Front Page: FEINSAND: Twins to Sign Josh Donaldson


Recommended Posts

The Twins are now in really good long term shape with respect to their the position players. Garver, Sano, Arraez, Polanco, Donaldson, and Kepler are all under team control through at least 2023 with Buxton around through 2022. With Lewis, Kirilloff, Larnach, and Rooker nearly ready the Twins should have an incredibly strong line-up for the foreseeable future.

It's interesting that the deal includes what is effectively deferred money (the $8 million buyout of Donaldson's age 38 season). His actual annual salary of $21 million in the four guaranteed years will still leave the Twins with tons of payroll room in 2021 and beyond. Obviously for 2020 they must be closing in on the limit, which will impact their SP trade options.

What a day! Our offseason went from treading water to an improvement from the team last year. I’m totally fine with them getting any player who will provide elite value to the team. There’s plenty of evidence showing that WAR value is the same regardless of position and this move maximizes that for the Twins only realistic offseason moves.

Awesome signing!! 

 

MLB.tv had Boston Red Sox reporter comment that the Alex Cora/ sign stealing

debacle really hurts the Red Sox with the expected loss of future 1st Round Draft picks and that the Red Sox farm system is very weak.  Seems that this should give Falvine considerable trade leverage for Chris Sale that they didn't have a just a week ago?
