Garza refused to throw an "out" pitch, instead trying to rely on his fastball. Through the minors he was able to blow batters away, but most major league hitters will feast on a steady diet of...

I agree with both posts. They signed a few stop-gap guys, a couple prospects, get a couple back from injury, and got blindsided by the Baker signing. Things could have been worse.

Time to appreciate Joe Mauer - AGREED. Read the posts on these boards during the season....Mauer can't hit for power, Mauer won't switch positions, Mauer grounds into too many DP's, Joe Mauer does...

Michael Young was traded to Philadelphia. MLBTR thinks Texas may be looking for a 1B/DH type and that Olt may be available. Think Morneau would bring him?

I agree that Price, Shields, Hellickson, Moore, etc... will get more close calls than the Twins ragtag band of misfits will. Plus, how many of those framing calls does Molina get based on name and...

Are you still taking his side?

Earlier today, Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz was suspended for 25 games in a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. In a phone interview, General Manager Ruben Amaro said that...

If there is such a logjam of OF talents in the minors, maybe the "brains" of the Twins operation should try to turn some of it into SP and MI as there seems to be not such logjam.

I think that a 2 year, $16M contract would have been worth a flyer on him, except that the teams cup runneth over with OF's. Good move for both Toronto and Cabrera.

Revere has barely two years cracked into the arb clock and won't be a FA till 2018. He's a pretty good bet to put up 2 wins+ for bottom dollar over the next 4 seasons. That is a little more than a...

Kudos to the Jays for the Deal of the Decade, if not Century. That being said, I don't think they are done. There are several free agents out there yet plus, it seems, they are very creative on the...

Here is the news on MLB Trade Rumors

Blame it on Big Papi....turning a power hitter into a singles and doubles hitter. Blame it on Torii Hunter....refusing to overpay for a CF who was about to be a corner OF...... Blame it on Johan...

The Twins picked Denard Span with the 20th pick that year, Cain was chosen 25th.

Twins won't take on Lincecum's contract.

Pitching may not slump, but it does have bad games (see Verlander, Jason; Sabathia, CC; Carpenter, Chris X2; Zimmerman, Jordan).

The Rangers aren't going to dismantle their team for two players with injury history, I believe thats why they are hedging on Hamilton. But if they'll do Butera for Andrus, by all means jump on it!

Cecil Fielder's last good season was his age 32 season, when he hit 39 HR's with the Yankees and Tigers. He was out of MLB after his age 34 season. Prince is already showing signs of not aging well -...

And, oh by the way, Liriano had a 5.40 ERA with Chicago and his WHIP was higher, BB/9 was higher, SO/9 was lower and SO/BB was lower. Yeah he really improved with the change of scenery. Leave him be,...

If there is any team that could get the maximum out of Liriano I would say it would be the Rays. They get everybody else's best, why not his?

Dreamers, dreamers, dreamers. If trades were that easy and GM's were that agreeable to get screwed, maybe these trades would happen. Span or Revere plus prospects might land one of Johnson, Shields...

I think that having Hardy in the line-up everyday would have been a good thing. Span, Revere, Mauer, Willingham, Morneau, Doumit, Plouffe, Hardy & Carroll would have been offensively and defensively...

Too much BS. Speculate all you want, the decision is Ryan's, with the Pohlad's approval, real or perceived. It will all be addressed and the fans will be given answers, hopefully sooner rather than...

Why not extend him now? Yes the team has OF prospects up the a$$, but that is exactly what they are, PROSPECTS. They may or may not pan out. In a couple of years the team will be needing a veteran...

Gee, it took a national scribe to capture the real Joe Mauer, even if only during the course of one day. How about a round of applause for LEN III, Joe C., Reusse, Souhan et al for dropping the ball,...
