Obviously, hard for me to check with #MNTWins re: Byung-Ho Park's contract status from here in Seoul. According to KBO's Nexen Heroes, Park asked the Twins to release him from the remainder of his deal and the Twins agreed to do just that.

Byungho Park hit .191/.275/.412 in 62 games for the Twins and .247/.305/.439 in 142 games at Triple-A. He had two years and $6.5 million left on his contract with the Twins, who no doubt encouraged him to return to Korea. https://t.co/NJyRJFOURk

Flexibility, Cash, Contention, Connections: Why the #MNTwins can offer everything Shohei Ohtani wants, and may rank among his most enticing suitors. New from @NickNelsonMN: https://t.co/IcWwk71Tbc

That's the reality of free agency… That's just what happens when you sign free agents (most are 30+ already). https://t.co/nAbME5dg2Z
— Seth Stohs (@SethTweets) November 27, 2017
There isn't… I want to say the longest MLB deal was probably 10 years (Jeter, Pujols, A-Rod, I think). https://t.co/0eRFewqikS
— Seth Stohs (@SethTweets) November 27, 2017
They may, but remember that the #MNTwins core will also start getting really expensive in 3 years too. But yes, they could be creative, like signing bonuses, or front-loading. https://t.co/kIV9AW25Go
— Seth Stohs (@SethTweets) November 27, 2017
Note that all four of these pitchers would make the #MNTwins better, so I'm completely fine with signing any of them. I just feel like anything over the below would be an overpay (in my opinion). Overpaying is what is done when signing free agents though. https://t.co/c6uh3azVoD
— Seth Stohs (@SethTweets) November 27, 2017
I'd feel comfortable with the #MNTwins going to the following years/dollars:
Darvish: 5 years, $130M ($26M/yr)
Arrieta: 3 years, $36M ($12M/yr)
Lynn: 4 years, $60M ($15M/yr)
Cobb: 4 years, $60M ($15M/yr)
They may (and probably will) get more than that, and that's fine. https://t.co/iBz1PjQWvh— Seth Stohs (@SethTweets) November 27, 2017
Personal Opinion:
Yu Darvish is an Ace.
Jake Arrieta probably more of a #2.
Lance Lynn and Alex Cobb are maybe 3-starters.
The four are being lumped together often and talked about as if they're all aces… They're not.— Seth Stohs (@SethTweets) November 27, 2017
