    Phil Mackey wishes to call me and other fans morons. Fine. I just do not understand how so many media figures in this market have such contempt for their fans.

    Oh wait, what? That's Bumgarner in that photo? aw shucks who knew! i'll have to go find a different unbiased photo or something
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Wait. Did you pick Bumgarner or Ryu?

    Whoever will get me one of these trophies:

    $245,000,000.99? That is .98 cents of poor financial stewardship

    Moderator note: Some posts were hidden here this morning. When you feel it’s time to revive this thread, it will be best to stick to the topic. And the topic is the Twins’ interest in the player, and whether this player would make a good addition to the team, or not. Thanks.

    I wouldn’t bother with Cole, and 6/160 to Strasburg is a good open but lower than what the eventual number will be. If the Strasburg agent is signalling that that is competitive, I go higher. Anything longer than five or six years for this team in this market, however, does seem unrealistic. Affordable, but unrealistic. And given that the Darvish and Wheeler offers both topped out at about $100 million, what I’m seeing from my couch is that the upper limit of what Pohlad will approve for one pitcher is about $100 million. (never mind Joe). So we need to work within that $100 million ceiling and consider higher AAV and fewer years. I wonder if we’ll see another opt-out in Strasburg’s next contract. I might offer him something like 4/108 slightly front loaded with another opt-out after year two.

    If Bumgarner is as washed up as you and others are saying his is, then there’s no need to worry about any of this. He’ll be happy to accept what he’s offered.

    “With Stephen Strasburg and Gerrit Cole each on a path to land $250 million deals, the Twins were focused on the next tier that included Wheeler, Madison Bumgarner and Hyun-Jin Ryu. Wheeler will sign with the Phillies for $118 million over five years, the same time frame the Twins offered. Ryu, whom the Twins were interested in out of South Korea before he signed with the Dodgers in 2013, prefers to remain on the West Coast. Bumgarner, at one time a dominant lefthander and a World Series legend, is receiving a lot of interest after a bit of a rebound season for the Giants. “If the Twins don’t land Bumgarner, the next group includes Homer Bailey, Tanner Roark, Wade Miley, Brett Anderson........”

    Well, what are the firs​t two years of that 4 year contract worth to you? For example, I just suggested three years, seventy six mil. That bridges us to the development of the high minors guys and hypothetical Berrios extension--and gives us a postseason guy. Which we desperately needed last time.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    True. And David Wells pitched into his 40s. Those two had longer records of sustained success than Pineda. I will praise the Pineda signing once we see that it's not the last of the signings.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I would be interested to know what Bumgarner is asking, or open to, as far as contract length. I was hoping the Twins would sneak past everyone and get him on a 3/76 contract or something similar.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    and No.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No.

    Pineda is like a poor man’s Rich Hill. Effective when he is on the field, which isn’t that often. Fortunately, Pineda’s spotty schedule will suit the Twins needs of getting innings for their up and coming young starters, but unfortunately this signing does nothing for getting past the first round of the postseason. He’s 31 and out of shape, and I have a hard time believing there is any “upside” in this move. He is what he is. All of this is just my opinion, of course.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    And what if we come to find out it’s Mauer leaving all those $10,000 dollar bills in those red kettles? Then what?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Listens to AM radio, you say? I blame Mike Max.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I am frankly surprised by this.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Okay, let's move on and stay on topic, or restate arguments to comply with our posting standards
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Probably?

    Moustakas to Reds https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/reds-to-sign-mike-moustakas.html
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Here’s the thing: if Bumgarner gets less than Wheeler, then he better be signing with the Twins. And I will gladly eat Crow. Because Bumgarner at under 5/120 is a steal esp. considering the enormous need the Twins have for his services and the payroll space available.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Glad to hear this. I suggest low years, high AAV. Just do it!
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You could be right. Also the years might be off. But I will stand with that prediction (unless MadBum re-ups with Sam Fran for a slight discount)
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Bumgarner will get more than that, and I figured as much.
