I did. Yes, Duran may have "lost" us 9 games but look at the underlying stats. His xERA was just slightly up from the year before and his xFIP was actually lower in 2024 in 2023, Not to mention, his hard rate percentage dropped by almost 2 points as well. We were top in the MLB for inherited runners scored in 2024 at 41%, but in 2023 we were in the bottom 7 with a 28% rate. I'm guessing this upcoming year it will be closer to league average with how the inherited runner's statistic deviates throughout the year. Looking at our bullpen, you have a bonafide top 3 and getting a realiable lefty would be huge. Take a look at other bullpens around the league and you'll that there's only a handful you would definitely take over the Twins.
