February 15, 20188 yr Feb 17, 1520Z...Twins announce they have purchased the contract of Texas Ranger minor league signee Bartolo Colon, in exchange for future considerations. You are never normally this optimistic.
February 15, 20188 yr Is it possible to sign a "player to be named later"?Is there a difference between "to be named later" and the "names you can't remember" that they typically sign?
February 15, 20188 yr Is there a difference between "to be named later" and the "names you can't remember" that they typically sign? Yes! In my scenario there at least stands a chance!
February 15, 20188 yr Glen Perkins, Monday Feb 19th. Joining Hunter, Hawkins, Cuddyer and Morneau in some kind of vague front office capacity.The goal is for the team consultants to beat the cocky team of upstart millennials in a team scrimmage leading to new found respect and a pennant. Major League 4. Also Jason Vargas 1 year 7 mil. 2.19 at 2:19. Edited February 15, 20188 yr by Jham
February 15, 20188 yr Well, Santana likely comes back in May, right? And then Trevor May in May as well? There you go :-) No, seriously, they aren't going to sign anyone who will move the needle so maybe next Wednesday? Jaime Garcia.Honestly, given the remaining options, Garcia might be the smartest choice. I hope the front office estimates something positive from Arrieta that I'm not seeing because I'm not impressed by Cobb and I'm super not impressed by Lynn to the point of "ugh".
February 15, 20188 yr The Ask will be too high on the remaining top 3 pitchers and the metrics won't support the price so they will work their way down until the numbers line up and they will prefer a left hander and therefore: Francisco Liriano 1 year deal... March 1st 3:44 PM They won't be able to pull off a decent trade because the Free Agents Asks are too high for the metrics which drives the price of trade acquisition too steep.
February 15, 20188 yr A better prediction is that Falvey and Lavine will read this thread... continue to monitor it and scratch every guess off their list to show creativity. I think they want to surprise us all and they won't let our guesses ruin the surprise.
February 15, 20188 yr The Twins will sign the pitcher that costs the least. Signing date and time: 02/21/18 at 3:16 pm and announced in slow fashion to commemarate the slow offseason on 3/31/18

February 15, 20188 yr Tuesday 2/20 3:30 PMAndrew Cashner 1 year 12 milI second this. Change it to 3PM so I’m in before Sconnie.
February 15, 20188 yr Tis a shame when gallows humor is all that the off season has produced in the SP department!
February 15, 20188 yr I will also try Jaime Garcia, Saturday the 17thWell, I'm a horrible human being, Garcia signed elsewhere https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/02/blue-jays-sign-jaime-garcia.html I'm sure the Archer trade for Kepler will be announced any moment now Edited February 15, 20188 yr by Hosken Bombo Disco
February 15, 20188 yr Chris Giminez (who will have to be released by the Cubs first at 11am Friday, Feb 16, 2018) at noon the same day for 1 million dollars.
February 16, 20188 yr He's signed. Orioles.rats? I guess... kinda good he’s not still out there to sign
February 16, 20188 yr Kenny Rogers to a one year contract on March 13. Why would he give up his lucra.... thriv..... succes.... well, modestly paying music gigs in the southern CA area?Then again, it COULD be more entertaining watching him sing "Islands in the Stream" on the mound every 5th day than some of the alternatives!

It could be Kenny Rogers Roasters Rotisserie Rotisserie
February 16, 20188 yr Given how it is likely to go, I'd rather take my bet back than give it to the team. I loved the title.
February 16, 20188 yr I predict the next big free agent signing will be on February 21, 2067 when the front office signs the great great great grandson of Camilo Pascual to a "futures" contract (a new addition in the latest CBA agreement that allows teams to sign relatives of ring of honor inductees if they are under 10 years old).
February 16, 20188 yr You are right. Shoot.Ask a moderator nicely and this important issue can be resolved.
February 16, 20188 yr Alex Cobb - 4 year deal worth $68m on FridayOkay Twins....go ahead and make the announcement
