    Haha. I knew what you meant. Was just looking at it from another angle. The Ks are actually more expensive than that. ?
  2. bap3141
    Worse than that, try $44,000 to $55,000 for every strikeout.

    No offense, but why should I? This is the sort of mentality that enables the Twins ownership and front office to throw out a mediocre or bad product most years. I've been where you're at for too long and I'm done with it. No longer suckered into caring more about the team than the owners do. I work too hard for my money to be a donor every year.

    Same here.

    Used to be a high strikeout and low batting average guy that could get on base. Now he's just so bad that he's not even a reaonable OBP guy. Just a guy that swings for the fences and strikes out 40% of the time. Just another Miguel Sano. Boooooooooooooo! Smelly offseason just keeps getting worse.

    At least I have my fantasy baseball team to get me through. There is that. Seriously though... have you all ever reached a point where you simply don't like anything about your favorite team? What do you do?

    I remember after some lean years in the 90's, Selig was looking for a team to contract and it was almost the Twins. That nearly gutted me. This feels worse. Why would I pay one cent for this product?

    What to do when your team has become a team you don't like anymore. It's sad but my fandom has been strerched too far... strained and frayed and I think it's time to let it give way. I've been a fan since my first Twins game, back in 1988. The '87 team made me a fan of baseball and by '91 I was old enough to really appreciate the World Series. I've thought this for several years now, but this offseason has solidified it... that was likely the last World Series winning Twins team that I will ever see. Sports is cyclical I told myself, but the economics of the game and the Twins penny pinching means that the odds are incredibly stacked against them every season. And I realize now that I don't like this team. I hate the manager, I don't like how the front office operates and I can't stand the miserly Pohlads. I even hate the new unis, logo and stupid little re-brand. I have no idea where this leaves me now because I love baseball, but can't stomach the current Twins product. Any of it.

    This has to be one of the dumbest things I think I've ever read.
  10. bap3141
    And so will many of the fans, sadly.
  11. bap3141
    My thoughts precisely. The notion that the Front Office can don't more than one thing at once is laughable. The implication would be that they are the most incompetent front office in sports history. Pure nonsense. My follow up would be, which free agents did the Twins miss out on? Xander as Plan B? Sure... but he signed before Correa.

    It's not the years, it's the dollars. Assuming all things being equal in Carlos' mind, $351 would have done it and it could have been 10 years or 15 years. 13 years is a large number, but is only relevant in that it brings down the AAV -- which theoretically, would be more dollars for the Giants to spend within their budget. The difference between $285 and $350 is rather substantial and I'm surprised at just how far apart they were, given every thing we heard.

    ?? ... okay?
  15. bap3141
    Agreed on Farmer and Lewis. We'll see on the "rebuild"...
  16. bap3141
    Meh...
  17. bap3141
    This is what I've been thinking for a while too. Oddly, I wouldn't be surprised. I know I should be, but I wouldn't be.
  18. bap3141
    Cubs in. Cubs out. Cubs maybe. Dodgers maybe. Dodgers out. Yankees out. Yankees maybe. Padres maybe. Padres out. Giants in. Not signed yet. Twins in. Not signed yet. Now Mets? I also recall early speculation with the Cardinals, Phillies, Red Sox, and Orioles. And, forgive me if I'm wrong because my head may be spinning from all the Correa rumors, but I think I even heard that the Mariners were interested at one point. The list might be shorter of who was not mentioned to be in on Correa by the time he signs. Yet, he's still unsigned.
  19. bap3141
    I don't put any stock into anonymous sources. Especially when they're so anonymous as to be potentially no more reputable than a random DM on Twitter, published by a reporter to get clicks. Sorry but if you can't even cite "someone close to the Twins/Giants/his agent/Rodon", etc. then I just assume you're blowing smoke to get noticed.
  20. bap3141
    Yes, some of them would be reclamation projects -- as I stated. However, there are some solid options in the list of players that I provided... Nothing wrong with Benintendi, Mancini, and Eovaldi, for example. Why don't you tell us who you like or do you think this Twins team should stick with what it has already?
  21. bap3141
    What do you mean by "needle movers"? Guys like Rodon, and Correa? There are only a handful of those guys in any free agent class. Many of these guys would be upgrades on open roster spots and worth taking a flier on.
  22. bap3141
    Downgrades to who?
  23. bap3141
    Trades? Sure. But there are lots of players left that I'd consider signing that can help this team and won't cost a ton: Andrew Benintendi, Corey Kluber, J.D. Martinez, Tommy Pham, Nathan Eovaldi (reunite with Vasquez), Michael Brantley, Adam Ottavino, Brandon Belt, Jurickson Profar, Yuli Gurriel, Elvis Andrus, Andrew McCutchen, Adam Duvall. Tyler Naquin, Taylor Rogers, Trey Mancini, Michael Fulmer, Aroldis Chapman. A solid mix of former stars, good to very good current players and potential reclamation projects.
  24. bap3141
    Even if they just get a prospect for Max, that's what like 8 or 9M off the books? That can be used elsewhere. Personally, I'd rather keep Kepler though. Don't like selling low on a solid-to-good everyday player.
  25. bap3141
    A good get at a reasonable price. A catcher that doesn't hurt you on offense, calls a good game, plays great defense and has post season experience Good signing.
