Is this conversation even relevant with the team up for sale? Maybe the new owners will be big spenders, nobody knows.

Sano was finally hitting to all fields, hitting for average and power, then James Rowson left for Miami. Sano started to try and hit 600 foot homeruns on every pitch and his career went kaput.

I read last week in a national report the tv money is only $8 million less than the previous year, yet payroll is $26 million less?

Draft everyone who's last name is Lewis except Jerry.

Most complete player I've seen since Puckett. Two fluke injuries shouldn't scare off signing him long term now. Wait and Boras knows the LA and NY teams are drooling with their checkbooks open.

We already gave up too much not to sign him. I would think four year deal that by the end of the contract would be a bargain for the Twins. Four years at 45-50M.

Agree with weitz41, gave up too much to let him walk. Sign him.

When Rowson left for Miami is when the Twins hitting started going south. Rowson had Miguel Sano making contact, hitting to the opposite field, hitting for average. Now he's out of MLB.

I think every MLB team loses someone that goes on and becomes a serviceable, good, even great player. Johan Santana comes to mind.

I have to totally disagree, Morneau is by far, the worst. Analyzes every single pitch, monotone voice, and never shuts up. As a color commentator it's his job to comment, like Bert did. I know I'm in the minority on this forum, but there have been many articles in the Strib with many commenters agreeing with me. My wife and I watch every single game and she agrees, we turn the volume way down.

peterb18, I totally agree about Morneau being named lead analyst. I really don't understand what the bosses at FSN see, or worse yet, hear in Morneau? He analyzes every single pitch, talks and talks and talks.... My wife and I seriously miss Bert in the booth with Dick, as they were the best. Bert said just enough to make it interesting, and with humor. And Dick, you're partially to blame as you continually ask Justin questions, and then he talks and talks and talks..... We too turn the volume way down so we can barely hear Morneau, as Dicks voice is more pronounced. Muting the TV and turning the radio broadcast on is our first choice, but we DVR most games so that isn't as option.

I see Gordon as trade bait. Unfortunately not much in return.

Very funny article, but you forgot Sid's Sports Show, featuring Sid...... never mind.

With James Rowson leaving for Miami last season, Sano took a giant step in the wrong direction. Improve or get traded season for him?

I agree, they paid a long shot a lot of money. Looks like it's starting to pay dividends.
