RT @RhettBollinger: Anibal Sanchez struggling here in the sixth. He's allowed four runs, including a three-run homer to Elias Diaz.

Complete waste of money.
Twins don't have to pay him if he doesn't make the 40-man roster.

Moose is returning to the Royals for a bag of peanuts. 1 year, 5.5 million. $2 million in incentives. There is a second year mutual option that would give him 15 million next year. That's less then half of the qualifying offer value. Wow! Great deal for them. I thought they'd keep Hosmer and lose Moose.

Preseason lasts forever. MLB could cut the preseason games in half and there would still be too many. Getting anxious.

Buxton gets a bunt hit. Steals second on the first pitch. Scores a couple batters later. Dude is electric.

Berrios looks solid through 5 with less than 90 pitches.

Morneau is in the booth with D & B; he brought up two seperate stories with "Joe" in one half inning. Ughhh.

Good game by the Twins pitchers. Berrios goes 5, giving up just the one run in the first. Then the bullpen throws 4 clean innings only allowing 2 base runners.

If that was the real Hughes this year save your money for a long playoff run.

If you cut Hughes how does the contract's work, guaranteed money? Hughes is done, maybe functional in the bullpen.

He's fully guaranteed the rest of his contract. If he loses a leg in a car accident, he'll get every penny. Although in that scenario, insurance would cover most of it.

He's not injured and you can't just flush 26 million over the next 2 years down the toilet. So he'll be the long reliever until he gets hurt.
