These are 2019 numbers - so depending on whose contracts are expiring they'll change some - but, they've got the cash and space if the right deal(s) come along.

Twins Luxury Tax Payroll 2019 Tax Threshold $206,000,000 40-Man Tax Payroll: $117,089,337 Est. Benefits: $14,500,000 Est. Minor Salaries: - Total Tax Allocations $131,589,337 Est. Tax Space $74,410,663 Est. Tax Bill $0 I didnt ask if they were under the luxury tax. Is ownership willing to add significant payroll in the offseason?

Is ownership willing to add significant payroll in the offseason? Actually, what you asked was: "Do they have the money to buy in free agency?" I provided you their current payroll details - which indicates, they have money to spend. As for your latest question: "Is ownership willing to add significant payroll in the offseason?" They currently have the 18th ranked payroll which is about 11M below the league average, so big spenders they're not and it's anybodies guess what they'll do in the offseason - but according to Twins fan @vikesfan89 : "I don't think they'll be out front on the bidding but I'm sure they'll be working on getting another couple decent starters" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly haven't paid much attention to the money that are willing to spend but Mauers contract coming off the books helped. There owners generally spend up to a percentage of the revenue. The nice thing is that the lineup should be set for next season. They'll need to sign someone as Berrios might be the only established starter coming back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS22 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Gerrit Cole should receive a top 3 largest SP contract ever this offseason. Some team is going to be incredibly happy to have him, unbelievable pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, money's an issue with the Twins as well. So that will be a factor on pitchers going to that team through free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Just watched Aaron Judges HR from batting practice... That was ridiculous. Went above the cat walk and hit the banner in the rafters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Montas back tonight. I’m not expecting PED Montas or for him to be part of the playoff rotation but he should be able to help us with a crucial victory needed against the Angels.

Livewire Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I really hate being a Pirates fan. Absolutely no hope for the future. The status quo will remain. To say I despise Bob Nutting is an understatement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Come on Yankees... get the #1 seed! Amazing team but I do not want to play the Astros in the Division Series if we ended up making it that far. Verlander, Cole, Greinke in 4 outta 5 games is a death sentence. Astros are not losing in the division round, they could be playing the 75 Reds or 98 Yankees, they are not losin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
