Seems like a decent add for a guy that won't cost much and is likely to at least be decent in the power sept even if he regresses back to what he was the previous 3 years.

I agree. It gives us another option. Things are starting to happen. It will be interesting to see if we do anything before the end of December.

We signed a 2B in Schoop who hit 21 HR's last year for $7.5M on a 1 year deal.

32 homers and 105 RBIs with the Orioles in 2017, then sucked after he was traded to the Brewers. Definitely worth a shot.

Twins lost nobody in any of the Rule 5 draft phases and picked up Dustin Knight in the AAA phase. Looks like sort of a late bloomer type based on the stats I'm looking at. It's been a good day for the farm system.

Looks like potentially a great pickup. 1.71 ERA last year in the minors with a WHIP under 1 and more than a K per inning. Plus, he does a back flip on the mound when he saves a game!

What?!?! Man picking a guy like that just for marketing purposes alone seems like a good business decision! Lol

Perfect pickup and bullpen addition.

Nelson Cruz at a relatively friendly cost. If healthy no reason u can't pencil him in for 30 hrs and 90 ribs. Nice move

Agreed
