I was thinking this too. I knew he had visa issues in spring training. Was that why he was on the restricted list? Or did I miss something during all of this?

I thought he was targeted to start grapefruit league games in mid-March. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/02/health-notes-verdugo-mikolas-buxton-buttrey.html

Can we throw in Duensing?

I would guess Harper too. There might be a minor league deal with him to come back since there will be Hill and Pineda going to the 60 day DL and suspended lists.

Not that I wanted Teheran, but I wanted him as a fall back if they didnt sign Ryu or Keuchel. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/angels-to-sign-julio-teheran.html

I know it is early but I hate seeing Cavaco strike out three times a game, 4 games a week.

If the Twins are interested in Ray and Bradley from Arizona, what do you think it would take to get them? What if the Twins, dare I say, take on some of Tomas too? Doesnt he have like 1 yr, $17 million left? Not that I would want them to do that but they get creative like that to lessen the prospects.

I would like them to make a big splash and get 1 or two of these... (Yates, Vazquez, Syndergaard, Giles, Madbum, Smith, Greinke). But, I know better than that. My gut tells me that they will make one more trade for the likes of one of these guys (Hudson, Bradley, Dyson, Kennedy, Elias). I would be a little shocked if they did nothing else.

Yes, there are newly drafted guys on the list. Rutschman at 7, Vaughn at 12, Witt at 21.

Not specifically related to Giles, but who are some of the guys that will need to be added to the 40 man in the offseason? Has Diaz rebounded enough to be a viable trade chip?

Bryson Stott of UNLV.

Game 7 - Lonnie Smith doesn't pick up the ball that was hit to the OF and Knoblauch fakes a throw to Gagne. Smith stops just beyond second and finally picks up where the ball is and advances to third. He doesnt score. Games goes to extra innings and it turns out kind cool for the home team.

I know a year or two ago the Atlanta Falcons lowered all of their concession prices. I don't have the exact dollar amounts but a hot dog was roughly $3 and beers were $5. I havent seen anything if they had a boost in revenue from that or not. It would be interesting to see some data on that.

Awesome!! Thank you! I was looking for something like this.

Are all the seats on the 1B line in the shade? I am looking at tickets about 10 rows up in 104.

Lineup: C - Castro 1B - Cron 2B - Schoop SS - Polanco 3B - Gonzalez LF - Rosario CF - Buxton RF - Kepler DH - Cruz Bench: C: Garver IF: Adrianza OF: Cave DH/1B: Austin Rotation: Berrios Gibson Odorizzi Pineda Perez Bullpen: May Rogers (L) Parker Mejia (L) Hildenberger Magill Harper IL: Sano, Reed, Moya Harper is added to 40 man and Michael Reed (maybe Duffey) is removed. May gets the majority of the save situations out of the closer by committee.

I know he has draft pick compensation tied to him but isn't there a dollar limit he has to sign for? I thought I remember seeing that last year someone (possibly Chatwood) could have signed for something like $48 million and the signing team didn't have to give up as high of a pick? Maybe I am not remembering that right.

I read that he gets a no trade clause and no opt outs.

Is there an "ideal" timeframe to go with kids (ages 9 and 6)? By that I mean, is it better to go early in spring training? Or later on? We were debating going next year for roughly a week. I just would like to get the kids the best accessibility to players and autographs.

MLB Trade rumors said it will cover 7 seasons. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/02/twins-extend-jorge-polanco.html

I would love to see him as the 5th starter this year. If he isn't the 5th starter, he needs to be in the bullpen and not in AAA. It was mentioned before that the Cardinals do this with their young arms. I would like to see Romero learn to pitch and get batters out at this level in either role. To me, AAA is not an option for him.

Did I miss Jake Mauer's name somewhere? Is he not coaching this year?

Along with the names mentioned above, I wouldn't mind a look at Justin Wilson.

If there is anything good that can come out of this, I hope it left a sour taste in Buxton's mouth and that he realizes to play that the MLB level, you need to perform. I am not saying he did or didn't deserve what happened. I get both sides. The Twins demoted Sano. They demoted Gibson a couple years ago. With Gibson, it seemed to light a fire. I get that in Gibson's case it didn't mess with service time. I just hope Buxton learns from it and figures it out. I hope the Twins and him can mend any differences and get back to producing on the field.

This!!! I am not for or against an extension at this point. I can argue for an against both side. What I would really like to see is a full healthy year before I make a decision. Yes, I know that could be a costly decision but I dont see him signing an extension right now with his value low. I would bet he bets on himself.
