June 25, 20197 yr Carlos Torres... We got him! On a minor league deal. Gardy couldn't mold him in Detroit AAA... All he needs is a little Wes Johnson magic! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/06/twins-sign-carlos-torres.html
June 25, 20197 yr More than magic will be needed. I can't imagine that would be though. Perhaps an arm implant of some sort.
June 25, 20197 yr Who needs trades when we've got Krol, Hutchinson, Allen and Torres!!!!It feels a little disingenuous.
June 25, 20197 yr They seem to be stocking up on AAA pitchers. One might wonder if in deals being discussed include moving a few of the AAA prospects. It seems like 10 of them have had auditions this year.
June 25, 20197 yr His second player comp is Juan Rincon.Keith Atherton too, a little further down the list. 1987 all over again?
June 27, 20197 yr Keith Atherton too, a little further down the list. 1987 all over again?oh common... Ron.Davis /endthread
July 24, 20197 yr He has been added to the 40 man roster. You've got to be kidding me.Embarrassing...Torres is horrifc as well

July 24, 20197 yr Maybe the FO is hoping the Yankees will be laughing so hard they can't swing the bat?
July 24, 20197 yr He has been added to the 40 man roster. You've got to be kidding me.You’ll have to be specific, there are 30 teams.
July 24, 20197 yr His second player comp is Juan Rincon. You mean, comparing Juan Rincon, Today? Edited July 24, 20197 yr by jokin
July 24, 20197 yr al worthington wasn’t available? I heard he took a call for Ron Perranoski by mistake and hung up on Falvey.
July 24, 20197 yr According to baseball reference, Torres hasn’t had a salary since 2017. I guess the union’s been losing more ground than I realized. No indication yet on whether this was a factor in the Twins deciding to sign him.
July 24, 20197 yr Yikes we dumped Blake Parker to add Carols Torres, I know Parker was struggling to throw strikes but not sure adding a soft throwing guy to a bullpen mix that is 16th in the American League in ERA is going to help much. Would rather have swung and miss with Romero or Gonsalves than try this. In fact both Romero and Gonsalves should be mad at themselves that they are not options the Twins could use at this point.Gonsalves isn’t an option, and won’t be on option all year, apparently. Injured, then shut down two months ago. I do find it interesting that they don’t seem to be terribly motivated to give Romero another try.
July 24, 20197 yr You’ll have to be specific, there are 30 teams.You have to be more specific, which sport.
July 24, 20197 yr I do find it interesting that they don’t seem to be terribly motivated to give Romero another try.He was shut down for a month, then has been back for 4 games.
July 24, 20197 yr You have to be more specific, which sport.Torres, soccer possibly? Not sure if they carry a 40 man roster though, it’s awfully fast paced to count all the players.
July 24, 20197 yr I can understand if the Twins are playing .500 baseball (wait, they are...forthe last month). Jeez. Okay. Lots of prospects in the minors. Won't be able to protect them all. Will just release or Rule 5 or let them walk as minor league free agents in the next couple of seasons. Because we can still find rejects, use them and abuse them, and send them along to another team. Just what you do in a pennant race!
July 24, 20197 yr According to baseball reference, Torres hasn’t had a salary since 2017. I guess the union’s been losing more ground than I realized. No indication yet on whether this was a factor in the Twins deciding to sign him. 2018 he was with the Nats and this season was with Detroit.
July 25, 20197 yr 2018 he was with the Nats and this season was with Detroit. Pretty sure that if he was at b-r.com to notice this little glitch in the record-keeping in order to make a joke about it, he noticed the actual play record as well.
