He missed the entire 2017 season and the two years prior to that pitched to a 4.45 ERA in 279 innings with the Yankees. Sounds a lot like Michael Pineda, right? Fingers crossed.

Sometimes the two sides will reach an agreement before the deadline on a 2019 contract. That likely involves the Twins reaching out to the player and saying,...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7375</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Nov 2018 13:06:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>4 Creative Tweaks the Twins Can Make to Get Better</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/4-creative-tweaks-the-twins-can-make-to-get-better-r7374/</link><description>Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano are the headliners in that discussion, with good reason. Who knows what the future holds for those two. But elsewhere, I see four opportunities for the Twins to work with what they have, get a little creative, and maybe shore up some key areas of uncertainty.

The main thing that stands out as an advantage for the Twins is they seem to be better suited to take on payroll. So if the Yankees are primarily looking for financial relief, boy does that feel weird to say,...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7373</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Nov 2018 17:49:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Pros and Crons: Weighing the Merits of Minnesota's Latest Addition</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/pros-and-crons-weighing-the-merits-of-minnesota39s-latest-addition-r7372/</link><description>Cron was available on waivers after the Tampa Bay Rays surprisingly designated him for assignment last week. They were clearing room to load up their 40-man roster with younger talent, and shaving off some 2019 payroll as well. Cron is expected to earn around $5 million in arbitration next year, a...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7372</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Nov 2018 02:18:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gleeman & The Geek, Ep 400: Bullpen Buyers]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-400-bullpen-buyers-r7371/</link><description><![CDATA[http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_400_Final.mp3

Cron is arbitration-eligible and projected to receive a 2019 contract of approximately $5 million.
Cron had spent the 2...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7370</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Nov 2018 19:17:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What To Make of Addison Reed?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-to-make-of-addison-reed-r7369/</link><description>Between 2016 and 2017, no major-league pitcher made more appearances than Reed, who piled up 157 appearances for the Mets and Red Sox. The Twins signed him to a two-year, $16.75 million contract with hopes he'd become a stalwart in their bullpen.
Paul Molitor tried to use him as such, deploying t...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7369</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Nov 2018 03:37:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Rogers&#x2019; Curveball Sparks Rise to Upper-Echelon of MLB Relievers</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rogers%E2%80%99-curveball-sparks-rise-to-upper-echelon-of-mlb-relievers-r7367/</link><description>Before adding, it&#x2019;s important to examine what the organization already has.

Goldschmidt has been one of the most consistent players in the National League over the better part of the last decade. He&#x2019;s been an All-Star for six straight seasons and added three Gold Gloves and four Silver Sluggers.

That&#x2019;s both scorching and direct, exactly the kind of stuff that makes these fan forums unique. The team deserves some credit for allowing that question to come through.

Luis Arraez was among the group of players in that next tier.
Gordon was the Twins top pick in the 2014 draft out of high school in Orlando. He began h...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7362</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Nov 2018 02:02:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
