  1. I was thinking this too. I knew he had visa issues in spring training. Was that why he was on the restricted list? Or did I miss something during all of this?
  2. If the Twins are interested in Ray and Bradley from Arizona, what do you think it would take to get them? What if the Twins, dare I say, take on some of Tomas too? Doesnt he have like 1 yr, $17 million left? Not that I would want them to do that but they get creative like that to lessen the prospects.
  3. I would like them to make a big splash and get 1 or two of these... (Yates, Vazquez, Syndergaard, Giles, Madbum, Smith, Greinke). But, I know better than that. My gut tells me that they will make one more trade for the likes of one of these guys (Hudson, Bradley, Dyson, Kennedy, Elias). I would be a little shocked if they did nothing else.
  4. I know a year or two ago the Atlanta Falcons lowered all of their concession prices. I don't have the exact dollar amounts but a hot dog was roughly $3 and beers were $5. I havent seen anything if they had a boost in revenue from that or not. It would be interesting to see some data on that.
  5. I know he has draft pick compensation tied to him but isn't there a dollar limit he has to sign for? I thought I remember seeing that last year someone (possibly Chatwood) could have signed for something like $48 million and the signing team didn't have to give up as high of a pick? Maybe I am not remembering that right.
  6. Is there an "ideal" timeframe to go with kids (ages 9 and 6)? By that I mean, is it better to go early in spring training? Or later on? We were debating going next year for roughly a week. I just would like to get the kids the best accessibility to players and autographs.
  7. MLB Trade rumors said it will cover 7 seasons. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/02/twins-extend-jorge-polanco.html
  8. I would love to see him as the 5th starter this year. If he isn't the 5th starter, he needs to be in the bullpen and not in AAA. It was mentioned before that the Cardinals do this with their young arms. I would like to see Romero learn to pitch and get batters out at this level in either role. To me, AAA is not an option for him.
  9. This!!! I am not for or against an extension at this point. I can argue for an against both side. What I would really like to see is a full healthy year before I make a decision. Yes, I know that could be a costly decision but I dont see him signing an extension right now with his value low. I would bet he bets on himself.
  10. Correct me if I am wrong but don't they have Pollock as a FA this year and Goldschmidt next year and Peralta is going to get a nice raise in arbitration and will be a FA soon. Isnt Greinke due something like 35 million each of the next three years? I could see Arizona wanting to get out of that salary to pay their other guys.
  11. Pretty close. Add some old school Nintendo in there too. I was pretty salty.
  12. So do we just email our resumes to the Twins or how does that work? Asking for a friend.
  13. That is true but coming into the season they also had Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, and Aaron Hicks along with guys they weren't going to just walk because they were paying them too much in Jacoby Ellsbury, and Brett Gardner and one of their top prospects Clint Frazier. They didn't have a lot of room for Cave either. A week into the season or whenever the injury bug hit them, they could have used Cave.
