Report: Twins to Re-sign Reliever Sergio Romo

I like it. Just not as our 2nd biggest move of the off-season.

Nothing to complain about here.

I'm glad they re-signed him. Seems like he is able to get important outs, albeit he is not a 9th inning guy, more like a late 7th or early 8th inning dude.

Not that this is any better, but it's the 3rd. Odorizzi accepts QA realistically would be the #1.

Fun guy to have on the squad. Is clutch and sets a calm example.

So far this offseason has been the definition of insanity.  The Twins have just been re-signing the same people who went 3 and out (again) in the postseason and apparently are expecting different results...

They need to start making some trades

Nice move, though I would like another lefty added to the bullpen. Still a lot of work left to do, but getting Pineda and Romo back is good news to me.

I'd like to see Ryan Buchter be that signing.

Danchat beat me to it, really happy with his return and sorta felt it was a done deal all along. Slots in 6th-7th innings very well. But really need someone we can trust from the LH side in those same innings. Still like a SP conversion for the role.

Now that's creative. It's like Sergio is getting younger every year. No changes yet, except elimination of Gibson and Perez. OK.  So nothing has really changed, and definitely no additions. 

How did I get here.... same as it ever was.......

I could probably give you thousands of examples of anecdotal evidence of a team losing a game or series and then putting out the same team the next time and having different results.     Twins scored 7 runs in 3 games  in the playoffs so better get a whole different lineup because if you don't they will only score 7 runs next year?   They had bases loaded and no outs and didn't score so next year they won't get a big hit either?   The Nationals were a two out 3 run single from being eliminated in the wild card game.   If they had I am sure the fans would have said " We haven't advanced  past the first round of the playoffs in 49 years.   This team just wasn't capable of doing any better".   But because they did have that big play we know better.     Its baseball.   With the same team guys will improve or get worse.  The only guy I really wanted in free agency is Ryu.   My biggest fear, and it was a distinct possibility is that we would also lose Pineda and Odorizzi.   91 Twins didn't go  from worst to first by signing an aging pitcher coming off two mediocre years and an untested rookie at 2nd base.   They went from worst to first because those guys had a great year and everyone that played on the last place team simply played better.    I'll hang my hat on a team that won over a 100 games last year.   They might be better, they might be worse but they are unlikely to be the same.
