Is Silva son of former Twins pitcher with same name?

We can all breath. CC’s officially listed on the 40 man roster after the DFA of Garlick.

I’m guessing that physical will be less of a problem for the original 6 years. Now let’s go after one of the Marlins starters!

And it has a vesting option for 4 more years for an additional $70M, with no opt outs.

Yawn. Too many lefties in OF. Not gonna draw fans. Bad/boring move.

Saw the tweet by Doogie,. Twins web site still shows Johan in transactions. Resigning Jair makes more sense.

Just signed Johan Camargo, switch hitting infielder, not Jair Camargo, catcher.

The ‘M’ hat goes with the blue top, home or away. Overall, I won’t be rushing out to purchase any of this stuff. It took two years to design this? Not impressed. Ugly new hats, don’t like the numbers. Yawn. I liked the red jerseys with the TC alternate and the original cream home alternates. Color me bored.

One more spot available as Stashak has been waived and opted to become a minor league free agent. That’s now 36 spots on the 40 man taken.

Thanks for your info

Does anyone else have problems with this web site crashing … a lot. I can’t get through a story or a topic without the site crashing 2-3 or more times. Sometimes if I’m posting it will crash 4 or 5 times. Very frustrating. I don’t know if it’s because of all the ads that make it go down, but something needs to be done. I’m using my iPad for reading and posting if that helps. Thanks.

We know Sano will be dropped and Leon is a FA so they are locks. I’ve seen enough of Palacios and C Hamilton to add them to the list of locks. I would take Sands off your list. We still have a number of major leaguers who are on the 60 day IL who will need to be put on the 40 man for the winter, Kirilloff, Larnach, Paddack, Maeda, Lewis and Alcala. Others on the 60 day that are more questionable include Coulombe, Stashak, and Romero.

Even at a $120M base for payroll, we will still have a huge amount of money. This year’s payroll was in the ballpark of $160M. Take away $35M for Correa, $9M for Sanchez, $10M for Sano, $8M if we trade Kepler, and the $6M we sent to SD in the Rogers trade and that takes $68M off the books, bringing us under the $100M mark. We have lots of young players making well under $1M on the roster. (off the top of my head - Miranda, Gordon, Kirilloff, Larnach, Jeffers, Celestino, Ober, Ryan, Winder, Varland, Duran, Moran, Megill, Jax, and Wallner and probably others that I’m not thinking of). So we still have plenty of money to play with.
