Dodgers add Snell, we add 37 year old Caleb Thielbar. Love acting like a small market team
I like it. He’s been very solid up until last year, hopefully something in there that we can fix.
Torn, do I go with “Jed got his guy” or “World Series here we come” as if nobody has ever thought of it for a minor signing
I’d rather they do this than throw $16M at a reliever tbh.
Get a Legit Starter instead
Another “eh, let’s see what he can do” type signing. I can’t really gauge how I feel until we see how he does.
This is definitely one of the signings of the offseason.
Guess he’s raising “Thielbar” of the bullpen.
I mean his WAR has been locked in at 0-1 his whole career. And his velo isn’t down.
Alozay/Cuas/Smyly threw for 80 innings last year for negative war. A backend arm who isn’t a net negative is alright I guess.
This on top of a move like Scott and now we’re cooking
Twins fan here, can answer any questions about theilbar
Fucking Cubs……..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would’ve preferred AJ Minter in this role, but maybe Thielbar can regain some of of his old form
how about we sign a good proven reliever. just an idea
Looks like another guy Hoyer hopes will outperform his projections.
This is the best we can get lol
>Chicago is the seventh different MLB team Thielbar has joined since his pro career began as an 18th round pick for the Brewers in the 2009 draft.
>Despite this journeyman resume, all of Thielbar’s 320 big league innings over eight seasons have come with the Twins, in two separate stints from 2013-2015 and then 2020-2024.
>That second stretch with Minnesota revived Thielbar’s career entirely, as he had taken on a college coaching job following the 2019 season before he was lured back with another minor league deal from the Twins.
So 7 MLB organizations but never even recorded an inning for 6 of them. All Twins since 2013. 8 seasons in 11 years. Crazy career, never seen anything like this before.
You want Tanner Scott? We have Tanner Scott at home.
