They didn't get pitching, but they got an impact player. Hell of a move.
I give the Twins a lot of credit for opening the purse; that's a big contract for someone that age with injury problems. I sincerely hope it works out for Minnesota; I've always found it easy to root for them.Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalDonaldson is 34. His deal with #MNTwins is second-largest for a player 33 or older. Only one larger: Kevin Brown’s 7-year, $105M deal with the #Dodgers from 1998.
It's cute that amyone thinks athletes avoid reporters by "writing" for the Players Tribune.Or that anyone sees the Players Tribune as anything more than a PR firm.Or that anyone, you know, reads it. And Cheeks understanding of how this story broke is painfully inaccurate, it seems. He should ask his friends at the Athletic.
Beltran's "niece's" tweet is really damning. She broke the news a week before he got the Mets job, and she posted on Twitter two days ago that Beltran was getting fired. All of her tweets were spot on. She's made her account private today.She flat out claims Altuve and Bregman are wearing buzzers on their right shoulders to know what pitch is coming. She also claims she has pictures too.I think the more this gets dug into, it's going to get even worse.Edit: Some people believe this Twitter account is a burner account from someone in the Astros organization for what it's worth.
FWIW ... Beltran's family says that the person claiming to be his niece is not related to the family in any way.Which isn't to say what's being tweeted isn't true ... just that it's a fake profile.
Yeah, I edited my post to say it's being speculated it's a burner account, which makes sense. This account though has gotten things right thus far in regards to breaking the Beltran hiring/firing before both were announced by other media outlets though.
Jomboy also says he has 5 independent sources who have mentioned the buzzers.Altuve should lose his MVP award if true.
\I heard this speculated almost immediately as a sign stealing device. https://twitter.com/Jomboy_/status/1188255881814773766
This has gotten GNARLY today. The garbage cans were bad enough. But the buzzers are another level entirely. Penalties could get intense. I wonder how the MLBPA navigates this.
Et tu, Orbit?
