Twins Acquire Gold-Glove Outfielder from Royals

Between Jeffers, Gordon, Farmer and Taylor the bench has been upgraded from just bench players to could be starting on a marginal or bad team players. Assuming relative health of the starters, hopefully Buxton and Correa can keep the team a cohesive unit.- 87 replies

Can the Twins Poach a Big Contract?
sthpstm replied to Matt Braun's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
This front office loves to use the word creative. If applied here, that could mean a 3 team trade where the Twins send a third team cash while the Yankees send That team Donaldson and send the Twins a player for that cash. -
My offer to Correa is 320 over 11 years. Sorry, but I don’t think he wants opt outs or creativity. I think he wants longevity and security like the other contracts have gotten this year.

Is it cheating to do this so “late” in the off-season? Maybe but I never thought the Twins would sign the biggest FA’s, except Correa and thought they may be active on the trade front. The big trade is Kepler to the Mariners, Arraez and Larnach to the Marlins (along with an OF like Kelenic) and the Twins receive Luzardo and hometown product Myers. Luzardo has the ability to be the frontline pitcher in the playoffs. He will probably spend some time of the but the Twins have depth to deal with that. Myers can rehab in AAA if he pitches and will take a spot in 2024. It’s hard to give up 3 players but I’m replacing them with experienced hitters for the top of the order and mixing in some of the kids. The bullpen gets a couple of under the radar additions, Ober is not listed but someone will be injured. 2024 rotation already could be Luzardo, Ryan, Ober, Myers, FA/another kid/or extension of Mahle, Maeda, or Gray. C: Christian Vazquez ($10.00M) 1B: Kiriloff ($.7M) 2B: Jorge Polanco ($7.50M) 3B: Jose Miranda ($0.70M) SS: Correa ($30M) LF: Benintendi ($14M) CF: Byron Buxton ($15.00M) RF: Wallner ($.7M) DH: Brantley ($11M) 4th OF: Myers ($4M) Utility: Nick Gordon ($0.70M) Utility: Farmer ($5M) Backup C: Ryan Jeffers ($0.70M) SP1: Sonny Gray ($12.00M) SP2: Tyler Mahle ($8.00M) SP3: Kenta Maeda ($9.00M) SP4: Joe Ryan ($0.70M) SP5: Luzardo ($3M) RP: Jhoan Duran ($0.70M) RP: Jorge Lopez ($3.00M) RP: Griffin Jax ($0.70M) RP: Jorge Alcala ($1.00M) RP: Caleb Thielbar ($2.00M) RP: Aaron Sanchez ($1M) RP: Pierce Johnson ($2M) RP: Matt Moore ($5M) Payroll is 5.47% over budget

Carlos Correa Makes His Decision Clear
sthpstm replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I’m shocked that someone who would cheat to win isn’t more tactful? No, his being arrogant or expectant of a big pay day or whatever your take is, doesn’t surprise me at all. -

Why Haven’t the Twins Called Up Matt Wallner?
sthpstm replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I don’t blame them for wanting to see him adjust to AAA but as as of this week, I don’t see many valid excuses. And while I think he could certainly be a decent MLB player I’m not sure he’s one that you worry about breaking the bank and service time so much. -
To make room for Matt Wallner?!?!?! oh wait, does Bailey Ober need a spot?

Brooks Lee's Stock is Already Rising
sthpstm replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
I’m not disputing that Lee has done well, but if you look at other top prospects, there aren’t many if any that you would move down to make room for his ascent. Most of the guys drafted above or even after him are also holding or more than holding their own at comparable levels. -

Who cares about being screwed in 1 game by a bad call when poor hitting with men on base has screwed you in many, many games. 11 hits and 2 runs…that’s the problem here.- 87 replies

I have supported this front office and I’m certain I haven’t blasted them here, but that changes now… Josh Winder is not a bullpen pitcher, having Chris Archer (some may substitute Dylan Bundy) start over him is ridiculous. And now, sending Royce Lewis to AAA (while having stubbornly continued to bat him at the bottom of the lineup) is ridiculous. These 2 young guys are clearly a part of the future and clear upgrades over whomever they would displace. I refuse to believe that a guy who is as determined and focused as Lewis is going to be ruined by playing him out of position, off SS, this year. I call BS. I have to think this is not sitting well with the best players in the clubhouse either, or his agent. Worst move(s) of the year right here. This is a shame on the FO and manager.

Bauer suspended 2 full seasons, beginning today
sthpstm replied to Otto von Ballpark's topic in Other Baseball
The law may say she didn’t die and it was consensual so we have no box to check for prosecution. Can the MLB not take that more into consideration than the law can? They can’t be expected to put in writing the depraved acts someone might perform, consensual or not. What he and she did is insanity, and could have resulted in death, and he’s being punished by his employer for it. End of story as far as I can see.
