    I think the Giants and the Mets were concerned how the leg would hold up at the end of the deal, not as much when he's in his prime. The 6 years avoids that, and the vesting options give the team some security if his leg goes bad. If something happens, he likely won't reach the vesting options.

    I mean, come on. They couldn't even pay the dude $300M? (I was almost about to make this same post).

    The previous rumors indicated that the deal would not be contingent on a physical. But I'm with you, I'm excited now, but I won't be fully celebrating until his pen touches the paper.

    There's a guy on Reddit that is going to have to watch a few bad movies and eat some terrible stuff if this contract actually gets signed.
  5. James
    They are really prospects 1A and 1B. I don't think it matters where you put either one. So much potential for both.
  6. James
    Three new Twins and one new Saint.

    The day is still young. Maybe they're saving those players for a Lopez or Mahle trade.

    BB reference says he won't be eligible for FA until 2025. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lopezjo02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral

    Sounds like Yennier Cano is also headed to Baltimore. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/orioles-trade-jorge-lopez-twins-closer.html

    Let's hope the FO doesn't confuse round 20 with their fantasy football draft and end up drafting a kicker.

    I'm just glad that we're not going to have to wait a month to find out which picks they sign anymore.
  13. James
    Now let's see if they can sign him.

    Two rounds today, two catchers!
  15. James
    I just hope that the Twins get their guy.
  16. James
    I see I'm not the only one that noticed Zebulon Vermillion. I don't care what it costs, I hope the Twins trade for that dude just for his name.

    One can never have enough shortstops apparently.

    Lewis was a solid two-way player at Marina High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., before heading to join a Santa Barbara program that has produced first-round arms like Michael McGreevy last year and Dillon Tate in 2015, not to mention Shane Bieber in 2016. After redshirting in 2020, Lewis spent most of 2021 pitching capably as a starter before helping the Gauchos win the Big West title again as their all-conference Friday night starter. The 6-foot-5 Lewis brings a unique array of pitches to the mound, all coming from an athletic frame. While his fastball typically sits in the 90-92 mph range, topping out at 95, he uses excellent extension and high spin rates to get swings and misses on the pitch up in the zone. He throws a solid 11-to-5 downer of a curveball in the upper 70s that misses bats consistently. He’s fiddled with a work-in-progress changeup and mixes in an occasional cutter, though that might be his worst pitch. Lewis also throws a legitimate knuckleball that he would float up around 80 mph that confounded hitters and catchers alike. Though he didn’t throw it much, it’s the kind of pitch he could turn to if being a “regular” pitcher doesn’t work out. Generally a strike-thrower, Lewis got tired at the end of the season and his command suffered, but his combination of size, interesting stuff and strong analytics, not to mention the track record of his school, should have teams interested in seeing how it works at the next level.

    Twins going pitching heavy.
  20. James
    They probably have handshake deals with most of these guys. Most will probably sign, even if it is for around slot.
  21. James
    It's at least a wood bat league. So that's something.
  22. James
    Ben Ross is leading the Northwoods league in batting ave this season.
  23. James
    He's a short stop from Notre Dame Col in Ohio. That's all I got.
  24. James
    Did you just pull a Cubs on me?
  25. James
    Another college SS.
