Sources: Correa to Twins after Mets talks fizzle

Star shortstop Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins are finalizing a six-year, $200 million contract, pending a physical, sources told ESPN.

Why?

Without some solid pitching, it's a waste of money.

The Twins got a decent back of the rotation pitcher, a very highly thought of prospect and a real lottery ticket. No one knows what a 17 year old will become, but his stats from the DSL look impressive.

Just 2 more days until pitchers and catchers report.

What's up with Mahle, is his shoulder better?

We'll find out soon, I hope.

Here is a story abour Mahle.

Mahle healthy, ready to unveil new-look slider

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Tyler Mahle and the Twins have now had a full offseason to assess and evaluate what happened last fall -- why the club’s biggest acquisition at the Trade Deadline continued to deal with shoulder fatigue that limited him to four starts with Minnesota, and what could

He says he feels great and is ready to contribute.

 

[Nosferatu]

Any excitement for the Twins this year? I'm actually a little optimistic, wish we had a different manager though.

 

[catman]

The outfield defense should be very good with excellent arms. Taylor will be a really good 4th outfielder and Gallo, Buxton and Kepler should be left to right. I am concerned about 1B now, but Vazquez should solidify the catching position. Not sure about the rotation, a lot of 2/3s there.

 

[Nosferatu]

Not sure about the rotation, a lot of 2/3s there.

Agreed, but this is probably the most excited i've been about the rotation in 20 years.

Thursday is almost upon us.

 

[catman]

So far, Kepler and Miranda have looked great this spring. Ryan, Gray and Lopez are pitching well. Julien has looked really good as well, but is going to be in St Paul this year, at least to start. Not sure just where he fits defensively, but he is nearly ready to contribute with his bat. Bailey Ober has looked really good and will also start in St Paul, but he is just a phone call away.

 

[fknhippie]

I know the Twins didn't play yesterday, but i had to check to make sure they didn't find a way to lose anyway.

 

[Nosferatu]

I'm sure i'm overreacting but i'm a little worried about Miranda, he's looked over-matched so far, going into the season I had him as one of the top 3 position players we needed to take that next step to compete for a division title.

 

[catman]

Julien can play 3B if needed. That is a possibility when Polanco comes back.

 

[fknhippie]

is Polanco the only Twin that can pit the bat on the ball?

 

[catman]

Buxton hit another homer tonight and Larnach has 17 RBI. If he keeps this pace up, he'll have about 130 this year.

Maeda absolutely sucks.
