    We are getting close to the two week mark with no further allegations. Not to say someone may be remaining quiet or that the investigation has not found others with complaints, that are not public - but I felt the biggest negative factor for Sano for extremely severe punishment and for the Twins best option to just get rid of him for pennies on the dollar is if a pattern emerges of similar behavior. So far crickets.

    I think the twins best offer will be 5 years 145-150. In my projections for the year I said I didn't think the twins would make a big signing, but the longer this plays out, in my mind the higher percentage that the Twins may be able to pull it off. The twins have made it very clear they don't want to go to 6 years, so we are left with a 5 year offer, I just don't see any of the other teams willing to really spend this year, seem to be saving their money for next years FA class. The Yankees if they become interested would be the only possibility that could try overpay to get him, but I think Cashman will be very selective in who he is willing to spend big money on. That leaves the Twins, hoping they can pull off a reasonable deal to get a middle to low end #1 starter. This is one of the few years in the last 5 or so that I think the rates will be much more reasonable and give more middle market teams a chance to make a big move, that won't completely hamper future moves. My questions are I think he will have the stuff that can last into later years, but can he go back to a normal windup and also the stretch, rather than his current set up which is a blend of the two, and also make sure he is not tipping pitches. In the WS it was obvious he didn't have his best stuff, but when hitters know what it coming they are more likely to knock him around.

    I actually think Dozier could age very well. I could argue he has gotten better defensively and offensively every year. I also think he works very hard at his craft, takes good care of his body which would allow him to age well. I also think we could get him back for a reasonable contract. I think he likes playing for the twins may give a home town discount at the end of the day even if he suggests otherwise. I also think with a Franchise tag, and all the other players coming out, his market may actually be a little depressed especially with his age.

    I don't know Nicks status within TwinsDaily. I have attached an article. I understand this occurred while she was not technically doing work for TwinsDaily. For corporate law any allegation is required to be investigated at minimum at the corporate level if management becomes aware whether or not the individual affected cooperated. I also don't know his status if he is a mandatory reporter. Now I agree there is some grey area here and this likely could be classified as friendly conversation outside of work, just be aware a company can still be liable if they knew or should have known and did not do a proper investigation to ensure this sexual harassment does not occur again. I can find more caselaw if needed, this looked pretty clear cut though, even though this is looking at employee on employee harassment. https://www.ohiobar.org/ForPublic/Resources/LawYouCanUse/Pages/LawYouCanUse-378.aspx

    Hypothetically lets say something did happen we take her at her word, however the investigation cannot validate her claims or it didn't rise to the level of harm for any discipline through MLB or criminally. Does Sano still deserve to have his name smeared? Is that just the risk of being an athlete. Now I have read the above posts, so there may be some more smoke regarding a pattern of behavior.

    Even a year later though, as a part of Twinsdaily, I don't know if you have a corporate governance or handbook but it may be that any allegations reported need to be filed with the local police, or at the very least notify the Twins. If he is the monster many want to claim he is, then Nick possibly enabled him to do this to other women for another year. And if he is the monster there will be other women. These predators cannot control their impulses.
