The Twins take a flier on Michael Pineda as he recovers from Tommy John surgery:
The move made Wednesday by the Twins during baseball’s winter meetings was more for 2019, when Pineda will earn $8 million. He’ll get $2 million for the 2018 season, which he’ll likely miss while continuing the rehab following elbow ligament replacement.
Pineda’s procedure was performed July 18. The typical timetable for Tommy John patients to return to the mound is between 12 and 18 months.
If Pineda recovers quickly, this could be a great move for the Twins. If they are in contention again next season, getting Pineda for the stretch drive and/or the playoffs could give the team a nice boost late.
