Kopech would hurt ... Giolito I could stomach of it meant Machdo signs long term. Gio was loooking good at end of last season tho but Kopech just has nasty stuff

We got tons of young arms in stable to fill a solid rotation
Hope you guys get raped and Manny walks next winter. I'm gonna need some company in the cellar for a while. :mjcry:

They won’t get raped without a long term deal in place

I don’t know how I feel about it either way right now. All depends on the cost

I mean we don’t sign stars tho, so this would be a huge step forward for the Sox

He’s 25 and will be worth his next contract

The plan has always been to spend next winter or the following once the young talent was ready

I had feeling the would offer bag next offseason to him. They must feel that in order to sign him long term they need to bring him in while under contract and not compete on open market
Really risky, he probably won't give a fuk once he hits fa

No way Machado isn’t gonna test free agency. Especially since he’s coming off a bad year. He could potentially get 300 Million and play in NY.
If they can’t sign him they shouldn’t do it then, unless the price is severely devalued due to rental. Orioles are doing this one winter too late

Supposedly, the O's have several legit offers on the table for Manny. I have zero confidence that this ownership/FO is going to do the right thing. As slowly/deliberately as they move, I can see half those offers being pulled off the table. And the other half won't be deemed nearly good enough.

So they'll probably wind up keeping him (under the pretense of "competing" one more year before everyone leaves) and watch him walk after the season for nothing. I can see it a mile away. :facepalm:

Could not agree more.

Anywhere but Chicago for Machado :blessed:

The new motto. I like the Pineda signing for next year but more proof the Twins gonna Twin and look for decent talent at a discount due to a down year or injury.

I don't think the Twins will make the playoffs this year but I'd like this team to make some moves that help them compete this year and going forward.

When Machado leaves for FA the team that loses him will get a compensatory draft pick.
