Great video! I always liked Correa and how he was a natural leader on the team. That video just reinforced what I already thought I knew. Thanks for posting this!! It will take attitudes and leaders like Correa to bring another WS title back to Minnesota. Go Twins!

Great update John! Thank you! Go Twins!!

I mentioned this is another post: Plate in heel no big deal. Plate in the head the microwave will make you dead. Great signing! Go Twins!

I really like this deal. I didn't like a 10-13 year deal but this is nice. Minnesota nice! I've had a metal plate in my head for years. Only bothers me when the microwave is turned on. Plate in the heel. No big deal!

Excellent write-up! Thank you! I've been complaining about this for years. Effective base running is a very critical part of the game just like defensive skills. The Twins have not done a great job IMO of coaching this element of the game. With Buxton's speed he should have way more stolen base attempts and should be a much more effective baserunner. I understand the injury risk but really??? The fastest guy in baseball rarely stealing or attempting it. Maybe I'm just to old school in my thinking. Probably another post to discuss entirely. The Twins should bring in Molitor to teach base running to these guys (if Molitor still speaks with the front office)....At least bring Mauer in to teach this very critical skill. Mauer and Molitor were great on the base paths...

Merry Christmas gang! What a great group of people to share time with. Thanks TD!

Any update on Joey Gallo's physical???? Maybe we can use that as an escape clause...:)

Me too! Great article and so true. It sounds crazy but the old adage of going up to your eyeballs in debt during high inflation is a good way to take advantage of inflation. Thanks for sharing that link!

I'd rather play Farmer or just bring in some young guys. At least I would enjoy watching that instead...

I really liked CC but 13 year/$350mm is crazy talk....I am so glad we dodged this bullet. I'm going to sleep like a baby tonight and wait for Lewis or Lee to arrive. To Correa: Congratulations! Enjoy the financial freedom! To the Giants: Caveat Emptor!

Great write-up! Thanks Parker! Miranda will turn out well. I think the kids got a bright future ahead of him.

I agree. I just watched the Nolan Ryan bio on my last Delta flight back home. Watch that and then debate your position. I'm an above average avid baseball fan and learned a ton watching it. You almost can't make it up. These MLB teams need to start letting pitchers pitch. What they are managing to now and how they are coaching these kids now is not working. I miss watching pitchers go 9 innings...I really do.

My gut says 70/30 analytics over gut decisions... That's just a gut feeling though......

Great article. St. Peter is clearly not watching the games. I am more than a casual fan and could barley watch this team after the All-Star break. The best term I can come up to describe this team is bland. No spark, no fire, no leadership, no coaching and very poor management.

Agree with you on points 1, 5 and 6. I'm more concerned with their offensive output. Still feels like there are a lot of unknowns there. In addition, the bullpen will need to be upgraded in a big way. Oh, by the way, let's get a new trainer or leader in the strength and conditioning department. Oh, by the way, let's get an instructional coach to teach base running. Paul Molitor was considered a base running genius. Get him to spring training early and let him sit on the bench during the season too. I also suspect we will see a new pitching coach and hitting coach. Nelson Cruz might make a great hitting coach.

Pick to click today is Wallner. Just sayin'.

I still think there is a 50/50 chance Correa returns. I don't have any information to back that up but its just a hunch. $35mm is still a nice payday...

Welcome back Twins fans to another workday game thread! I'm still dealing with emotional issues regarding this season. If you would have told me back in May we would be in this situation I would have laughed at the absurdity. Under .500 and 9 games back on September 22 is disgusting. I guess we can cheer for the younger players trying to fill in for our ailing starters. I did have an idea for next year though. Maybe we move the Twins team to Rochester, Minnesota to be closer to the Mayo Clinic. It may help with injuries, etc. Just a thought though....Would love to hear from others on what they would do next year to improve the health and durability of this team. Clearly letting your stars take a couple of days of each week has not helped. Hang in there Twins fans! Brighter days are ahead for this team. Go Twins! Today's Lineups: TWINS: 1. L. Arraez, DH 2. C. Correa, SS 3. Nick Gordon, 2B 4. J. Miranda, 1B 5. Gio Urshela, 3B 6. M. Wallner, RF 7. G. Celestino, CF 8. Jake Cave, LF 9. C. Hamilton, C SP - Josh Winder, RHP (4-4, 4.17 ERA) ROYALS: 1. M. Melendez, C 2. B. Witt, Jr., SS 3. S. Perez, DH 4. V. Pasquantino, 1B 5. E. Olivares, RF 6. K. Isbel, LF 7. N. Eaton, 3B 8. N. Lopez, 2B 9. D. Waters, CF SP - Jonathan Heasley, RHP (3-8, 5.09 ERA)

Good morning Twins fans and welcome back to the ever popular workday game thread! For those of you still working from home go ahead and turn on the TV and watch the game while pretending to listen and participate on conference calls. If you're working in an office close your office door and get the radio going. If you work in a cubical city put your EarPods in and listen or watch the game from your computer of smart phone. If those options don't sound appealing go ahead and take the day off. You have my permission. Well, the Twins have certainly spiraled out of control. I'm still in the denial stage of my grieving process...I think anger comes next...I'll wait for the anger stage to kick in before posting anything new in the forums. I will keep this short since we are playing for pride now and not the playoffs.... Today's Lineups: TWINS: 1. Luis Arraez, DH 2. C. Correa, SS 3. J. Miranda, 1B 4. Nick Gordon, 2B 5. G. Urshela, 3B 6. G. Celestino, CF 7. Jake Cave, LF 8. M. Wallner, RF 9. S. Leon, C SP - Sonny Gray, RHP (8-4, 2.83 ERA) CLEVELAND: 1. S. Kwan, LF 2. A. Rosario, SS 3. J. Ramirez, DH 4. J. Naylor, 1B 5. O. Gonzalez, RF 6. A. Gimenez, 2B 7. T. Freeman, 3B 8. L. Maile, C 9. M. Straw, CF SP - Cal Quantrill, RHP (12-5, 3.51 ERA)

Thanks LVT!!!

It's such a great team to watch as well! Ugghhhhhh...

Over/Under 3 runs for Twins.

It is what it is....Hate the saying but so true.

My pick to click tonight is Miranda. And no, he does not need to read your rights!
