Rose is a bad basketball player at this point, and I don't want him as a person on this team either. It makes no sense to bring him in.

At least he has the excuse of being hurt. If he's going to play like this though, then sitting out for a while would be a good idea.

Jeff Teague about single-handedly lost tonight's game. Between the two point guards, 1-16 with 2 points.

For Chris: what did he see from Nick Gordon in the second half, and also if he has any thoughts on his struggles against lefties? Thanks.

That's what happens when you throw 100 mph.

I think us Twins fans may devalue the closer role because every pitcher the Twins have thrown into that role have done very well. Perkins, Jepsen for that year, Kintzler, and Belisle. Just throw someone in the 9th and they'll put up a solid line.

Tyler Wells has become one of my favorite prospects after that interview. He seems to have a great mindset, and the comment on Royce Lewis is great to hear too.

That is an awful return for the Pirates. How is Colin Moran is the headliner for Gerrit Cole? Imagine how much worse this trade would look last offseason with those prospect hauls the White Sox got.

I agree with the above comments, especially about Gabriel Moya. He should not even be under consideration for being dropped off.

He got a 6th year for the injuries, unfortunately (no offense to him).

Aren't we past the time when it matters that much if you're the setup guy or the closer when it comes to free agent salaries?

I'd think Rodney gets the first shot, but if his control issues cause problems, I could see a quick role change.

This seems like a very good signing, as Reed is right in his prime years. A Hildenberger, Reed, Rodney back of the bullpen is something I have confidence in.

Looking at his A&M numbers, he wasn't very good then either. Hopefully he's behind the freshman bigs and Stockman in the rotation next year.

Fitzgerald is soooo bad at the game of basketball

The Wolves are on fire and Jimmy Butler is playing like an MVP (non-LeBron James division). This type of play over the past month is what I was hoping for, and I'm looking forward to where they can go from here.

7 years for Erik Hosmer? Now I kinda hope KC brings him back.

Maybe the Timberwolves will just never make 3's, just like the Twins never strike anyone out.

Also you just have to make shots. Getting outscored by 39 points from 3 isn't going to work.

The Timberwolves were outscored 27 to 12 in the 4th quarter in tonight's game against the Bucks. That was just awful offense late in the game, so many heaves at the end of the shot clock.

Jimmy Butler with an amazing effort to will the Wolves to a win, 39 points. Taj Gibson was great again too. A very fun game to watch, besides all of the questionable foul calls late.

Good luck with Burdi even pitching 6 years in the majors.

People were considering Florida a legit Final Four contender a couple of weeks ago, then they lost 3 straight, including one at home to Loyola Chicago. Duke just lost to Boston College. It happens. The Gophers will be fine.

With KAT showing no interest in becoming a good defender at the 5, I'm starting to question if you can win with him there instead of at the PF. I always thought that he would be a fine defender, but it's past time where he should have shown that.

The Twins have a nice balance of high contact guys to go with the power in their lineup. Granite, Mauer, and Polanco are extremely good at making contact, and I think Kepler could get in that category too.
