The Benefits of Signing Donaldson
Twins Video
There has been a buzz for a little while now that the Twins may sign Josh Donaldson. Here are some key reasons why the Twins should just STOP MAKING US CRAZY AND JUST SIGN DONALDSON ALREADY.
Defense: Yes, Sano is a very good player offensively. But defensively? Not quite so much. Maybe what he needs is a move to first base! Donaldson could ensure a solid option if Sano decides to move to first.
Home Runs: No, the Twins don't need any home run help. But if every Twins player currently on the roster hits exactly the same number of home runs that they hit this season, the Twins would have 253 home runs. That doesn't even break the 267 2018 record! By signing Donaldson, they'd have a solid 290. (Donaldson hit 37 home runs in 2019)
A Reliable Player: Even if Sano can't make the move to first, they'd be able to split time between Donaldson and Sano, which makes for two reliable players at third.
No, Donaldson wouldn't be able to fill the Twins' biggest hole: STARTING PITCHING. The words strike fear in every Twins fan's heart. And with the Yankees stupid signing of Cole, our playoff luck isn't looking much better because the season ends the same way every year: Yay! We got into the playoffs! Shoot! We have to play the Yankees. I guess I'll just watch the Twins lose. So hopefully, 2020 will change the tune a little bit. *Now tries to find fingers crossed emoji* Dang, why are emojis so hard to find? I guess I'll just write it instead: Fingers crossed! Yes, I was hoping that the Twins would celebrate Christmas by signing Donaldson or some top notch pitcher but that didn't happen. Sadly. So, we'll just hope that they ring in 2020 by signing Donaldson!
