A Wait Rewarded

One thing jumped out at me during press conference.  He mentioned that when talks began, he told his agent to tell the Twins that he wanted to be here.  So with that said, did we have this deal on the table for quite some time?  If we did, what was the hold up.  Also, I liked your question Jon.

Secondly, I got uncomfortable watching it when his number came up.  I got a kick out of that.

I think the hold up was the 5th year option. Believe that came later. I think I remember reading that somewhere.

The Twins had a 4 year/84 million dollar deal on the table for over a month. When news came out that Donaldson wanted 110 million the Twins thought they were out. But no one bit. Adding the 5th year option to bring the total to 100 million was what did it. 

I’m so excited for baseball! Our line up is going to crush it!

"We’ll all have to wait to see where Donaldson bats in the Twins lineup; manager Rocco Baldelli doesn’t seem to know"

If I were Baldelli, I'd be writing uniform numbers on bingo balls. He can't miss

I am 70 years old. I don't have a huge number of years to see another Twins championship. I was in the military and deployed in 87 and 91 so didn't see either of those live. This is the best team the Twins have had in a very long time. Let's do this thing Twins!

Confirms that not all players don't want to come here.  Seems different factors are important to each big free agent.  This time they worked in our favor.  More often than not, they work against us.

Did I see Montana, John?  Assume you enjoy the outdoors cause it is supposed to be special.  Enjoy!

I am gladly eating crow at the moment.

I wondered the same thing...different Podcast....different John heading to Montana...that'd be John Miller

I'll repeat (for the last time) what I have said elsewhere:

Four words:  Miguel Sano, pickin' machine!

Just chiming in to say how much I enjoyed the quality writing on this post, Mr. Bonnes!
