    More information about "Twins Offered McCutchen Same Money - and Mets Offered More - But He Chose to "Go Home""
    It was widely known that Andrew McCutchen was sought after as a righty bat that could play a decent corner outfield - even in his older, diminished state from earlier stardom - but after a long career that saw him play in San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee - it appears he just wanted to go home to Pittsburgh. Which makes a lot of sense given how he came up through the Pirates system and thrived there during his prime seasons, becoming one of the best players in baseball. To add a "farewell tour" vibe to the equation, Buster Olney of ESPN pointed this out earlier today: It would have been nice to see McCutchen fill a badly-needed void in the Twins roster but it's hard to argue with that reasoning.

    Perfection.

    This isn't real, locking it. The guy has 14 followers and is likely a bot.

    Brutal.

    Well said. Bauer is a notorious problem in the clubhouse and on the field. And that was before the sexual misconduct allegations. And it appears he hasn't changed even a little bit. If anything, now he's more vocal. Hard pass as hard as one can pass on something.

    I mean, this is a way to spend money. Is it a good way? No. Is it an efficient way? Definitely no. But it is a way.

    I don't think this is true at all. Based on what I've heard, I think the Twins have a 50% chance of signing Correa, it really depends whether Cohen is going to step in and just say "yes" despite him leaning toward "no" publicly. But hey, he's Steve Cohen and he's worth something like $15b. He says yes one minute, no the other, The Twins can't compete if he's in a good mood in the moment and sticks with it through the signing period.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    I think they have a legitimate shot at Correa. Whether that's a 33% chance or a 60% chance, I don't know. But with reports of the Mets being "frustrated" at the exact same moment I'm hearing positive things about the Twins' negotiations with Boras, it leads me to believe the Twins have a legit shot at getting this done.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh if they miss on Correa yet again, they'll be skewered by the fanbase and I'd argue it's very well-deserved.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Haven't heard anything in hours. This isn't surprising, as we all know Carlos Correa only signs contracts between midnight and 4am.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    If the Twins sign Correa, these are the options: They're a blind squirrel that somehow always manages to find the nut They have a very specific crystal ball that only shows them the near future of Carlos Correa (and maybe Laverne & Shirley re-runs) There is no third option.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    With Boras, who knows. He doesn't give up without squeezing every last dollar out for his client.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep, the Twins. I'm hearing somewhat vague details but my gut is saying the Twins land him. I keep hearing enough information to believe the biggest stumbling blocks have been cleared and they're down to arguing about dollars.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I think they’ve agreed on years but not dollars.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    This is probably Stu’s finest work yet. I lost it at this: I asked them to clarify, and they said ‘This is the Book of Revelations, Phil.’

    Second hand information from the other owners who are connected to the team.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I can't really say what I've been hearing but I'm personally becoming convinced this is actually going to happen.

    It's not that it's cherry-picking - hell, I don't even trust L/R splits over a full season, much less a partial - but having watched McCutchen play quite a bit last season, he had a pretty strong cooked vibe at the plate. Like I said, there's a chance he rebounds in 2023 but Milwaukee is a friendly place to hit and he didn't. I'd run with Garlick over acquiring McCutchen, though I want to see the Twins find a RHB outfielder better than both.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Nope, hard pass. I watched him for the Brewers a lot last season. There's a chance he rebounds but he was acquired to be a lefty masher - the same role the Twins need this season - and McCutchen promptly posted a .738 OPS against LHP.

    Hayes and Gleeman of The Athletic have reported the Twins are possibly in pursuit of Michael Wacha. The 31-year-old right-hander bounced back nicely with the Red Sox in 2022 with a 127 ERA+ but due to his lack of strikeout ability, his 4.14 FIP mark trailed his results by a large margin. Wacha, a long-time St Louis Cardinal, was a solid starter through 2018, after which point he began to struggle, posting three consecutive well-below-average seasons. Weirdly, not long after his ERA began to rise, he cut way down on his walk rate. His decline falls in line with a drop in his fastball velocity; at his peak, he had a 94-95mph fastball that has dropped into the 93mph range over the past several seasons. Wacha would likely be available on a one-year deal, two at most. View full rumor
