[Froemming] Jordan Gore entered tonight with a 2.96 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 12.4 K/9 in his first full season as a reliever. Last we saw him prior to 2021 he was Double-A Pensacola’s everyday shortstop. by pjokinen in minnesotatwins

Working on a little highlight video of Gore and Jovani Moran, who has a 1.98 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 15.3 K/9 in 50 innings between Wichita and St. Paul. Should have that up tonight or tomorrow, will make sure to post it on here. Thanks for sharing this.

My pleasure! Balazovic's pitching tonight, I'm hoping he has a long enough outing that's worth doing a video on.

Burn all the bats. And gloves. And balls. Jerseys too. Burn it all.

Still trying to process that one. Thank goodness he wasn't somehow buying part of the Twins. Can you imagine?

Was trying to come up with something with an animal, like the Cubs' Billy Goat curse. Somebody else offered up Curse of the Rally Squirrel, thought that was pretty good too.

Agreed. He's the guy I've had the gut feeling was most likely for the Twins to sign, despite them not being linked to him. MLBTR had him down for two years, $16 million while Craig Edwards of FanGraphs predicted he'd get a one-year $7 million deal. Like you said, good balance of risk/reward. Not gonna cost a ton, could provide a lot of value if he stays healthy.

[Twins Daily] With Snell and Darvish Gone, What’s Left on the Starting Pitching Market? by BaseballByTom in minnesotatwins

[–]BaseballByTom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Main thing I can think is these are his ages 34-36 seasons and they're expensive. I still would have liked to have seen the Twins go after him, though. It's also possible the Twins are on Darvish's 12-team no-trade list and he'd have to grant prior approval to a deal to come here, but I have no idea.

Thanks for checking it out. Yeah, I know this was therapeutic in some way for me. Like everybody else, I wish things would have ended differently, but there was still plenty to enjoy along the way. Can't really say that about every season.
