Hughes would have received $500K if he pitched 210 innings this season. He was on the bump with 209 2/3 innings when today's game was hit with a 66 minute rain delay. Atleast he got the win.

Think the club gives him some dough as a nice gesture or are they not allowed to do such a thing?

I suspect the Twins will give him most, if not all of the bonus. Would make them a ton of good pub.

I would roll him back out there for the last game just for an out.

Hughes also broke the record for strikeout/walk ratio in a season, I'm pretty sure.

He walked 16 guys all year. And had 16 wins.

He should have not pitched like garbage in April and got an extra inning or two in early on.
