Beradino just tweeted that Plouffe has been out righted. The changes are starting.

Well, good luck to Plouffe.  

Good luck, Trevor. I liked him. But this needed to be done.

 

Twins should have traded him for whatever they could have received a year ago. It would not have changed the result of the season, but at least they'd have a prospect.

This is the right move to make for the Twins. Good luck to Plouffe wherever he decides to sign this winter. 

It begins.

Kind of funny, but I noticed his mom unfollowed all Twins people earlier today. I tweeted that, and wouldn't you know it, 15 minutes later Berardino has the news of the outright. 

 

 

What a waste of trade potential. But it clears room for others to play and that is good.

I think that's an indication that there isn't trade potential, at least not for anything significant.

 

Opens up a spot on the 40-man, too, right?

According to Phil Miller, John Ryan Murphy was waived and claimed by the Brewers.

Wow. That one is surprising. Must be a C signing on the horizon....

Predictions on Plouffe's next contract?  

 

I would say the David Freese deal he got from the Pirates in mid-March, 1 year $3 million is a good barometer. 

Good guy, but the Twins needed his spot more than they needed him. 

Glad to see progress.

Yep, this sounds about right. This may be a long winter of waiting for him. 

One of my absolute favorite guys. For the future of the Twins - this makes a ton of sense. 

 

As a fan of his - I'm still sad to see him go. Best of luck wherever you land* Trevor! 

 

 

*As long as it's not the White Sox.

That and a belief that Garver is ready.

Ended up being not true -- Adam Brett Walker II, not John Ryan Murphy -- was claimed by Milwaukee.
