Yeah, this one has a Trevor Richards vibe to it. If Nance is the type of pitcher you're looking for, just put Bowman on the 40 man roster.
-
If you look at the game logs, he tends to pitch more in the middle innings of games where Toronto's losing. He hasn't sniffed a high-leverage situation within the last 15 games or so and for the season, the high-leverage spots are a handful. If you lined up most teams in MLB, they'd prefer to have a 2025 8th round pick right now than they would Nance.

Well, I certainly don't think it will destroy the franchise. It's just that to me, Nance is a journeyman and they've been loading up on this type of pitcher since the start of spring training and to no avail. I'd rather hang onto minor league assets and see what else shakes loose between now and the trade deadline. From what I've read on Nance, he's injury prone and slots more as depth piece than a true high leverage arm...but the Twins will be using him as a high leverage arm. Always reluctant to trade for an older player, even if it's an A ball prospect going out, that is going to have to project to be more than what he's been his entire career.

That speaks to how bad the bullpen is more than it speaks to how good Nance is. Hopefully this works but it is far from a sure thing type of trade, and I'd prefer for them to keep Sprock if this is the return. But, is what it is.
-
I said it before - the Twins' biggest issue isn't payroll or cheapness - it's just making weird or questionable moves. This is one of those trades that can absolutely come back to bite you in the butt. Very low ROI with someone like Nance.

Just wait until Buck comes back! -
Shelton's been really, really good this year but the Rojas decision confuses me a little bit. Just got recalled. Let him maybe ease back into it. Go with Paredes - was his turn to pitch anyway. But, alas.
-
Welp. They won the series but they left some meat on the bone. .500 at the ASB is still possible.
-
Curious to see why Shelton went with Rojas instead of Paredes.
-
Relax, Pete.
-
Are you referring to any Peter or someone in particular...
-
That'll do it. And the slide home. Eat it, Kwan. You'll be out of the league in two years.
-
Is Kwan capable of just jogging to first base after he draws a walk? The exaggerated bat toss and lumbering choppy steps down the base line - beyond annoying.
-
That inning is Rojas in a nutshell. Dynamic stuff - when he can find the strike zone.
-
That was just as awful.
-
That was awful.
-
Come on Trev...
-
Meh. Needed a fly ball.
-
Mr. Bases Loaded!
-
Tristan Gray is a gigantic spot right here. Came through a bunch of times earlier in the season but has since cooled off.
-
Probably 2006. Nick Punto.
-
Nice job there, Roden.
-
A hit!
-
Royce! Might have saved two runs.
