    Another "head scratcher" for me. A 35 year old utility infielder is a lock to make the roster? Hmmmm.

    I thought the Twins didn't have a signed deal to even be on Bally if they don't go bankrupt? It is going to be an interesting few weeks before the season starts. I'll "watch" the Twins on AM radio or on my MLB Gameday Audio app. I see they raised the price of that from $20 to $30. Inflation everywhere. :-(

    I attended this event. I am hoping Gordon makes the team in the utility role as he can play infield and outfield. They were good sports and I'm sure it is not easy doing these events with everything up in the air.

    I like Max Kepler. At $8.5M he seems like a relative bargain. It will be very interesting how it works out. Injuries are the X factor. We likely need any and all of the OF'ers to play 162 games. Not Cal Ripken like at all. Different kind of player and game.

    I like Arraez's batting approach. But, he doesn't have a position. 1B just doesn't seem right. I am OK with trading him in a bundle for the right player. Whoever that is.

    No Bally SN would really stink for 2023. Especially out-staters. What would Dick Bremer and Justin Morneau do?
  7. bloomwcjkl
    At $8.5 I'd 100% keep Max Kepler. With the shift gone for 2023, that should help some. Gallo, Buxton, Kepler. We would need all the other outfielders for injury times, which I assume will be significant.

    Maybe some "Minnesota Nice" would do Trevor some good. Be nice, be kind and don't be not nice.
  9. bloomwcjkl
    If he wants to be here and can play 140-150 games per season, then it doesn't matter "how". Piranha's 3.0 (or is it 2.0?)

    At some point Carlos will be "too slow" for SS. Then a move to 2B or 1B will come. Hopefully 3-4 years at least. I like CC, but I wish he was 25 instead of 29. Thinking about 25 year old Mauer vs 34 year old Mauer. Time does no good most of the time. Can Royce be a 2B? Can Brooks be a 2B? Seems like trading 1 of the 3 for pitching would help in the long run.

    I also saw Oliver Ortega didn't last long.
  12. bloomwcjkl
    A lot of coin, but I'm sure most will be happy. I hope he doesn't have a bum leg. :-) I guess we can trade our SS prospects.
  13. bloomwcjkl
    So the Twins should be willing to ignore the medical issues that blocked the Giants and Mets from signing Correa? Hmmmm. How about he plays out years 2,3 of his contract and we see if he can still play at a high level at 31? Only the Twins would willingly walk into 3-5 years of dead money.
  14. bloomwcjkl
    How about a 1 year deal for, oh say, $30 million. $5 million discount for a bum ankle/leg. :-) I still think we could spend $30 million in more productive ways.

    3 Twins and 2 Vikings. A Twins World Series win in today's market would be fun. A Vikings Super Bowl win would be something great to see. Wild playoff hockey is fun, but just can't get into hockey. Timberwolves. I won't even start with the NBA. I miss the late 70s and 80s NBA.
  16. bloomwcjkl
    15 more wins and 15 less losses would be a division winning team. I think Pagan lost 10 games by himself last year, but that may just have been how it felt in those late inning blow ups. No matter what, I'm looking forward to 2023 baseball.

    The Twins "World Weries" is competing for the division title. A playoff win would be a bonus. I just like having it on the radio and TV. It means spring/summer and fall. Much the same as the Vikings winning the division is their "Super Bowl". The farther away from the 2 World Series wins we are, the more amazing/improbable they were. It has been 30 years, but we are still living off those wins. I am hoping for a better than expected season with a lower than expected salary pool. Miracles do happen. If not, it is still better than not having baseball on.

    In a "hot" market you waive all contingencies! No inspection. (I guess that is housing, not beisbol) Maybe a 20 year contract for 50% ownership would seal the deal. :-) :-( Time to move on for me.
  19. bloomwcjkl
    We need to sign the next Pete Redfern.
  20. bloomwcjkl
    And one of the top SS is going to be a 3B player. Oh the angst and gnashing of teeth. I'm still fine with missing out on spending $300 million+ on a single player.
  21. bloomwcjkl
    Maybe the Twins really dodged a bullet.
  22. bloomwcjkl
    I like the lineup with Gordon in there somewhere most days. Good speed. His bat showed some promise and he doesn't cost $35 million. Piranha.
  23. bloomwcjkl
    Funny how Lewis was called up (ready enough) and then had to play OF because we spent $35 million on Correa. Maybe he still tears his ACL playing SS, but just interesting how the cookie crumbles sometimes. Adrianza played solid defense and didn't hit much worse than Correa.
  24. bloomwcjkl
    Fal-vine were supposed to build starting pitching from within. That hasn't happened. Not sure what will happen.
  25. bloomwcjkl
    I'd rather give Taylor Rogers $11 million over 2 years. I know Rogers won't sign for $5.5 million. I'm sure we are not done with head scratching moves.
