Dougie should have gotten the bench coach gig and am still trying to figure out how in the he-- Varve got it.

Not to sound mean, but Parm has had chance after chance after chance. Time has come to part ways and move on. Tough to see a first rounder smolder out, but it was not for lack of opportunities!

Take it to the bank or out of the bank as the Twins have done. Twins are done spending $$$$$! Perhaps some minor things, but Pohlad did just what he wanted to do. Generate some interest to sell tix.

like this. Alot of upside!

Agree with the above and I am in the camp of standing pat. Why sign a tail end starter when we have plenty? Lets concentrate on the kids, afterall they are our future!

As mentioned above: Chisox need a cather, 3rd baseman an outfelder, now second baseman. This team needs to learn to play defense and for some reason every year they dont. Did I mention, just as the Twins, they need to get key hits. Are they a better team after the last two days? Yes, Have they improved on a 73 win season to get 20 more wins to win the division? No just saying

My Bro in Minnesnowta is a huge Sox fan, so he is excited. my thought on the Chisox? Much like the Twins, the Sox are in a rebuild mode, so why to you go out and get these players especially Robertson to a team that will not contend and needs no expensive closer? Now trading for Samarjick as a one year rental also makes no sense. Thats the Chisox side. Now the Twins, I truly hope the Twins do nothing in these meetings. My logic: As posted a few days earlier, I belive the Inn is full for starters for the Twins, true, some young kids, but we also are rebuilding with some great possibilities on the way. So why hinder one of our young Starting pitchers progress by signing a so so Free agent?

Agree with the above. I really wanted Dougie to be on the Twins staff as bench coach, but obviously that didnt work and for some unknown reason Varve was retained and elevated????? Nepotism comes to mind with two of his kids in the Twins system. Agree with Jake.

As a Minnesota transplant that now lives in Florida, I enjoyed going to Miracle games and watching Berrios and Walker. I think in time they will be major league studs, one name though that is not to be ignored is Jorge Polanco. He can flat out pick it albeit with some errors, but I think that will get straightend out in time, so thats my vote.

Nice read Nick, Like your headline reads, I believe their is no room in the Inn. I understand trying to improve your pitching but this team will not compete next year, perhaps the year after. By then the young guys will dictate what kind of starting staff you have. Then you can address your needs.

I like Mike and his work, but Mike knew Tori`s views and asking the questions and pursuing more was out of line.

Agree to all the above. Come on guys!

If Arcia had any kind of plate disiplin, he could turn out to be another Big Papi. We moved Big Papy years ago and see what happened> I would hate to see this happen again to Arcia. When he steps up to the plate, he looks ferocious. Just too bad he swings at everything. Two bad defensive outfielders in the same outfield, on a pitching staff starving for teamates to help them out? I just dont understand. As it stands now, the outfield last year is better than this year will be if both Arcia and Hunter are out there at the same time.

I am totally, totally confused by this signing. It makes absolutely NO sense! OMG

I`m getting sick

Is Nick Markakis to spendy for the Twins?

I still do not like the Varve thing, never did. Old regime. Why wasn`t Dougie offered the thing? Or at least the 1st base coach?

spot on Nick

The future is the future, not now. I dont think we have what the Phils want, OK maybe we do but do you want to throw them away to improve yourself to a 50-50 team when these guys could put you in contention in a year or two.

Interesting again. If I knew he was going to be THE thirdbaseman going forward and not Sano, I maybe would do something. Saying that, I would want to see another year like last year out of him.

I probably am in this camp too. Lets wait a year. There really is no hurry.

SERIOUSLY?

Well, Disagree my friend. Stieny was assigned by numerous reports to help Pinto with pitchers and framing pitches. That is all I meant to say. p.s. And Pinto has not improved in the area either. p.s.s. Since being hired in 2012, he had 2013 plus two spring train ings and part of 2014

I like the guy, but he simply could not help Josmil Pinto which speaks volumns. I hope he carries no bad feelings with him,

This team is still in transission, we dont need ahead problem or a superstar on a team that is possibly 2-3 years fron contention..just saying. By the way, read a while back that someone suggested that Twins should just throw out the kids now and let them learn on the run. I wholeheartuly agree! What in the world do you have to lose? It cant be worse than the last 4 years.
