After all, Hughes is a relatively young pitcher who has potential upside and, as a fly ball pitcher, he finally gets to leave the launching pad in the Bronx (not to mention, away from the beasts of the...2202Mon, 02 Dec 2013 06:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/these-aint-your-old-twins-r2201/Answering the same question over and over again had to be growing tiresome for Twins officials.

In the last 72 hours or so, the Twins have doled out $73 million in long-term contracts, surpassing their previous off-season record by nearly $300 billion dollars (if you believe some fans).
