#mntwins and #Orioles are only AL teams without a potential non-tender this Friday, per @mlbtraderumors. This jibes with what I'm hearing about #mntwins arb class of Gibson, Escobar, Grossman, Pressly, Adrianza and May.
— Mike Berardino (@MikeBerardino) November 28, 2017
RHP Kyle Gibson, who turned 30 last month, tops #mntwins arb projections at $5.3 million (per @mlbtraderumors) despite back-to-back 5.07 ERAs and career 88 ERA+.and 6.2 K/9.
"He frustrates the hell out of you," rival scout says, "but they need starting pitching depth."

Finally, after all these years, @TwinsGeek has asked me for "candid feedback." I've been keeping a list this whole time, but I guess I'll start with his article. pic.twitter.com/dZUaIWX50j

I'm going to treat this "candid feedback" request like an intervention.
1. Stop saying "paradigm" on the podcast.
2. Stop chewing close to the microphone.
3. Stop being so nice to people and assuming the best in everyone.
4. Laugh more at my amazing jokes.— Aaron Gleeman (@AaronGleeman) November 28, 2017
