There is no way we can compete with our current roster. We need to fill so many holes

At least we got something. This is prime reason why the organization needs to be careful how they treat players. Hoping Buxton is traded as well so we simply can start over. The Twins are miles away from being able to compete and we might as well go young.

I like the post but Buxton hasn’t been healthy 459 games out of 1134 games roughly. He has been injured for more than half his career. Trade him.

Are we really discussing on how Buxton impacts this club ? He hasn’t had a healthy season except for one time. Given his injuries I would say this will never change. I thought they should of traded him two years ago when he was doing well and I think we should trade him if the return is decent. The Twins need a lot of help to being able to compete again, dump Buxton and get some pitching.

I just don’t understand articles like this anyhow, They teach that in little league, 2 outs plays at 1

That is not good news at all.

Are you serious? We have the 3rd best record in the AL. We lost one game to the Reds and it is time to throw in the towel?

Hmmm, he got a break alright.

This guy is done. Move on to the next one.

With a bunch of MLB players already getting the virus and since cases have skyrocketed I just don’t see it happening .

Ask the players and the owners how losing a season of baseball did for their overall profit? How long did it take last time for baseball to rebound? Gimme a break.

Wasn’t this the series against New York were Mauer hit the ball down the left field line only to have it be called foul when replays clearly showed it was fair?

Until the Twins actually beat the Yankees in a playoff game they are both the best of anything.

Bailey is in his 15th year pitching and has had his whole arm pretty much replaced. He is a rental and hopefully can win a couple of games so we can dump him at the end of May because of how bad he is.

I had very low expectations regarding the Twins and this off-season. There has been so many years that the Twins made zero moves and did nothing to improve the team except fill holes with players well out of their prime. It seems to me the Twins are finally turning the corner and realize if you indeed make your team competitive you will fill your coffers. What is a huge deal about this off-season is the signing of Donaldson. This might be the corner we are turning when it comes to the lack of superstar free agency signings and the proof that the orginization finally wants to stay competitive. The only reason on why I would not give them an A instead of a B is because they again are really rolling the dice with our starting pitching. We signed a bunch of pitchers who are on their downswing in their careers. This only is about free agency signings and not Twins who were on the current roster. Saying that it doesn't mean they won't go after anyone in free agency in July but it is cause for concern. What makes me optimistic is that this team made itself better when it comes to defense and power. Of we can keep that lineup healthy we should easily win at least 100 games this year and make a run in the playoffs hopefully breaking our playoff curse.

Great point but why not at least attempt to be more harsh and than when it doesn't work you can have the punishment that you have now?

Complete bs. Only reason for the regret is because he along with that cheating team got caught. The punishment was a joke and the commish has zero clue when dealing with anything baseball. I will stay on topic but times like these I want Selig in there.

The guy is made of glass but I don't see a reason not to sign him.

I just don't find the need to trade away top prospects right now when the asking price is so high. Wait to see what we have and if we need a pitcher get him in July.

Yes you wait and put trust in that last year's 101 wins was not a fluke. You really didn't take away any key players that would make you believe that we couldn't win that many games again. The only way I would like to see a trade now is to get rid of Mr.Byron Glass Buxton. We should of done it last year and we should still do it this year.

I believe that would be a much bigger punishment than any type of fine.

They got caught cheating and got a slap on the wrist. Should of banned them from post season for 2 years.

Trade Buxton and be done with it. How many years are we going to continue to say that he will learn not to run into the wall going 25mph? I love his intensity but I also believe he is made of glass. His stock is still high and it is time to move on and aquire a pitcher who is decent for him.

I can't believe and I completely will eat crow on this. I consider this to be a good off-season now. Yup we didn't get a impact starter but we got someone who can play good D and smash that ball.
