Sure could have used Kimbrel last night. He agreed to terms with the Cubs, sounds like the Twins were in the right ballpark for salary, but the Cubs gave him 3 years with an option for a 4th, Twins only offered 2. I think Keuchel agreed to terms with the Yanks.
What was the actual Twins offer?
Never thought the Twins would be able to outbid the Cub$, Yankee$, Red So$, or Dodger$ for either guy.
No offence, but first Kimbrel wont pitch in a game for at least a couple weeks (at bare minimum, could be a month). Second, no one is prepared to go out into a 7th inning that was postponed for over 1 1/2 hours.
All the girls up here think he's cute too.I guess I didn't realize Maxie already has a 3-tater game under his belt. The Twins' patience with him is beginning to pay off.
RÓŻYCKI! How great has it been to watch him and Polanco show they are worth the money the Twins gave them this off season?All the girls up here think he's cute too.
Nice road trip. Now back home to thump on the Mariners. Cruz is hot, he'll enjoy tormenting his former club.
They could certainly use a reliever. Depending upon Perez, they may need a starter.It feels like they need one starter and one reliever. The back end of the rotation seems to be falling off. I don't think they can expect to blast HRs throughout the playoffs and there will always be that 2-1 game that requires some tough outs from the pitching staff.
I think we have built up enough good will with teams around the league (Being sellers so much), we should be able to get a couple relievers without mortgaging the farm.

They seem to have embraced the modern concept of how to use relievers in high leverage situations but they could really use an old school closer that you know won't blow a 2 or 3 run 9th inning lead.
