I’m not sure where he could latch on that would be a better position for him than the one he’d be in here, although I’m sure he won’t have a problem signing on somewhere.

Depending on how long he stays on the market and what the Twins end up doing at third base, he could be back. But I’d give it less than a 20% chance.

Are we right up against the 40-man, to the point where we have to drop Buscher to sign a free agent? I think we can find better options, just wondering why the move was made so quickly.

They don’t need to open room on the 40-man until the GM meetings, a couple of weeks after the Series.

When do players declare free agency? When that happens, the Twins immediately go down to 2 open places, even after adding Boof and Neshek abck into the mix.

Granted, Buscher is a given.

Good luck to Brian. He might stay with the Twins considering they did give him a break…but other organizations could still offer him the same, an AAAA job with potential call-up in times of deep trouble.
