  1. I can understand the Twins reasoning behind it...but guessing no way Lewis would be open to it. He literally is at his lowest value. Perhaps revisiting next year makes sense for him.
  2. I think the one thing that kills me most about the lack of anything substantial this offseason, is that the FO seems to be punting on another one of Buxton's prime years. To me, that is the biggest offense. I get he is hurt often, but when he is not, he is a game changer in his prime. Last year sucked., and he was 28. He is 29 this year, and punting that season means they will have literally wasted his best years. That sucks.
  3. Some things never change. Twins should TOTALLY sign a veteran 5th starter so they can block their MiLB pitchers longer. We all know this is going to be a rebuild year. Let's see what the pitching pipeline can finally do
  4. I appreciate your optimism here, but the "hope for a tide turning season" feels very on brand for the Twins. Why go out and create your own fate, when you can sit back and hope?!?
  5. If they make the World Series, and Sonny Gray is the #1 starer, that means they won some playoff series!! I'll take that all day!! I mean, eventually, yes, gotta get better to win a World Series, but this team has been ass for so long, I just want a playoff series win to start with.
  6. If Falvine came in with no Plan B, do we really want them in charge of the pivot?!?!
  7. Yeah, seems very pennywise and pound foolish to constantly ignore FA's and use prospects to acquire talent. I get there are outliers, and examples to the contrary, but this FO has been pretty much "wait out the market, try to get a bargain or last man standing, if not, we can flip prospects". That seems like a sketchy strategy, especially when you can literally acquire talent for just $$$ in FA, and use your prospects as cheap labor. Obviously there is a balance.....but this never swimming in the deep end gets old
  8. Yankees literally don't need to dump contracts. They are the Yankees. They print money.
  9. It's not my money, so in a vacuum, if you miss out on Carols, I'd be fine with Dansy. He definitely would be a big asset at one of the most important positions on the diamond. HOWEVER, knowing how the Twins operate, that contract would "limit" them from improving in the future...and I don't think Swanson moves the needle enough to make it worthwhile.
  10. Possibly. But considering the recent run of pitcher acquisitions, there is probably 100% chance the Ty is gonna need shoulder surgery come early May. Feels like the new Twins Way.
  11. You know this is a banger when comments are questioning if it is a parody. Well done sir
  12. Whitey Ford - they should at least pursue a chance at acquiring the Whitey Ford song by Everlast. It's a nostalgic banger.
  13. He is super valuable, and has a great contract. Probably their best trade candidate. As long as they don't trade him for another pitcher that "has had arm troubles in the past, but we checked him out and he is all good", they should flip him.
  14. This whole list has a feeling of "ugh" sadly, for those hoping for a massive upgrade.
  15. The decision to man the rotation with Archer and Bundy, and NOT invest heavily in known commodities in the bullpen is just a lack of poor planning. Even if you want to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe it'll hold up....the lack of course correction sucked. The Twins are in an imminently winnable division every year. And to not go all in when Correa falls into their lap is so sad.
  16. I mean, the real answer, if you sign any of these dudes long term, is Carlos. He is the youngest, so it lessens the long term risk, of all the "top" SS. Plus, he LIKES it here. They literally just have to offer the most. Instead of the most, plus plus, like they normally do. Sign the man
  17. Rocco, to me, is such a small part of the problem. The problem is with roster construction, ability to develop consistently, and deviate from a plan if it isn't working. You could say Rocco has a hand in all of them...but it feels like it's an org philosophy, not just a manager's
  18. If Gardy would have been forward thinking, ( bat Mauer leadoff instead of 3rd for most of his career), the numbskulls would be far less. Dude was elite hitter. Just not elite power hitter.
  19. I'm ready for some baseball. I think the roster is "fine" for now. Obviously adding more pitching would have been awesome, but they are where they are at. Let's see how it goes the first couple months.
  20. I'd highly encourage to expand beyond the scope of just "D1".....there is awesome and talented baseball players to watch everywhere.
  21. I mean, I get your point, but dude is only 44....could be just to keep mind busy and having something to do. Being retired that early in life, you have to do something to stay busy
