Kyle Gibson wrote up some thoughts about leaving the Twins, the Twins community and joining the Rangers... As always, Gibson is classy, even in leaving. It's been a joy to get to know him, to watch him pitch and all he does in the game and in the community. 

 

 

A class guy

From time to time, there are posts that deserve more than a like. This is one of those.

Aw, thanks to Kyle for the kind sentiments. Hopefully free agents see that and look forward to coming here.

 

Here’s hoping Gibson does so well in Texas we have a thread here in three years discussing the merits of re-signing him!

Thanks for the memories Kyle. Best wishes to you and your family. I'm proud of the mission trips and the sponsoring of Christian concerts. Keep sharing your faith.This world desperately needs more men like you and Brian Dozier and others who are in the public eye and will share their Christian faith..

I am sorry to see Gibby go, but am happy for him and his opportunity. What a class act!

Couldn't stand watching him pitch, but then I heard him interviewed--the guy is a mensch.  Good luck in Texas Gibby!

He is a guy that gets it.  Always nice to see players be incredibly thoughtful.  He will be missed but I still think he needed a fresh start.  Hopefully his moving on works out OK for the Twins as well.

I really hope he has a good season for Texas.

We disagree.

Moderator note - let's not debate religion on TD. 

Gibson has always been a class act. I hope he has a successful career in Texas as well as being able to manage his medical condition.
