A $40m DH, when they have maybe 2 and a half good starting pitchers?

They’re in a rough spot with pitchers. There’s Duffey, Gibson, Hughes, May, Milone, Nolasco, Santana and Berrios. Some could go to the minors or BP…but either way, they’re pretty locked in. The only way out of the logjam is to trade.
Not sure a trade would even work, because there isn’t a ton of value there. Guessing Berrios is off limits, which he probably should be unless they’re getting something really good in return.

Not many reliable starting pitches are available for $40 million. That’s Nolasco/Garza territory. They will be just fine turning to internal options to improve the staff among May, Berrios, and Duffey to go along with Santana, Hughes and Gibson not to mention Milone and Meyer.

Yeah how if your the GM of twins was is not clear that pitching was and has always been the issue. They have plenty of hitting. I’ve never understood Minnesota sports logic. I live in Fargo and I’m from Texas and I’m always miffed at th decisions they make here concerning football and baseball.

They aren’t going to find much improvement to their starting staff on the free agent market, that will come internally. This deal doesn’t prevent them from pursuing other free agents, as mentioned in the first bullet point they are looking at bolstering their bullpen.

I don’t get the bid for the guy. But hey if they can hit their way into a title and marginal pitching knock yourself out terry Ryan

I do not get acquiring him from a positional stand point but lets not pretend signing Park is what will prevent the Twins from signing the likes of David Price.

I’d love to see the Braves trade for Plouffe.
