    I was all for releasing Kepler last June. He was bad. So obviously I wouldn't be in favor of a three year extension. I hope he changes my mind this season.
  2. LewFordLives
    That was my first reaction. Also, I felt certain people in the pen were overused last year because they had two slots dedicated to guys like Sands and Winder that they refused to use in anything but mop up duty. Overall, I don't disagree with this move. It gives them options in case of injuries and under performance. After it all shakes out, they could have a really solid bullpen.
  3. LewFordLives
    Maybe, maybe not. I assumed DeSclafani was a throw in that the Twins had to accept to complete the deal. That has to be the case...right? Right?????
  4. LewFordLives
    And I completely agree with the premise of the article...... adding DeSclafani creates nothing but questions. Maybe another shoe will drop in the next couple weeks.
  5. LewFordLives
    I seriously hope the Twins front office is not planning for DeSclafani to be a key part of the rotation. They will be lucky to get 10 starts out of him.
  6. LewFordLives
    I would rather they signed Solano.

    I wonder if the Brewers view Hall as a reliever or starter. I don't understand why the Brewers are doing this. They just came off a season where they ran away with the division and are sure to be in the playoff mix again in 2024.
  8. LewFordLives
    There's a reason the M's basically paid the Twins to take him. I'm not expecting much. They still need to add another starter.
  9. LewFordLives
    I know you're joking, but if he shows up to Ft Myers and his elbow is still giving him problems, I hope they cut bait and not keep sending him out there to get shelled.
  10. LewFordLives
    As far as I'm concerned the Twins still need to add a starter. DeScalfani might be cooked. I assume the Twins had to take him to help out Seattle's payroll.
  11. LewFordLives
    This must be the big move Rocco was alluding to.
  12. LewFordLives
    I hope it works out for him, but if I were betting I think it's highly unlikely he will play in another MLB game.
  13. LewFordLives
    Twins were never going to go there. Boras works his magic again.
  14. LewFordLives
    Why? This just feels like spending money to spend money.
  15. LewFordLives
    Wish I could be there!
  16. LewFordLives
    I love it. I can't attend the meltdown, but I would seriously pay for some of those matchbooks.
  17. LewFordLives
    I suspect that's what the Marlins are thinking. He's coming off a career year, so why not sell high. The problem with that thinking is that he now only has two years of control instead of three, and new economic realities may leave teams less inclined to take him through arbitration or negotiate an extension.
  18. LewFordLives
    How did Carlton rack up -1.4 WAR? He barely pitched for the Twins.
  19. LewFordLives
    I can't believe they'd go to arbitration with Gordon over such a small amount. I gotta think they'll work something out. As far as Alcala, I don't understand why he'd agree to that. He's basically getting league minimum and giving away any leverage for next year. Wouldn't he have been better off just going to arbitration and letting the chips fall where they may?

    I always felt "Toolsy" was a term used for players who could do a lot of things just "ok", but couldn't do anything particularly well. Maybe that's how his wife understood it. Well written, as always.
  21. LewFordLives
    DeSclafani could end up being Paddack and Mahle all over again, and for $12 million, I vote "no". Maybe if Seattle sent some money back with him.
  22. LewFordLives
    Thanks for the nice summation. Just one editing nitpick.....The sentence that begins "Sonny Gray, Kenta Maeda, and Tyler Mahle's production must be made up......" Could have been shortened to.... "Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda's production must be be made up...."
  23. LewFordLives
    If I'm the Twins, I want no part of DeScalfani. It could be Mahle all over again.
  24. LewFordLives
    When healthy, DeSclafani is legit. Unfortunately, he's only pitched over 100 innings in two of the last five years.
  25. LewFordLives
    I would do Polanco for Emerson Hancock and a lotto ticket. Hancock does not replace Sonny Gray, but he's an intriguing arm who at least gives the Twins more depth. The question is would Seattle be willing to take on Polanco's salary? If Seattle is looking to trim payroll, $10 million is still $10 million, even if it's for a good player like Polanco.
