He’s 30.
Walks are up
Velocity is down

Would he be worth a big contract?

He still had 42 saves last year and 96 k's in 62 innings. 3 year, 14-16 per deal would work for me. He was the 3rd best closer in the league last year. Throw money out of the equation. The Twins need quality arms out of the bullpen.

How does that not sound exactly like a Twins closer?

I kid.

Not really.

I love the idea of having an elite closer. However, it's hard to justify $15-20 million per year for 60 innings of work.

Give me a good starter over a highly paid closer at this point.

I mean...they could do both. It's just money, and it's not my money, so might as well spend it.

I don't believe there's a good one out their. Roll the dice on a 1 year deal with Gio? Sure....

I've never understood the "it's not my money".

Of course, but it's someone's money and everyone has a max they are willing to spend. My expectation is a130 million payroll. They are at 117 right now so I definitely think they should move for an arm.

Even if you're joking, others aren't when they say that.

Bucholz signed a yr with the jays, just under 3 mil plus incentives. seems reasonable. i'm not a big fan, butt prolly would've been decent signing imo.
