Report: Twins To Sign LHP J.A. Happ
NickPuntos562OPS replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Happ is all kinds of okay. If he's the only starting pitching addition they had better being spending big in the bullpen or lineup. -
I won't even criticize if they cut payroll, assuming they still improved the rotation. I'm afraid this FO is overly concerned with getting excess value, and that makes me nervous about how far they are willing to go not just in free agency, but in the trade market. The offseason is by no means over, but there is a very good chance that if they miss on Ryu or Bumgarner their best FA options are worse than Gibson. That puts a lot of pressure on them to make a trade that they may not be willing to make. If they leave this offseason without obtaining a pitcher on par with Odorizzi this offseason is an abject failure. The FO is relatively new, but the fanbase is restless and they will turn on the team very quickly if they are perceived as being cheap and either miss the playoffs or get swept out (again) in 2020. The FO has talked a good game, time to play one.
