    just wanted to give a shout out to taylor for making it into the top 10 in appearances in twins history, passing none other than his own bullpen coach, latroy hawkins. feel like once you've made a top 10 list, you're something in franchise history. that said, can we please dfa this guy?

    Greg Maddux?

    not to say mlbtraderumors couldn't be wrong, but those guys are usually pretty on top of things

    he would have to forfeit his salary to become a free agent. he doesn't have enough service time to guarantee the money but has enough to become a free agent if he wants per mlbtraderumors:

    i doubt he would take his chances that he would make more as a free agent
  7. flags
    i think there is zero chance they carry three catchers. jackson can easily be dfa'd. if someone claims him, so what? if he chooses to become a free agent, he forfeits his salary because he doesn't have enough service time. dfa and stash at aaa

    the agreement was reached late last night, so the announcement should come later today or tomorrow. i know i'm just a random on the internet, but if you reach out to midco now, you'll get the same info

    for those with Midco, twins.tv will be available on the same channel tier that bally's was on last season. channel 638. however, it will be required that you also have the new-ish MidcoTV equipment

    because that was the correct baseball play to make. it wasn't over grossman's head, he should have caught the ball.

    i'd love to hear more about your apparent insight into these deals that the front office can swing to fix the pitching. as we all know, late april/early may trades are HUGE in baseball. they happen so often, i can hardly keep up with it all. please share your insights into which organization is going to trade high level, effective left handed relievers less than 20 games into the season, i'm sure all the other teams in the league would also be interested in knowing

    no team in the division lost 90 games because when 4 of the 5 teams are all on the same level of suck, they play pretty competitive baseball against each other.

    complaining about bullpen games when the team is carrying like 15 pitchers is pretty hilarious. nothing bad happened tonight. the twins lost because one of the best hitters in baseball hit a timely homerun while the bats were stymied by probably the best pitcher in baseball right now. can't win them all

    no such thing as a bad one year contract, imo

    the flaw in this argument, in my opinion, is in assuming that the hundreds of players in MLB are exactly the same and want the same things. what works for one player doesn't always work for another

    david price is the twins best chance for "impact pitching" at this point. red sox have clearly signaled they want to shed payroll so them eating some salary for prospects could work.

    https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2019-10-01/foul-balls-fans-injured-mlb-ballparks-netting according to this article hundreds of people have been injured by balls going into the stands and a 79 year old mother of three and grandmother of seven died as a result of those injuries but as others have pointed out here, the twins extending the netting is meaningless because they haven't yet signed a big free agent by december 4th

    yes, the fact that wheeler wanted to stay near new jersey and turned down more money from the white sox to do so, clearly shows that the twins didn't do enough to sign him. perhaps they should have offered $30 mil a year to try and change his mind?
  22. flags
    darren wolfson via mlbtraderumors: Meanwhile, Darren Wolfson of 1500 SKOR North in Minneapolis tweets that the Twins, too, made a five-year offer to Wheeler and that money wasn’t the ultimate factor in rejecting that bid.
  23. flags
    sorry again for not knowing to how to post tweets. from ken rosenthal: #WhiteSox’s offer to Wheeler was for MORE than the $118M he will receive from the #Phillies, sources tell The Athletic. As @MarcCarig said, Wheeler’s wife is from New Jersey, and that proximity was an important consideration in his decision.
  24. flags
    i don't know how to post tweets or i would, but marc craig at the athletic tweeted that wheeler signed with the phillies and specifically mentioned staying near new jersey where wheeler's wife is from. seems to me, that's a non-monetary consideration.

    this might be crazy, but hear me out.... maybe zack wheeler doesn't want to pitch in minnesota. maybe it doesn't matter how much money or years the twins offer. i never see it mentioned in these conversations, but the players ultimately choose where they want to go. if wheeler or yu darvish or whoever else the twins have tried and failed to sign didn't want to play in minnesota, not much the FO can do about that.
