| | | MINNESOTA: 2017: 85-77, second place, lost to Yankees in wild-card game.
MANAGER: Paul Molitor (fourth season).
ADDITIONS: RHP Lance Lynn, RHP Jake Odorizzi, DH-1B Logan Morrison, RHP Fernando Rodney, RHP Addison Reed, LHP Zach Duke, SS-3B Erick Aybar, RHP Michael Pineda.
SUBTRACTIONS: RHP Matt Belisle, RHP Bartolo Colon, C Chris Gimenez, DH-1B Kennys Vargas, LHP Hector Santiago, LHP Glen Perkins, LHP Buddy Boshers, RHP Michael Tonkin.
OUTLOOK: After their massive 26-win turnaround last season, earning Molitor the AL Manager of the Year award and a new contract through the 2020 season, the Twins were already on the upswing with their 25-and-under core of Berrios, Buxton, Sano, Rosario and Kepler. Then, after spring training began, they traded for Odorizzi and signed Morrison and Lynn, all at market-bargain prices. They've already had some setbacks, with finger surgery for Santana expected to keep him out for most or all of April, and the gut-punch news of Polanco's suspension, plus the uncertainty that surrounds Sano. But this is a team, even with the bold offseason moves made by AL heavyweights Boston and New York, and the strength of reigning AL Central champion Cleveland, that has the talent and spunk to be right in the playoff mix. With Hughes and Tyler Duffey on track for long-relief roles and a spate of well-regarded prospects set to fill out the rotation at Triple-A Rochester, this is as much starting pitching depth as the Twins have had in years. After using 16 different starters in 2017, they needed that. Rodney, Reed and Duke were important additions to bolster the bullpen, too, after Minnesota relievers ranked 22nd in the majors with a collective 4.40 ERA. | | SEATTLE: 2017: 78-84, tied for third place.
MANAGER: Scott Servais (third season).
ADDITIONS: CF Dee Gordon, 1B Ryon Healy, RHP Juan Nicasio, INF-OF Andrew Romine, OF Ichiro Suzuki, LHP Dario Alvarez.
SUBTRACTIONS: 1B Yonder Alonso, OF Jarrod Dyson, LHP Drew Smyly, 1B Danny Valencia, C Carlos Ruiz, RHP Yovani Gallardo, RHP Emilio Pagan.
OUTLOOK: The Mariners' odd place in the AL was only amplified by what happened to them in spring training. Injuries illustrated the slim margin they have if they plan to contend for a playoff spot. They're talented enough to compete for a wild card, but probably not good enough to catch the Astros in the division. Pitching will be the key. Seattle used a major league-record 40 pitchers last year and would like to avoid a repeat performance. The bullpen has promise, putting pressure on the rotation to stabilize and get deep enough into games. Right-handed reliever David Phelps needs Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire season, though. Offensively, the top of the lineup has a chance to be potent with the addition of a speedster in Gordon. Healy missed most of spring training after hand surgery, but if he's productive Seattle could end up fielding its deepest lineup in years. That might be necessary with all the pitching questions. |
| | Twins' Sano accepts 1B challenge against Mariners
Who's on first? For the Minnesota Twins, the answer for the past two days has been Miguel Sano. The All-Star third baseman returned from nearly a month on the disabled list (left hamstring strain) Friday night in Seattle and found himself penciled into the lineup at first base for only the second time this season and the 13th time in his career. He was back at first Saturday as the Twins faced a left-handed starter for the second consecutive night. "I think there's been enough work there between spring training and different times when we've had him out there doing work that he knows the position," said Twins manager Paul Molitor, who also noted Sano played some first while on a minor league rehabilitation assignment. "It's a little bit different being across the diamond from where he normally plays. When he came back here, I didn't want to worry about his leg being a factor. I want him ready to play day in and day out. As it turned out, because of other circumstances, first base is going to have to be an option right now." Those other circumstances include Joe Mauer being on the disabled list with a cervical strain. Sano, who had offseason surgery on his left leg after fouling a ball off his shin late last season, didn't seem concerned about the move. "Yeah, I worked on first base in spring training. I played a couple of games already at first base," Sano said. "It's good to come back to my team and help out my team, do my job up here." As for the future? "I don't have any set plans for how it's going to go, but (Sano) can handle the position at least adequately," Molitor said. "I know he can catch a grounder. I know he's got good footwork around the bag. He likes new challenges, he's motivated by doing something a little bit different. We'll see how it goes." Most importantly for the Twins, they get Sano's bat back in the lineup. Sano batted .264 with 28 home runs and 78 RBIs last season when he made the American League's All-Star team. "It's a nice piece to have," Molitor said. "Our offense has been battling, but our run production hasn't been very consistent. I like to think he's coming back refreshed and ready to make an impact." Sunday's series finale will feature Twins right-hander Jose Berrios (5-4, 3.82 ERA) against Mariners right-hander Mike Leake (4-3, 5.46). Berrios is 1-1 with a 4.97 ERA in two previous starts against Seattle. He took the loss April 7 at Target Field, allowing five runs on six hits in 4 2/3 innings of an 11-4 defeat in which Leake allowed two runs on three hits in five innings. That gave Leake a 1-0 record and 5.82 ERA in three career starts against Minnesota. The Mariners expect reliever Alex Colome will be available Sunday after being acquired, along with outfielder Denard Span, in a trade Friday afternoon with Tampa Bay for a pair of minor league pitchers. Span isn't expected to join the club until Monday. "Denard is from Tampa," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "His family and everybody is down there. It's about as far as you can go from Tampa up here to Seattle. We're looking forward to getting him here, and he'll be a great addition to our team. Our players are excited about adding those two guys. When they get here, we'll plug them right in." |
