Bumgarner in play?

Post by Ask Not »

He's in the last year of his deal at only $12M.
The affordable price raises the cost. Being injured the last couple of years should lower it.

I'd take him on a one year deal even if I have to give up a couple strong prospects.
Bum
Berrios
Gibson
Odorizzi
Pineda
Romero
Gonsalves
FA?

I don’t think the Twins front office gives up the assets it would take for the Bum - one year rental.

No.

This team isn't in the position to "one year rental" players. If they're going to trade for an established player, it better be for 2+ seasons.

Even with Bum, odds are this team barely makes the playoffs (if even that) and then he walks and we're out two strong prospects for a wild card birth and early exit.

Makes no sense.

Can he beat the Yankees? Red Sox? Astros?

The answer to those questions is the answer to whether or not the Twins should make a run at him.

Well, I'd rather have him than any current Twin pitcher. Maybe Berrios gets to that point, but he's not there yet.

It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

usually with a thread title like this, it has at least rumors or a writer hinting of this happening and not magical speculation.

More likely on a deadline deal. If they get to July, are hanging around, and have a ? In the rotation, he'd be a good option.
