    I hope so as well. He's a tremendous talent the twins need him desperately.

    I wouldn't be opposed to offering him a minor league contract but it would have to be structured very carefully with clear goals and expectations. If he wants to toil away in the minors for a few more years (he's 29/30) that's fine, but he needs to do some real soul searching and strictly discipline himself if he ever wants to get back to the majors. He has the raw talent, but his inability to grow as a hitter and see the plate and pitches as well as control his impulses to overeat have torpedoed his career.

    Donate money to what? Charities? They certainly do a great deal of that already. They donated 25 million to racial justice in 2022. And routinely donate almost 20 million annually to various foundations granted those are tax deductible, but still. It's a heck of a lot more than some people who donate absolutely NOTHING but rant and rave how others don't do enough. Just sayin not splaynin (or is it the other way around? anyhow it doesn't really matter).

    BINGO. Half your cable bill goes to sports franchises in your market (that is if you still have cable).

    The pitch clock should have happened years ago. 3 hours 6 minutes is a start, but it would be nicer to see games in the 2-1/2 - 2hour 45 minute range.

    It may still happen. Gleeman has been wrong before on predictions.

    I don't think he'll be remotely close to a #1. I expect a 4-5 starter at best and more likely a relief pitcher given his medicore fastball and lack of a strong out pitch.

    Part of what troubles me about the Arraez Lopez trade is that Lopez is only under team control for 2023 and 2024. I hope they try and extend him at some point this season. I had really hoped they would have made a bigger deal with Arraez plus some higher level prospects and gotten one of Cabrera, Luzardo, or Alcantara. Either way that's water under the bridge now and the FO must make the best of this.
  24. laloesch
    I don't either. Ober just needs a bit more time. I can't imagine the Twins have given up on him as a starter just yet.
  25. laloesch
    He may not end up with anyone depending on how much weight he's gained this offseason. No joke he's gained 60 or 70 pounds of fat in the offseason before.
  26. laloesch
    meh this move doesn't really impress me that much.
  27. laloesch
    Not necessarily. Arraez's stats have been steadily climbing particularly the extra base hits and his homerun's have been creeping upwards from almost non existence and he's still only 26. Plenty of time for him to continue to grow. Arreaz is a good player and he's off to one heck of a start if you ask me.

    I would go that far. Lopez is a #3 starter and if the Twins could do a 1 for 1 swap like Kepler for Lopez I would do it in a heartbeat. But i wouldn't give up Arraez for Lopez straight up, not considering he's got only 2 years left on his deal.
