    It's totally fair to be bummed (heck even mild depression would not be considered amiss), but this isn't and shouldn't be considered a horrible thing. Yes, I AM bummed Luis is going to the Fish, but Lopez is considered a good pitcher and the two additional players in the deal really bring added value. At the end of the day, both teams walk away helping themselves get better and that is good for baseball as whole.

    They'll be fine.

    Per MLBTR... @2:09pm: Outfielder Byron Chourio is the third player headed to Minnesota, tweets Mish.

    He could be back and throwing (at least in pens) around the All-Star Break,, although a lot will be dictated by how his rebab is going and barring and setbacks. So while there is a good chance he will miss out on game action for the whole year, we may see him back in the second half sometime. Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for good health .

    That could be a pretty intriguing level of talent there
  10. MN_ExPat
    I believe that it does still count towards Tax threshold.

    That's a fair assessment. While other players have done the same type of things, or possibly worse, few have been as polarizing personality wise as Bauer (or in other words he seems to have an almost pathological need to be a waste orifice). While I do believe players and people deserve a second chance usually (it's sad to see a player possibly just throw away all that talent because he's stupid), it's hard make a case for someone who just keeps getting in their own way. Note: A few folks may have seen my blog entry on the same thing, again... I'm not condoning or campaigning to pick him up, and I'm pretty sure the FO won't even consider it beyond the most ephemeral of fleeting thoughts.

    In my defense... no one down here refers to it as Georgia. It's south Georgia or Coastal Georgia... unless you're talking to a Yankee, then we just tell them to stay in Atlanta .

    I concur. We (at least I) really appreciate you and all the other TD writers for you passion and enthusiasm for all things Twins. While being stuck in South Georgia makes it a wee bit difficult to attend games at the Target, I do subscribe to MLB.com and wind up watching almost every single game during the course of the season. Although that it is not nearly as cool as actually attending 57 games (so jealous, you suck ).

    Thanks Ash, appreciate it... that link makes it all make a heck of a lot more sense now.

    Not saying that I don't believe you, but just a little confused by this one ?. Perhaps baseball is run differently... but I and many of my cohorts have to travel nationwide for work (sometimes for extended periods of time). We don't pay local taxes for the areas that we deploy to, those come out of our place of residence/home office. Just doesn't make much sense that a person has to pay taxes in areas that they are required to travel to due to work and are only in for a limited period of time. Can you further elaborate? Edit: Disregard chpettit, just found the follow on messages.

    It came up "well short" because the G-Men made an insane (and yes I realize that has been the status quo so far the off-season) offer.
  19. MN_ExPat
    I'd say the Donaldson trade evened that out some ?‍♂️.
  20. MN_ExPat
    Ja... makes much more sense now
  21. MN_ExPat
    He was traded mid season and was thus ineligible for the QO tag.
  22. MN_ExPat
    Yes Sir. So here’s hoping a team is looking for a “crafty” righty when he’s done with college ??.
  23. MN_ExPat
    Also, keep an eye out for this young man 4 years from now. Fast riser with HUGE potential (filthy slider and plus sinker ?)
  24. MN_ExPat
    Thanks Matt, great write up. Like you said… it (the 5th overall pick) may not actually mean anything significant but it’s a pretty cool look back. I for one appreciate the time and effort that went into it. Whomever the young man that is picked to be added to the Twins family I say “SKOL!” And May God be with him and his family on a very exciting next step in his journey!
