    Nick, your December article on Darvish was spot on. The Twins whiffed on a huge opportunity to sign him. Thoughts?
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I trust the consensus in this case. The broad picture being painted by my side seems accurate enough; that is, a passive offer of 5/110 or so with no frills. I admit we just don't know the specifics yet.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    bump
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Berrios and Buxton are far and away the priorities. And they will be nine figure deals.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This was that price drop. I don't know how it can be claimed otherwise.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Remember at the start of the offseason, the Twins said they were prepared to make Darvish the highest paid Twin. That would be roughly $25 mil average for the length of the contract.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Just our luck, now we've got puppy dogs hijacking threads. What is this worl---- Hey wait, bring on the puppies!
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I can't wait for the Twins to offer Bryce Harper a 5/110 next offseason
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I do think the best way to spin this is that Falvey and Levine are young, naive and still pretty inexperienced at this.
  12. 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!
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Joking aside, if the Twins offered Darvish 5/135 plus the opt out, why wouldn't Darvish take that?
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Can we pretend to know what they didn't offer?
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That makes no sense, that players only sign with the teams they were fans of as children, or something.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    or even the Twins Daily projected contract of 5/135, which still seems like a bargain to me
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Just curious, but what do you mean, you can't blame him?
  18. 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.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thanks. Me too*. *just trying to cycle out some cynicism
  20. 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?
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Is that the incentive bonus - Cy Young awards? crikey.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, right, but the Twins could have offered those same incentives and opt-out. I don't see how the Twins front office comes out of this looking like they did everything they could. Short of "Darvish never wanted to play here" in which case it calls Levine's professed relationship with Darvish into question. And the Twins could still certainly salvage their offseason.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If the market cannot support a 6/126 contract, then why were fans told this was a serious negotiation? I would genuinely like some thoughtful responses.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    who specifically would be elite but accept a one year deal
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Because assuming reports are accurate, Darvish accepted a weak offer.
