Maybe It’s Just Me: The Bill Smith Inactivity Edition
Maybe it’s just me, but I might hate Bill Smith. I’m not much for hating, but come on, it’s mid-January and all Smith has accomplished this offseason is trading for J.J. Hardy. Now that move was—admittedly—an impressive exploit by Smith … Continue reading
Joe Mauer Tops Minnesota Twins All-Decade Team
As the first decade of the 2000s comes to a close, it seems like a fine time for a little reflection. The Twins have arguably been one of baseball’s best franchises during the past decade. Largely under the watch of … Continue reading
Juan Pierre Traded to the Chicago White Sox
Juan Pierre is a free man. After two long seasons, Pierre’s stint as baseball’s best fourth outfielder is presumably over. The Chicago White Sox have reportedly acquired the slap-hitting sensation from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for two minor … Continue reading
Minnesota Twins: Non-Tenders Provide New Free Agent Targets
Minnesota Twins general manager Bill Smith just got a reprieve. After sitting idly by and watching a number of the club’s offseason targets sign elsewhere in the past two weeks, Smith now has a second chance at making some major … Continue reading

Carl Pavano Receives Arbitration Offer from Minnesota
The Twins have reportedly offered Carl Pavano arbitration. Minnesota had until Tuesday’s 11 p.m. deadline to offer the right hander arbitration for next season, but chose to do so early. The decision makes sense as Pavano qualifies as a Type … Continue reading
