(Please note that the player number and team number are guesses by me after looking at arbitration-eligible players signing in the last couple of years. Mid-point is obviously just math.)

Garver was given quite the opportunity last season after Jason Castro was injured. He took full advantage as he now seems to fit into the Twins plans moving forward. He combined to hit .268/.335/.414 with 28 extra-base hits in 102 games. His game calling skills continue to improve,...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7438</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jan 2019 03:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Spending the Twins' Excess Cash</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/spending-the-twins39-excess-cash-r7439/</link><description>Payroll and spending are significant points of contention for small and mid-market clubs across Major League Baseball. Fans should always implore billionaire owners turning exorbitant profits to dole out more cash. Spending for the sake of doing so isn&#x2019;t wise but asking for more talent to be acqui...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7439</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jan 2019 02:45:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Nine Innings With Seth</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nine-innings-with-seth-r7437/</link><description>1st Inning - Miguel Sano homers

New Twins manager Rocco Baldelli is coming from the Tampa Bay organization, which used the &#x201C;opener&#x201D; strategy quite frequently last season. That being said, I think he will utilize this strategy throughout the 2019 season. Trevor May seems like...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7432</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Jan 2019 03:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Solving Stephen Gonsalves</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/solving-stephen-gonsalves-r7434/</link><description>In his final three appearances for the Twins in 2018 &#x2013; all coming in relief of an "opener" &#x2013; Gonsalves threw 12 1/3 innings, faced 50 batters, and allowed four hits.

His sources say it's a one-year deal worth slightly more than $3 million.
Here's what I wrote about Parker in the non-tender tracker we ran here at Twins Daily on Nov. 30:

No question. That drastically altered the franchise's course, and couldn't have been avoided. But more broadly, there were a lot of things to hate about that season.
