    The Twins were concerned about that sixth year, and Darvish accepts $18 million for it. In 2023 that will be Mike Pelfrey money.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Don't sleep on Berrios!
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not sure what you mean by "he reacted", but the front office has been unwilling to talk to Dozier about an extension, so love it or not Dozier seems as good as gone after (or during) 2018. Good for him. I hope he goes to a winner.

    Interesting, thanks. Didn't realize that was out there. One of the weaker arguments is that since the Twins offered "a lot of money" they should be immune from criticism. Maybe if Kershaw opts out of his deal next offseason (were the Dodgers aware that opt-out was in the Kershaw contract?) so if Kershaw is on the free agent market, the Twins should offer Kershaw 5/110 and then be proud they gave it their best shot and people should accept that. No. Darvish was worth more than 5/110. He is most likely worth more than 6/126, but we'll see. Thanks again. The Twins still have a lot of questions to answer, about both the Darvish negotiation and more importantly their rotation plans for 2018-2019

    Shouldn't Cobb have been signed by now, or was that going to be a cakewalk too?
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think I saw the back half of our rotation hanging from those things
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Imagine, fans demanding accountability.

    Well, now Nick is telling us they actually gave up on Darvish several weeks ago. Which, on the timeline, would put us back to about the time of Twins Fest. And at that time, they said they hadn't even made him an offer yet. Which would then lead me to believe the front office knew they weren't making Darvish a serious offer.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Feel free to do that yourself. This matters, a lot.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    by the way, what ever happened about the Twins wanting to make Darvish their highest paid player? The front office said that at the start of the offseason.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What accounts? genuinely curious
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    you have so many good articles keeping this site going, easy to understand how you might get them confused True, we don't know the details. Maybe the Twins were warming to an opt-out but were slow to the draw. Who knows. The Twins really did hype the possibility of Darvish signing here, and it's been the topic of discussion all winter, so I don't think it's a big thing to spend 24-48 hours blowing off steam now that it's over. The Twins could still make something of this offseason. We'll see.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No, but nice try In December you wrote the Twins must get creative to lure Darvish. How so? By being open minded to an opt out provision, and even sillier, suggesting that the Twins should consider signing Chris Gimenez too. (The very things the Cubs did.) You concluded the article by projecting Darvish to sign at 5 years, 135 million. So it really stretches the imagination that Twins Daily, or you, or whoever, is "fine" with Darvish signing elsewhere for 6 years and 126 million. That's right, more years, less money. Not a peep of protest or regret from anyone in there??
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    $110 million is a lot of money! Doesn't matter the player, Kershaw, Darvish, Bryce Harper, Kyle Gibson... it's a lot of money
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Nick, your December article on Darvish was spot on. The Twins whiffed on a huge opportunity to sign him. Thoughts?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Aside from the rest of this fiasco, I do believe Berrios has the makeup of a future ace. Not to the level of the multiple-Cy Young winners like Kershaw or Scherzer, but certainly in some Cy Young conversations.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    McHugh might turn out ok, though not great, but there's no reason to offer anything of much value for McHugh after having passed on Gray and Cole, and therefore not much reason for Houston to begin a negotiation with the Twins to part with McHugh if Houston expects the Twins will offer little in return. Peacock isn't going anywhere that I can see, though I admit have no idea what Houston needs or how to evaluate that one.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I can't wait for the Twins to offer Bryce Harper a 5/110 next offseason
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I thought I would wake up to the news that the Twins signed Cobb. He's the contingency, right? Is Cobb also refusing to offer the Twins a discount? Damn him!
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes. If you have followed this story from the beginning, then you should know that those big market teams were not making serious offers. They admitted as much.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thanks. Me too*. *just trying to cycle out some cynicism
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    In hindsight now, do you think that offer would have gotten it done, with maybe a little creativity added in, such as an opt out and Cy Young Winner bonuses?
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Because assuming reports are accurate, Darvish accepted a weak offer.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That is probably true, as a matter of fact. And Bartolo Colon signed a minor league deal for 2018.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    On the other hand, Kepler is part of the chemistry of this team, and he could make a jump in how he hits lefties this year. As for Cobb, I just see him as the next best FA to Darvish. Lynn would not be a fit here except maybe a short 1-2 year deal and Arrieta is toast. Cobb is not a difference maker, no, but he would be 1 of our top 3 starters.
