The wild thing are the Marlins are literally the only team in baseball who has spent $0 on a free agent this year.  Imagine being outspend by the 121 loss White Sox.

Have the Twins spent any money this offseason?

They need some veteran SP to eat innings. The young guys will get plenty of innings anyway.

I guess I'd rather just roll with the young guys, or sign someone better that might actually have trade value.  Just another guy that best case scenario we're getting someone else's junk.  But at $3.5M + $1.5M buyout, its whatever.

Yeah, they're kind of failing at this.

I also just don't like filling the roster with mid-30s fluff that isn't going to return much, not because they couldn't be useful, but because they take super valuable 40 man spots.  If there is one advantage the Sox have over the league is their spot on the waiver order.  Tough to take advantage of that if your 40 man is full of dudes you've recently acquired and prospects.

I just looked at the Sox 40 man because I was/am sure there are plenty of guys you can DFA, and was shocked at how many guys I've straight up never heard of, some that actually got time with the Sox last year. 

Fraser Ellard? 

Prelander Berrora?

Ron Marinaccio? 

Gus Varland? 

Man, it's a rough list lol
