    imho if you up the 6 year offer by about 20mil total you'd have his attention. 6/115 I know that sounds a lot, and he's going to earn significant amount more in these next 3 years than the arb route. But you're buying out 3 years of his FA. Then you just have to look at what Wheeler just got.... His 3 arb years he's looking at around 32mil I would suspect. 3 years of Wheeler's type of deal is around 71mil. That puts us at 103 mil. I would have no issue of paying him an extra 12 mil for the security of having him for 6 years.

    And they shouldn't have went 5. How much extra is madbum making by playing in AZ compared to if he had signed here for the same money? Just wondering how much of an impediment our high state taxes are.
  3. sweetmusicviola16
    Unless the Tribe is blew away by an offer for Lindor he's staying. Kluber was their salary dump. They don't need to shed more payroll so I'd suspect that Lindor stays in Cleveland.
  4. sweetmusicviola16
    at least he doesn't wing the ball at 231 mph....
  5. sweetmusicviola16
    Besides Ryu I would like to see us sign up Taijuan Walker sooner rather than later. He's I think the perfect bounce back guy to fill in the back of our rotation.
  6. sweetmusicviola16
    I am actually more optimistic mike than I have been all off season that we get Ryu. As I mentioned many teams have shot big loads. Even the other teams that have the biggest needs, LAA and CWS. The Twins haven't made a big expenditure yet other than Odo. I think we have the advantages at this point. The exception would be if LAD really wants him back. But they lost out on Cole and Stras and imo they are gearing up for a run at Mookie Betts next season. Ryu still won't come cheap but I feel we might get him. 3/60
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    5/85 for madbum, 17mil AAV on a longer deal. A lot of teams have dumped their loads. So for Ryu I'm guessing at this point 3/54 for an 18mil AAV to one of the LA teams. I'd guess the Twins would have to pay a premium to lure him away from Cali, so maybe 3/60-62 might get him if he's interested in us at all. I still would not go over 3 years for Ryu with his mileage. I believe that Donaldson goes to Washington. They lost Rendon after having lost Harper last season. So they would be most desperate for JD. The Twins, LAA and CWS would be the most needy of Ryu, though Toronto sounds like a potential suitor as well.
  8. sweetmusicviola16
    Just your normal Twins off season activity. With a madbum signing I would doubt thar the D'Backs would be trading Ray either.
  9. sweetmusicviola16
    It's still 40 games that we have lost our right now #3 SP. 40 games with presently 2 ML seasoned starters. imo it's not the way a WS contender would want to be set up.
  10. sweetmusicviola16
    Texas see's an oppurtunity and pounces on it. Its 17.5mil. Very low risk but a high upside. A guy that's won 2 Cy Youngs, a handful of bad starts and a fluke injury from being him. This is far better then signing madbum or Ryu, way more risk for those two. The guys they gave up? DeShields is nothing. The RP looks decent but any RP can go up and down by year. I'm surprised Falvey wouldn't take advantage. Pretty much all of their moves have been low risk, not a criticisim but a surprise.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    The Twins through the end of May is 1.Berrios 2. Odorizzi 3. Internal 4. Internal 5. Internal The leading internals have a combined 87 ML IP.
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    and a great move by Texas. Low risk. You would have thought that Falvey would be in on a low risk move?
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    And this team has the **** resources to have acquired Kluber and failed to do so. I know the off season isn't over, but from the mid season trade deadline to December 15, I give them an F. This is on them, they are the ones that said when the window is open that they would strike. They have failed. Don't say it if you don't have the balls to follow through.
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    The Minnesota Twins have shown no ability to acquire an Ace, which is still Kluber. Who knows where Bumgarner or Ryu will end up but neither is an Ace. The window is already closing. Yeah we''ll likely win the AL Central, but many other AL teams have gotten better while we stand pat
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    I second your zero chance. I haven't read yet the entire article linked here. But I have to wonder why Atlanta would want to once again secure his services for another 3 years or more if he was a clubhouse problem considering just how young their team is. Makes no sense.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    In the case of Donaldson I have no issues with his personality. He wants to win. I see nothing wrong with that.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    Slim and none and none just walked out the door? I just don't see Donaldson happening. Its not just the money, however big that factor is, it also means Sano at 1B. Do we really want that in a season where the division and the WS is our intended goal? I certainly believe he can work his way into a capable 1B but it's going to take time. Possibly longer than 2020.
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    3 years of Donaldson? 70-80 mil is my bet tbh.
  19. sweetmusicviola16
    Both of these guys will cost between 45-50 mil if not considerably more. We presently sit around 95mil factoring in arbs. Besides an SP or two we need a 1B and a pen guy or two. Lets say we spend another 20 mil for a #5 SP the 1B and pen guys. We're at 115mil. Both Donaldson and Ryu would put us at 165mil then before any extensions. Both is not happening. I doubt we get either one. Madbum LAD. Ryu LAA. Donaldson Was/Atl. Keuchel CWS Twins, Tehran or Miley and Wood or a fallback trade for Ray or Boyd.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    I'd prefer Mitch Moreland as a 1B sign. Bird on an milb? Sure. Then wait for whoever is ready among Raley, Rooker, Larnach, Kirriloff.
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    The price on Darvish is higher now than it was 3-4 weeks ago. The Cole, Stras, Wheeler deals made him worth more. 4/81 for someone who has front end potential is cheap right now. So my answer would be no, Gordon would not get it done. Add Balazovic and you might keep Theo on the phone. If our FO wanted a deal they should have made it happen a month ago. Once Gibson, Wheeler, etc signed it was obvious that the oppurtunity for a special or a sale was gone.
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    I'm with you, I'd go as high as 3/70, I've been saying 3/66 but I'll up it slightly. No more years for me. With his injury history no way over 3.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    As for the Angels and what they will do after the Rendon signing, I would bet that they are even more likely to sign another SP. I would suspect that it is Ryu if the LAD are indeed going after madbum. Both of these teams have a lot of money they want to spend.If that happens that leaves Keuchel to be battled for by 7-8 teams besides the Twins. Might be time to buy early on our Wade Miley or Julio Tehran jerseys. Donaldson will be fought for by Was, Atl and Tex. Falvine has looked into him and by now turned the other way.
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    Falvine said yesterday that they are still pursuing the FA route first. As long as Bumgarner, Ryu and Keuchel are still out there that is where they should be concentrating. If someone beats them to Price, then oh well. I suspect present internal options will be relied upon quite heavily this season. The FA SP's are dropping like flies, Porcello is now a Met.
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    Nick, can you dig any deeper to find bad? Travis Wood would be my choice. Rendon is now off of our wish list
