    99.9% won't happen. He is a Boras client and Boras is notorious for ensuring his guys get to free agency.

    If the ball is still live, you have to score in that situation. You can feel bad for the guy and hope that he is okay, but if the ball is live and you have the chance to score, you have to. This article screams virtue signaling.

    I'm on board. Sign him to a minor league deal and see what happens.

    I'm sorry, but if you think that Maeda is just average, we're probably just not going to agree on this. The vast majority of his stats point to being an above average pitcher. Just off of ERA alone, he was 41st. That itself would suggest he's better than just average.

    This is not a good take based on actual data.

    At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself... "Do I trust Derek and Thad?" I'm behind them 100% and trust that they are making the right decisions.
  24. KL1551
    I wasn't trying to say that Maeda was better than Wheeler, obviously I would rather have Wheeler, but I think their comparison is valid. Definitely not a #5 starter like some on this forum have mentioned. Graterol could be great, but if he's strictly going to be a reliever, I would rather have Maeda.
  25. KL1551
    Here is an interesting comparison. Kenta Maeda: 31 G / 26 GS, 10-8 with 4.04 ERA, 153.2 IP, 114 Hits, 70 Runs, 3.95 FIP, 1.074 WHIP, 9.9 K/9 Zack Wheeler: 31 G / 31 GS, 11-8 with 3.96 ERA, 195.1 IP, 196 Hits, 93 Runs, 3.48 FIP, 1.259 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 Maeda, although he did not pitch as many innings, has similar comps to Zack Wheeler and even has a better WHIP and K/9. Maeda costs $3.125M a year through 2023. Zack Wheeler just signed a 5yr/$118M contract (who every Twins fan coveted in free agency). This is a great move by the Twins! Graterol COULD be elite, yes. But, there are major concerns about his ability to be a starting pitcher that gives you 180-200 IP a year. The Twins just got a solid #2-3 pitcher and are clearly saying that we are in a "Win Now" window. Let's be excited!

    I strongly disagree with this. I do not want Kyle Gibson anywhere near this rotation next year. If you want to beat the Yankees and the Astros in a playoff series, you are going to have to sign a guy like Cole and maybe even another top-end pitcher.
  27. KL1551
    They don't have to do anything with Garver for quite awhile. He's not even arbitration eligible until 2021. I love Nelson Cruz, but the fact is that he's going to be 40 next year. I think the year-to-year contracts are best with him. And they signed Kepler to a long extension last offseason.
