I'm a huge fan of Stro and I've always wanted him on the Twins, so I had to figure a way to get him in there. If not him, then I'd love to have Lucas Giolito. I traded Jorge Polanco to the A's for Paul Blackburn, who's projected to get around $3.5M in arbitration. I'm not smart enough to know if that would include other players one way or the other, but that wouldn't have any impact on the ML roster. Because of this, I moved Eddie Julien into the starting 2B spot. I moved Louie Varland into the bullpen because of how good he looked there at the end of last season. I also moved Bailey Ober out of the rotation, but if my pie in the sky signings/trades happen, then it would be a spring training battle between him and Paddack for the 5th spot, but I give the edge to Paddack right now. If we decide to go with 2 lefty reliever instead of 3, maybe you try to convince Paddack to stay in the bullpen and Ober is the 5th starter. I signed Michael A. Taylor again. I think that's a no-brainer and I'd much rather have him than Kiermaier at this point in their careers. I also let Kyle Farmer go. As much as he was a great addition at times last year, I think he's expendable if Jose Miranda gets his head back on straight. If I sign Giolito instead of Stroman, I keep Farmer.

What personality does this team have other than "loser" lately anyway? I'd take a dominant personality on this team for once even if it does mean they're a bit of a d-bag.

Nolan Arenado is a free agent next year.
