: In 2001,...3245Thu, 11 Dec 2014 15:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/coming-soon-twins-prospect-handbook-r3247/It amazes me how much the Twins Prospect Handbook has evolved since Seth created it in the winter of 2008. I was just a guy who saw it on SethSpeaks.net, thought it was intriguing and figured purchasing one (or three) would be a small token of my appreciation for the work Seth did. Plus, I could u...3247Thu, 11 Dec 2014 14:00:00 +0000
