Twins asked closer if he wanted out

I doubt they used the word "dude".

They were cooking up a deal. They just couldn't deal Nathan without his consent.

cooking up some Nathans?

Dude, I defer!!

They were actually asking if Nathan would off himself and save them some money.

Getting a deal on the table in the last couple of minutes before the dealine and then, oh yeah, Nathan has a 10/5 clause we better ask him if he'll accept a trade. What the hell is that?

The Twins need a new stadium financed by the public. That will cure all their ills.

Right, because the one they're playing in is so old...........(rolls eyes)

The Twins should keep Nathan and fire GM Bill Smith ASAP. The guy is a joke and has taken a franchise once known for developing talent straight into the gutter.

Hard to maintain what the Twins have done, trade their stars for baskets of premium prospects, when other teams are more and more not willing to trade these top tier prospects.
they have a reputation for developing their own talent, with a little help from baskets of prospects.

and they need to sign the New M&M boys to big long term contracts, that should solve everything.

Couple problems with that.
1)Mauer already has a long term contract.

2) Morneau hasnt gotten over his concussion he had 14 months ago & is a shell of his former self.

What we need is a power righty, and a true ace. Liriano isnt it.

I don't think he wanted to leave

A good agent would have prepared Nathan for that question a week before it came.

McCourt has taken the heart and soul out of the Dodgers. No one cares about a team that doesn't care about itself.

in other words the twins told their closer take a hike!!

if nathan expects a deal from the twins best thing for him its to sign this deal but in ice!!
