He's played 22 seasons.
Everybody is treating this as his last.
The thing is, Dirk is finally healthy again. His ankle surgery was a huge success this spring. His team is good and the rookie Luka Donic is playing great, as is Kristaps Porzingas.
What's that mean? Nowitzki is seriously thinking about ANOTHER season.
I say go for it.
Show the young people that it's not all about money.
And grab some more rebounds while you're at it!

Rocco Baldelli
I doubt most Minnesotans know who this man is.
He's the new Twins' manager. The first thing he's trying to do this spring is find a lead-off hitter. All three of last year's guys, Grossman, Dozier, and Mauer are gone.
Everybody thinks that Byron Buxton should have the job, BUT Baldelli is smart enough to know that Buxton has the worst on-base percentage of anyone in the game's history. (Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea.)
Right now, he's trying Kepler, the Twins recently resigned multi-millionaire.
Zack Granite WOULD have been a good choice, but he's been reassigned to Triple A to make room for Marwin Gonzalez, who we DID sign. He'll probably be the Twins 4th outfielder when he's not playing infield.
The Twins are a puzzle with most of the pieces still missing. Let's hope Rocco can make the pieces fit, otherwise it's going to be another really long season.

Bryce Harper
Harper was offered a 10-year $300 million deal with his old team the Phillies at the end of last season. He turned them down, thinking much more was waiting him in free agency.
So far, nope.
Sources say Phillie and a few other teams are still pursuing him at about the same figure he was offered last fall.
The Dodgers now say they want him, too, BUT want to sign him to a short-term deal.
It would be foolish of Harper to do that, in case of injury, but right now there is no GREAT deal awaiting him either.
Free agency has changed, and NOT in the players favor.

Marwin Gonzalez
Free agent rumblings SEEM to indicate the Twins are serious about this guy.
He's not a great player, but the did lead the Astros in RBI two years ago when they won the World Series. He doesn't have a regular position but the Astros got him 500 at-bats a year the last three years.
He's a switch hitter and a good infielder. He's the kind of guy who will give the Twins line-up some depth.
Nothing definite yet, but if you hear the Twins signed him, at least you'll know who he is.
