Re: Twins extend 4 year offer for Josh Donaldson
Finally a ballsy move!
Love it but we still need to add some pitching. Hope getting Josh didn't mean we missed out on some pitchers.

Re: Twins extend 4 year offer for Josh Donaldson
Does this mean that Sano is moving to 1B?

Puts them in the 135-ish million range for payroll?

Re: Twins extend 4 year offer for Josh Donaldson
I would assume both can rotate 3b, 1b, DH. But mostly him at 3b and Sano 1b.
Imagine having a power hitting 1b for once!

Re: Twins extend 4 year offer for Josh Donaldson
Would be nice now to trade for a starter. Easy to just say wait til deadline. But with 2 starters out the first half and after this big signing. Time is now.

It's way more than I would have given him, but I commend finally making a fucking effort.

Re: Twins extend 4 year offer for Josh Donaldson
I can't wait to have Sano's 'defense' at 1b rather then 3b. That's going to be just a boost

Re: Twins extend 4 year offer for Josh Donaldson
So he's guaranteed 92 million, but 8 million of that is a buyout if the Twins decline their team option in the fifth year. It could be a 5-year, 100 million dollar deal, which would be a bargain if he's still slugging like Cruz when he's that age.

Re: Twins ink Josh Donaldson to four-year, $92 million deal
MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports that the Twins and free agent third baseman Josh Donaldson are in agreement on a four-year contract. Jon Heyman adds that the deal is for $92 million.
Donaldson, 34, had a bounce-back year with the Braves, batting .259/.379/.521 with 37 home runs and 94 RBI over 659 plate appearances, helping the club win the NL East for a second consecutive season. Donaldson missed most of the 2018 season due to injuries, so he took a one-year deal with the Braves to rebuild his value. It worked.
The Twins recently inked third baseman Miguel Sanó to a three-year, $30 million contract extension. It would seem that the club now has three terrific players (Nelson Cruz being the third) for two positions — third base and DH — but they may choose to move Sano to first base.
No matter what the Twins end up doing, one thing is for certain: they are going to hit the baseball. This past season, the club ranked second in batting average, slugging percentage, and OPS, and fourth in on-base percentage. Adding Donaldson into the mix can’t make opposing pitchers in the American League feel good.
The Braves and Nationals were both in pursuit of Donaldson’s services. Now that he’s in Minnesota, one wonders if the two NL East teams might get even more in the mix for Kris Bryant and Nolan Arenado.
My shit don’t stink.
