    They did, Kyle Farmer. There's like 4 threads about it.

    Urshela's replacement. About $4 MM cheaper and under control for '23 & '24. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/twins-to-acquire-kyle-farmer.html

    Where do you think the team name "Twins" comes from? Also, the "TC" logo on the hat stands for Twin Cities, so I guess us out-staters have been getting slapped in the face for years....

    I like the new-look uniforms. I am not a fan of the new "M" hats (not a fan of the old ones either), but the "M" looks like they inverted the "W" from the old Senator's logo, so maybe it pays homage to the team's roots.

    The only way I want to see Cruz in a Twins uniform is as the hitting coach.

    I don't think Correa gets that kind of $$$. IF that is his asking price, the other 3 SS will sign first, as well as Judge, Verlander, and deGrom. Also the next tier led by Rodon, Nimmo and Contreras. That doesn't leave a lot of teams or $$$ out there, and he'd be negotiating against himself. 1 SS will get paid more than the rest, but I don't think it will be the last one to sign, which, if this article is right about his contract demands, will be Correa.

    Read comment directly above mine Pretty bold statement!! Or will it be "Challenge accepted" ?

    Plenty of bats to cover DH.
  13. mnfireman
    Adding Hosmer is a hard pass, to use your words. Miranda, Kirilloff and Arraez can handle 1B for now.

    Teoscar Hernandez traded to the Mariners. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/blue-jays-trade-teoscar-hernandez-mariners.html

    FanGraphs/CrowdSource predicts 1/$10 MM for Gallo, I assume a value building contract. Gordon, Kirilloff, Wallner and Larnach = $750 K * 4 = $3 MM Kepler = $8.5 MM Current Twins total = $11.5 MM for LH OF. Again, I say no to Gallo as the team should get better production overall from internal resources.

    That would be a big NO!!

    2 seasons of roughly 30% above MLB average offense, league average defense, then flipped for his replacement, the back-up C/DH and salary savings to sign Correa. Not too bad, I would say.
  18. mnfireman
    Gordon and Garlick provide enough RH OF bats, no need for him. Edit: My bad, Gordon bats LH......

    Player's generally want the option to opt out of a contract to pursue either a bigger, longer contract or higher AAV. Correa's value is at its peak because of his age (28) and position (SS). In 4 or 5 years he will be "old" by MLB standards and ready for a positions change, both of which mean less $$$. He could have played out his contract in MN and not cost himself anything, unless he got hurt in year 3. He would be 30 years old and inline for another big payday, lets say 7 years, $245 MM. That would equate out to 10 years, $350.3 MM including the 3 year, $105.3 signed last year. I don't think he gets that much this year competing against Judge, Bogaerts, Swanson, Turner, Verlander, deGrom, etc...

    Why don't the Twins just sign Drury and Haniger in hopes they provide 3.0 WAR each. They could then trade Kepler, Arraez, Gordon and Polanco for a SP and a starting C. Might have to make it a 3 team trade as I don't know if Oakland has any starting pitching ready to be a #2 or #3 immediately, but Murphy would be nice. This trade then makes room for Larnach, Kirilloff, Miranda, and Lewis immediately and opens spots for Martin and Lee if they are ready by August or September. Of course would still need to sign a short term SS or play Urshela there until Lewis is ready in late May or June. There is some sarcasm implied here, but probably not as much as should be. Martinez may experience a late career resurgence and turn into Nelson Cruz, but this team doesn't need bat only players who are on the backside of their careers.

    No. Failing in SD was one thing, but it continued in Milwaukee. It actually got worse in Milwaukee.

    A TD user, rwilfong86, stated several times after Lopez began struggling that he (Lopez) had personal issues going on at home, something with one of his children. Do not underestimate how much something like this could affect his performance, especially after being traded to a different team and being separated from family.

    So a .291/.366/.467 130 OPS+ slash line is disappointing? 5.4 bWAR & 4.4 fWAR is disappointing? Among qualified SS (21) his AVG was 3rd, his OBP was 2nd, and his SLG was 2nd. He didn't grade out very high according to defensive metrics, and we can all read into those what we want.
  24. mnfireman
    Fulmer - maybe Rogers - no May - no Pagan pitched as well (???) as any of the 3 listed above and gets no love, his secondary/rate numbers are the best of the 3. He will get about $3.5M in arbitration, but he is from another organization (outsider). I am NOT saying Pagan is the answer, but his late season numbers (after accepting coaching??), salary and rate numbers say he is as good or better of an option than the 3 former Twins suggested.

    Unless the competition can't stay on the field.
