    IIRC they offered him a contract last year too. Maybe this year there's mutual interest to join a team on the up and up.

    I think for mid-level revenue teams you gotta take your chance when you can. 2019 IMO would have been a good season to bite the bullet and take that chance. The core is young and cheap, almost everyone was healthy and producing beyond their typical norm. I think it's really difficult, maybe even impossible now, for a team like the Twins to sustain 7-8 years of competitive play. That's why I prefer going for it when there's a window open and stars are aligned like it was in 2019. I hope 2020 brings the same feelings... But you know that health and production are far from givens in baseball.

    I'm intrigued what that would look like... Can't imagine anyone taking on Lester, Heyward, or Kimbrel's contract without eating a good chunk of change. Bryant and Rizzo have awesome trade value but who has the farm system to trade for them?

    The Mets hire Carlos Beltran to be their manager.

    There's one clear ace, one that's "available" but not really available, one that could bounce back to be an ace again, and one where you have to squint and hope he could be an ace... Yeah, not a lot to work with.

    If that's the price to pay to get a WS title I do that 10 times out of 10.

    That would be a terrible example because Washington spent $77.8 million on their top 3 pitchers in 2019.
  9. Vanimal46
    Maybe. Since he's a Boras client I'm sure he will sit on his epic season results until the demands are met.

    Cole is going to get 7, maybe 8 years. The Twins will never offer that many years for a pitcher. Strasburg may "opt-out", but I feel pretty confident he is remaining with Washington. Bumgarner and Wheeler are my top priorities. Get one of them at least, re-sign Odorizzi and Pineda. Find a project or 2, and they should be okay for the rotation.
  11. Vanimal46
    I didn't know Rendon was a pitcher!
  12. Vanimal46
    Kenley Jansen is not opting out of the 2/$38 million left on his contract. No surprise there.

    Royals will be hiring Mike Matheny to be their next manager.

    https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2019/10/30/ex-texas-rangers-outfielder-josh-hamilton-charged-with-injury-to-a-child/ Yikes. Hope he gets the help he clearly needs.

    Scherzer gets his ring and his first ballot ticket to Cooperstown whenever he calls it a career! Congrats to Ex-Twins Brian Dozier, Kurt Suzuki, and FRE!
  18. Vanimal46
    If he gave the same look Gary Busey did in Rookie of the Year, I would roll the dice!
  19. Vanimal46
    Game 7! Could you imagine that roller coaster finish? 1/3rd of MLB fan bases would unite knowing what that feels like!
  20. Vanimal46
    FRE in the 9th??
  21. Vanimal46
    I'm smiling just a wee bit wider watching Osuna give up the insurance run...
  22. Vanimal46
    Dang!!! We gotta game now.
  23. Vanimal46
    For this question, I don't see how the return could help the Twins in 2020 more than Rosario can. MLB player for MLB player trades are rare, and my assumption is whatever pitcher the Twins receive back in a hypothetical trade will also have warts to fix. I'm not the biggest Rosario fan out there, but they need to think what's going to help win the most games in 2020. Rosario will still provide more positive value than someone like Larnach or Kirilloff learning on the job... At least from late March until June. After that, reconvene and see what you got.

    Weird quirk about this series that I just realized... Neither team has won a home game so far!
  25. Vanimal46
    over/under 3 weeks before he's back on the DFA waiver train?
