Twins talks w/ Correa have "begun to accelerate"???
this one will come back to bit the Twins going forward.....we just cannot have bad contracts that go years into the future.....He's a good player but not a franchise player........

Again? The Twins Lose Carlos Correa to the Mets.
rather than a salary cap/mlb needs a minimum threshhold for teams to get a share of the Lux Tax payments.....make the lower teams spend up to a level.....to get free money!!

The Joey Gallo signing makes sense, actually
Didn't like this signing..too much money for an average player...rather keep Kepler.....as bad as than has been....Probably won't be competing this year, lucky to sniff .500 ball........

Why Would the Twins Pay Anyone but Carlos Correa?
would be a huge mistake to lock up Correa to a long term (more than 5 years).....if he wants a shorter higher Ave....I'm ok with that....this team cannot handcuff itself with these long term deals....so few work out..... Where is he going to get the $'s which big money teams need a SS? Don't bid against yourself..... Let him walk and spend the dollars on the mound......

What To Do With Gio Urshela?
if it's a decision of him or Miranda (at min salary) to get playing time....go w Miranda...put the 10million into the pitching staff.......like Gio, wasn't sold on him early...but had a good year..... Guys whose bats need to be in the lineup everyday: Miranda, Aarez, Kirloff, Gordon as Super Utility.......also depends what they do at Short.....
-
Correa for Soto???
No way the Twins can get into that kind of contract...and if they didn't extend Soto, no way they get a large haul for him as a rental.....might recoup some..... Bigger issue no way they should extent Correa, have said all along the way the Twins win on this deal is if it is for one year and he opts out and goes somewhere else.....means he had a good year....no way he is worth 30mil/...above average ballplayer but not a superstar.....spend the payroll across a couple of pitchers......

Sano Situation
I would be open to trading Urshela.....hasn't been what we thought we were getting....if you can get something for him I would....he won't be here next year.....so get something now and free up the roster spot.... Sano needs to adjust, no one will take his contract so let it run out and use him as a DH and PH the rest of the year....but would get all existing players in the lineup in front of him.

Byron Buxton is the best center fielder on the planet
he needs to hit better than .218.......if he can get it to .275 then you can have that discussion........but good d, some pop in his bat.....but struggles to get on base....

How do you solve a problem like Correa?
First, editing on the article is horrible!! Next, I have said all along the shorter the Correa contract is for the Twins the better...good player, good guy.....but not 30+ Million worth of value to this team. I would ask him what he wants, being known as an organization that is player friendly, especially top players can only help. If he stays this season and we make the playoffs and give the guys some experience...that's a plus....let him opt out and leave...we had nothing in to get him., so letting him walk is no long term cost. If he wants to leave, find the best place that is agreeable....get as much as you can...and save the remaining $s on this year....

Twins Trade Deadline 2022: Buy or Sell?
This team as currently constructed cannot win the WS....they can be a competitive team but will be an early exit from the playoffs.....So I would be open to trading anyone you get value for......until we can get some home grown stud pitchers, since we won't go get one on the open Market...we need to keep kicking it down the road....if you get value for anyone you trade add young talent and see if it can develop.....pitching, pitching....pitching.......

So, now how many wins?
I was hoping for a .500 season....with the start...thinking now over .500 by a few games.....85-86 wins.....other good point is the division is a hot mess...White Sox cannot play defense...DT and KC..yuk.....and the Indians (always will be) under .500.....so some easy wins there.... Sano gone for a few months will help....but it all comes down to pitching.

The Next Twins Prospect Promotion
we have to all hope Correa opts out for a long term contract....that means he was healthy and had a good year.....same spot as I have been with this contract all along....best for the twins if this is only a 1 year deal....the longer it goes..means he has underperformed...and we are stuck with an asset that isn't worth what he is being paid.
