That's a pretty weak list for 50 years. Two things factor into it. 1) The Twins have never been good at drafting and developing pitchers. 2) When they do draft and develop a good pitcher, they trade him as soon as they have to pay him.

You're just mad Scott Baker made it.

No one ever said he wasn't durable.

But when that's your claim to "fame"...

Honestly out of the innings list; which ones in the list you posted are in the HOF?

He wasn't even all that durable. He missed starts almost every year and topped 175 innings twice in his career. This was at a time when 200 innings was the benchmark for a starter. Baker hit that sweet spot for the Twins of being good enough to stay in the rotation, but not so good as to worry about paying him a lot.

So:
Topa resigned
Backup Catcher traded for.

Might be all the action that is seen.

, the Topa deal is $1,225,000.

Less than his $2M team option and lower than the $1.7M arb projection.

Speculation is that Larnach will be traded or non tendered today.

Twins have acquired two position players since the season ended: Alex Jackson and Ryan Kreidler.

Jackson is a 29-year-old career .153 hitter in 160 games in the majors.

Kreidler is a 28-year-old career .138 hitter in 89 games in the majors.

The Twins apparently got enough trade interest in Larnach that decided to tender him. The ultimate goal is to trade him.

Vazquez will be happy to see those two.
