And what’s with trading for Michael Fulmer? Aren’t the Twins and Tigers in the same division? I fully expect Sawyer Gipson-Long to be closing games and knocking the Twins out of contention for Detroit in 2025
Whether they are trading for a good starter with a year and a half team control, or trading away a good starter with a year and a half team control, the Twins are usually doing the smart thing either way.
I still only see one relief pitcher on the roster I’d go into Yankees Stadium in October with: Duran. However I haven’t checked the new closer’s stats in New York.
Two thoughts:
1) can’t keep going to the same location against C4
2) I wish Arraez didn’t fall behind 0-2 so much
Third bonus thought: 3) why Polanco why
He’s a good pitcher—the other team is sometimes allowed to be good (like the catch made in center an inning ago)
but I can’t get past how the Twins always seem to be facing Tigers starting pitchers who are either coming off the IL or going onto the IL …
