Were the Twins "kicking tires" in trying to sign Trumbo?

The Braves have claimed outfielder Adam Walker off waivers from the Orioles, Baltimore announced. He’ll take the roster spot just vacated by catcher Tuffy Gosewisch, filling Atlanta’s 40-man.

He said that QB's such as Sammy Baugh, Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas had names that conjured up images of team leadership. Names such as Chuck Bednarik,Dick Butkus and Ray Nitschke..... their names sounded frightening as they terrorized offensive players that ventured into their territory. A QB Karras played with had the best arm of anyone but his name was the kiss of death......Milt Plum. He said with a name like that, all you can envision is a kid wearing knickers and taking violin lessons.

What image comes to mind with a player named Tuffy Gosewisch?????

We know it made Suzuki into the hitter he was.

Seriously, I think the design is a great idea....baseball is so reluctant to change. To try something different.

My question.......will the bats with the new handle design be less prone to breaking? Way too many broken bats when players are allowed to file down the handles to a stick diameter.

Yangervis Solarte enjoyed a very good season for the Padres in 2016 despite dealing with unimaginable tragedy off the field. Yuliette Solarte, Yangervis’ wife, was diagnosed with liver cancer in late 2015 and passed away last September at age 31. As the infielder tells Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Solarte was prepared to skip last year’s Spring Training to spend time with his wife and their three daughters, but Yuliette urged him to focus on baseball in order to continue providing for their family’s future. Yuliette saw her husband secure his first life-changing payday last spring in the form of a $3.15MM brand contract with Fantex, and Solarte gained even more financial security by signing a two-year extension with the Padres this past January. Sanders’ touching piece is well worth a full read, chronicling the couple’s life together, Solarte’s journey to the big leagues and Yuliette’s battle after her heartbreaking diagnosis.

Such a shame. The extra time he could have spent with her vs locking in the money for their children's future. Solarte is a true professional hitter. Put him in a good lineup and he would score and drive in a hundred runs each.

Yep, I defended the trading of him.

If he was ever going to be any good, the Nats wouldn't have traded him.

That being said, a team like the Cardinals could probably turn him around.
The Twins and 31 others likely couldn't as well.

Milone in the MIL bullpen. Guess no griping/complaining for now.

Nolasco will start opening day for the Angels.

Didn't bother me a bit losing Meyer. I don't think he will ever truly establish his command of the strike zone.
