I wonder what KC didn't like?  K rate is solid,  ERA is excellent.  The WHIP is a tad high but not terrible at 1.28.   I guess they must have felt he was smoke and mirrors.  Not sure how the deadline shakes out for the Twins but given what we have he looks likely to get a look at MLB level unless the Twins find something better.

Peacock is now 34 and though he has a high K rate, he's walking way too many guys and giving up a lot of hits, too. WHIP is sitting at 1.28 in AAA.

That said, Kansas City is cooked for the year, but I believe they're intent on finding a way to become good again, especially with a new stadium on the horizon. Peacock obviously doesn't fit into future plans for KC. I suspect they quickly gauged no team was too interested in Peacock as a trade chip so why not release a veteran who may have a chance to catch on with a contender as a measure of good will?

OMG Brad Peacock, our season is saved!!!! This isn't the elite closer we needed! Why is Falvey even using ink on these guys? Does he really believe BRAD PEACOCK is the guy? Just what I was expecting from this front office. We're doomed to burn in eternal hellfire for 1,000 years now! Fire Falvey!!! Fire them AALLLLLLLL!!!!!


Sweet. Needed to make sure that post was made.

Hey! This guy is a two-way pitcher. Can start AND relieve. The Twins solved both of their pitching needs flying under the radar!
