Add for Pen

Post by Goldfan »

“Matt Bowman was given his release by Twins, likely due to 40-man issues. Bowman posted a 1.69 ERA with 25 strikeouts and 6 walks in 21.1 innings while inducing groundballs at a 54.5% rate with AAA St. Paul. MLB deal elsewhere probably awaits.”

I just saw this on another site (Viva El Birdos). It's an interesting option. Bruihl has been better of late, in miniscule sample size of 3.2 IP, but I'm fine either way. I wonder what Bowman's velocity has been in AAA, it has been steadily going down the last few years.

That's a "Mo move" going back to another former (failed) Cardinal.

35 yrs old in a few days.......6.20 ERA in 2025/1.50 WHiP.

When did Mo do something that would resemble signing Bowman to a minor league deal?

Bowman was such a critical piece here, I didn't even remember him. Had to look him up. He's 34 and has a 6.20 ERA. :roll:

I agree with Rock. Let's move forward not back.

The guy we should look at is Max Rajcic.

Signing Bowman to a minor league deal would be merely bringing vet talent in to see if they can help today.

It’s not like bringing Bowman in means the org is trying to rekindle 2018.

If he's cheap enough, I guess it wouldn't hurt. But I'd be surprised if he got here and made a significant difference.

I'm stoked to see more of the team's young players: Crooks, Jordan, Brycen Mautz, Hunter Dobbins, etc..

It would be fine if this team makes the playoff, but I want the organization to be laser focused on the kids coming up.

I do too. But I think in all rebuilds, you have to have some vets on the pitching staff.
