Whether the A’s exercise a $4.25MM club option on Rodney remains to be seen, but the 41-year-old right-hander has certainly given his new team plenty of reason to consider retaining him.
Rodney has fired off eight scoreless innings with a 7-to-2 K/BB ratio since being acquired in exchange for young righty Dakota Chalmers earlier this month.
As Slusser notes, he’s four saves shy of Francisco Cordero’s all-time record for a Dominican-born player.
Rodney is keenly aware of that fact, acknowledging that he’d hoped to set the record with the Twins and still has his sights set on doing so in the future.

Amazing that turd still has a job. Proves that suck can pay off for you in life if you are in the correct situation.

Unreal. We got him in the Castillo trade with the Mets.
Sometimes shit floats, I guess

Hernandez started at second hitting .236
Utly ph hitting .229
Dozier came in, 0-1, hitting .216

Not a good offensive spot for the Dodgers

It is not shocking to me at all. He was a guy who thrived in no pressure situations in an organization where fans lavished praise on him for being "a leader" where all he really ever did was act like a clown

Now he comes to a high profile team where he is expected to perform on the field and clowning around is heavily tethered by strong leadership.

This has been a brutal year in the baseball life of Brian Dozier.
The end is closer than a lot of people ever knew

He thought he was going to get a huge pay day. He thought the Twins were going to reward him handsomely.
Thank goodness we didn't bite into that. The POS cryed during all of ST and into the regular season.
Your right in calling him a clown.

I don't know what he did to inspire this kind of hate. Dozier was our best player for years.

Esky and Dozier. A couple of the better Twins players over the last 5 years or so.

Gardy thought long and hard .... and decided Nicky deserved the degree more than Brandon did.
Because, he ummm, he uhhhhhh, he outworked him, and uhhhh, stuff ..........
And all the Twins sheep nodded in agreement.

Harris’s wife reminds me of my wife’s friend Bethany.
Bethany taught my buddy and I a lesson in Female , er, um, solo private satisfaction time, when we were all drunk.

Let’s just say the audience was captivated.

Utterly captivated.

Once again,
How much smarter is Harris than Gardenhire?

Gardy hated Cerebral ball players as well as those with Power and talent, because he had neither.

But if you needed somebody to drink warm beer and fish with a cane pole, Gardy was your guy.
