Surprised Heyman didn't bemoan this contract being another blow to the "little guy" owners as well.

- Thread starter Tokyo Sox
- Start date
True, good point, but also they should get a fuil season of Manoah. They're probably not done adding guys either, they could use some bullpen help certainly.
But also a FA after 2022, so trying to get value from his final season, although seems like they could have gotten more.
Could have moved him at the deadline, if/when they were out of it. But then they'd have to pay for April, May, June, and July.

High-powered reliever Joe Kelly has agreed to a 2-year contract with the Chicago #WhiteSox. The deal will be final when he completes a physical.

They want to trade Kimbrel so this may be his preemptive replacement.
TLR was the “driving force” behind this.

Has it really been five years already since his arrest?

Seems a little soon for the Twins to give up on their 2021 1st round pick, especially for Sonny Gray.
I guess it’s good that the Twins are still going for it, but the sequence of trading Berrios for prospects, and then turning around and trading different prospects for Gray seems… I dunno, inefficient at best?
Between the two deals, the Twins gave up Berrios and an 18-year-old prospect and gained Gray and three prospects. The two they received for Berrios were both ranked in the top-100 prospects last year. And the money for this year is essentially a wash (Gray and Berrios both are due $10M), and they have Gray for an additional year at reasonable money ($12M option). There's an argument that the Twins came out ahead.
Even just the Austin Martin/Chase Petty part, Martin was the #5 overall pick in 2020 (and people though that might have even been low), Petty was the #26 overall pick in 2021.
They also lost Wade Miley, who was coming off a 141 ERA+ campaign, to the Cubs on waivers. And now they trade Gray for a low level pitching prospect who projects as a reliever.
What a shitty front office.
I think this is right, as an overall value evaluation. Of course, the two moves weren’t connected, and I’m still annoyed that the Twins couldn’t figure out a way to extend the homegrown Berrios. Toronto extended him about 12 seconds after trading for him, and for a relatively reasonable amount given Berrios’s durability and solid consistency. But anyway…
Gomez seems to be wrong. Rosenthal says 1 year, Feinsand has more details with 1 year plus option:

The possible value of the deal is 2/28 and the guarantee is 15M, so Gomez had the numbers but some details got crossed
Carlos Martinez to the giants, minor league deal only.

Obviously no idea if this is true but this would make the Twins' side of the Yankees deal make a lot more sense:

Might as well get the other surgery he needs to right now while he is going to be out anyway.
Apparently Tatis had a motorcycle accident in the offseason, and due to the lockout this injury was not properly diagnosed until now.
Speaking of vehicular accidents:

Wonder if he had a provision in his contract that didn't permit motorcycle usage, a la Monta Ellis and mopeds (not exactly the same thing, I realize, as mopeds aren't motorcycles, and I think Ellis was suspended for his covering up/ lying about the act as much as being in breach of the contract terms). And even if he did have such a clause, would it be relevant since it occurred during the lockout.
Hope he heals up quickly. Fun to watch.

By diagnosed do you mean disclosed? There's been no lockout on competent doctors.

I want the Sox to land Montas but I really like what the Twins are doing. Nice to see they’re not rolling over for the White Sox juggernaut.

Where have you read a report citing a link between the alleged accident and this injury? I’m seeing speculation to this effect but nothing more.
