The Twins are paying Bell $7M for that kind of production and he has negative trade value. Larnach is going to have very little trade value at $7-8M arbitration salary.
Even if the Twins are in the playoff hunt, they should consider trading Larnach. They need pitching a lot more than they need a left handed hitting outfielder. There are options to replace Larnach from within but nothing in the minors for pitching.
I thought the same thing about Austin Martin in the outfield and we all saw the catch he made last night.
Keaschall is still under 180 games played at 2B as a professional. He makes a great play followed by a bad one.
That probably explains why I never end up drinking at concerts or sporting events.
The Saints Thursday night $2 promo is eight ounces of Michelob Light.
I had to work a volunteer shift at a gophers game once. Our organization made about as much money per person as it cost me for parking and a babysitter for my kids. We opted to just pay $100 per participant the next year to get our Saturdays back.
I hope the Target Field charities are actually real. San Diego had a minor scandal with fake charities running concessions.
It's not going to work out often, but when it does you can acquire a competent reliever for absolutely nothing. Since the worst reliever on the roster has been pretty bad for the last 150 games, he has nothing to lose by trying.
Relievers are used for particular matchups. Most batters are right handed. It's hard to find enough left-on-left matchups to use four lefthanded relievers.
What reliever on the waiver wire do you wish Zoll had picked up instead of the guys he picked up? He's sorting through the discards. There is a reason other teams didn't want them.
The only real whiff I see is cutting Woods Richardson before they ever gave him a real chance in the bullpen.
