MLB, Owners Trying to Expand Playoffs, Delay Season, (Apparently) Drive Away Fans

I used to be a mega-fan, commonly listened to nearly every game on the radio and - as is likely the case with most in the Twins Daily community - could name most minor leaguers and for sure every member of the active roster, including most of their stats. Despite that, last season I only watched/listened to parts of about 3 games. I just generally lost interest due to the shutdown teaching me I didn't really need sports, plus the Twins/baseball getting political, plus the rule changes. I still check in from time to time (hence my comment here) but I've gone from checking Twins Daily everyday (no pun intended) to once every few weeks. Get the game back to what it previously was and I might come back...

Kenta Maeda's Contract: Three Big Things
DutchFarmer replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
One positive byproduct of Maeda being a Twin is that hopefully it helps crack the door open for new Japanese talent to come here. I have no idea to what extent having a fellow countryman on a team would matter, but I would imagine it's a positive. There appear to be a healthy number of higher-end Japanese players coming to the states in the next year or two. https://www.fantasypros.com/2020/02/2020-mlb-top-international-prospects/- 16 replies

This was an extremely educational write-up. Well done.

Would like both of these a heck of a lot better if there were reasonably priced team options for 2021 attached. I suppose I'm happy in the sense that there appears to be reason for hope that these turn out to be bargains (even if the odds don't seem really high).

Completely agree.... though I must admit I'm very much looking forward to seeing the shiny new participation trophy sitting next to the 87 and 91 world championship trophies during my next visit to Target Field.

Or we take on the Ian Desmond contract along with Gray and give them just 1 or 2 of the 4. We then non-tender Cron.

He will be on the roster. 99% (1% is in case of injury) certain.

Do you think the Royals version of this site had their headline say something like, "Royals swept in an unfortunate Smeltzing accident."?

What should we be expecting from Ober in the future? I mean, does his stuff indicate a future of domination such as he's put up in the minors this year? I seem to recall a number of minor league pitchers who fizzled out (I believe Scott Diamond was one of them?) despite killing it against lesser competition.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I'm totally cool if they do nothing.

I love that we have a player with 4 first names (Willy Joe Garry Junior). It's a battle between him and Badoo for best name in the system, IMHO.

Yeah, you're likely right. Though, to be fair, due to pro-ration it would be a lot less. Additionally, I'm guessing Strasburg opts out this offseason, so the future allotment would also be a lot less. With that being said, it was just a pie-in-the-sky thought...
