Re: Mason we got him!
Nice signing on a reasonable deal. Seems like they have insurance upon insurance for basically every position now if someone starts slow.
Now, go get Kimbrel or Keuchel.

Think I’d have taken the Cruz, Schoop and Mawrin money and signed Harper or Machado

Same but I doubt they would have taken it. I'd rather take 300 million and live in San diegoSid Hartman wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 11:58 am Think I’d have taken the Cruz, Schoop and Mawrin money and signed Harper or Machado

I honestly love what they have done offensively. If they get a legit pitcher, starter or reliever, I'll gladly eat my crow from earlier in the off season

Re: Mason we got him!
1. Those 3 guys cost about $45 million total. Machado's just cost $300 million. It's not apple's to apples just because they cost about the same this year.Sid Hartman wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 11:58 am Think I’d have taken the Cruz, Schoop and Mawrin money and signed Harper or Machado
2. Those guys fill 3 spots, and, great as they are, Machado and Harper can only play one.
3. They can still sign Harper if they want. There's no salary cap in baseball. They can do whatever they want.
4. Marwin has a ring. He knows how to get to the top. I like that.

Re: Marwin we got him!
I like the move. A bit concerned because Marwin got off to a crap start last year but I like having more versatility. Especially with some of our injury prone guys.
Still not overly excited about our pitching staff but I would assume they are done spending now.

Can we flip Adriannza for a low level prospect? He seems to be the odd man out with Marwin coming aboard.

Re: Marwin we got him!
Never really complain with twins spending money. Nice player here.
But would prefer they spent the money on an another arm instead. Maybe they still do. But need seems greater there.

Re: Mason we got him!
So true. People always assume the most money will get any player to this market. There's probably countless swings and misses behind the scenes that we don't hear about.Ron Burgundy 4 President wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 2:54 pmManny or Harper still would have told the Twins to pound sand.Sid Hartman wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 11:58 am Think I’d have taken the Cruz, Schoop and Mawrin money and signed Harper or Machado

Re: Marwin we got him!
They're very similar players actually. But the big difference is that Marwin has been on the biggest stage and came up in the clutch.
His overall numbers won't wow you, but he hit a game tying home run in the World Series to help keep Houston from going down 0-2. Kenley Jansen hasn't been the same since in terms of postseason effectiveness.

I actually like what they've done on offense too. I just wish they weren't so cheap that they've virtually ignored the pitching staff.OliverMiller wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 12:07 pm I honestly love what they have done offensively.

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.

I like that Marvin can play multiple positions. He got off to a horrendous start last year. Our offense has some depth.

Solid utility guy. Good defender. He's had some real clutch hits in the post season.

Re: Marwin we got him!
Good move Twins. I like the signing.
Heard a rumor that the Twins may attempt to trade Rosario for pitching because they don’t think they will be able to extend him at their price.

I couldn’t agree more.
