    Per Ken Rosenthal on Twitter, the deal is expected to be 4 years, $110 million. Turned out to be a good gamble from Cespedes to opt out of 3 years $75 MM left on his other contract to get another year, and additional cash on top of that.

    That's an awesome gesture by your company. Kudos to them.

    I'm all for giving minor league players the raise they so richly deserve. I think that's a completely separate issue than what ABW and other prospects are going through right now on waivers. I would think the other rule I proposed where the player has to stick on the team's 40 man all off-season stops some of the rapid fire waiver claims and DFAs.
  4. Vanimal46
    Concur. Giving the prospect the choice is the best route to go. Or have some sort of rule that if you pick up a 40 man player in the off-season such as ABW, he has to remain on the 40 man throughout the off-season. It just doesn't seem to be fair that a team could pick up a player off waivers, then remove him from the 40 man less than a week later.

    As am I. There's got to be quite a few of us who used to be daily Grantland visitors and didn't follow them to The Ringer. Gave them a shot when they got started, but they don't seem to write about any subject particularly well.
  6. Vanimal46
    Deadspin and its' sister/brother sites, 538, AVClub, Stumbleupon, CNN Also miss Grantland. The Ringer is not even close to the same quality of material they had before.

    Welcome to Twins Daily! Excellent first impression.... Hope you can keep it up! You're right, I wouldn't put it past the Cardinals to make a play since the Cubs are now the team to beat in their division. Reyes would be a great get from them, and I would have zero issue including a prospect or 2 from the Twins to make it happen.

    A Very Dinger Christmas.... Can't wait to get my hands on a CD!

    Good for Eric Thames to go from a non-prospect in the MLB, to a slugger in Korea, to a $5+ million player back in the MLB.

    Why is it that the best Christmas music is from 50-60 years ago? Nobody's creative or good enough to usurp the classics from Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, and Sinatra?
  11. Vanimal46
    103 strikeouts in 381 plate appearances for Jackson.... Sounds familiar for us Twins fans. I guess I can see why both teams wanted to take this risk.

    Or she could explore one of the 35+ TV options we've discussed in the Fall TV thread!
  13. Vanimal46
    Oh man, sorry to hear that! We'll be cheering for a full recovery... You can't leave us yet!

    Who's blasting Xmas music now that Thanksgiving is behind us?

    First cold of the winter?

    Happy Tuesday? Is your wallet feeling empty this morning after Cyber Monday? Well, get over it. It's the holidays, and today is National Day of Giving! Whether you have money, time, or items to donate, do so today! Our office is having a food drive, so I brought 2 jars of creamy and 2 jars of crunchy peanut butter, a few bags of rice, and other non-perishable food items. Today is also National E-Greeting Cards Day! The first person to create an e-greeting card website was Judith Donath in 1994 called The Electronic Postcard. When did you send your first e-greeting card? Or do you prefer the old fashioned paper greeting card? Finally, on this day in 1961, Enos the Chimpanzee became the first chimp to successfully orbit the Earth! Unlike our other friend Laika, the russian dog who orbited space, the US actually had a plan to bring Enos home... http://www.whiteeagleaerospace.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Enos-MA-5-e1353946773917.jpg

    That didn't take long.

    I guess it's going to be Claeys for the foreseeable future.
  19. Vanimal46
    We got our answer this afternoon.... Claeys has the AD's "full support" and an extension should be announced soon. Ugh.

    Sad, but true. Realistically, I don't expect this program to ever get up to Ohio State, Penn State or Michigan's level of excellence... I think Iowa is a good comp for what the Gophers could do. Have a couple of down years every now and again, but once every 4-5 years, produce an excellent team (10+ wins) that contends for a Big 10 championship.

    Nice! Speaking of nostalgic video games, is anyone interested in the NES Classic Edition they just released a few weeks ago? $60 for 30 classic Nintendo games programmed into the system.

    After Seth broke down the financials, it's a no brainer for Pat to head overseas... Good luck to him. Who knows, maybe he can pull off what Eric Thames is trying to do this year.... Leave the MLB as a non-prospect, go overseas and hit 40-50 HRs a season, and come back looking to get a few million bucks.

    The first episode of the series was a complete mind bleep.... Didn't realize this was a show that reset after each episode like the Twilight Zone. That one still sticks out to me as a crazy, but completely believable concept that could happen.

    My perspective on TR's All or Nothing mentality was he wanted ALL of Mike Pelfrey's years and sold him for NOTHING.
