[HitInAPinch]

 

Update: we know about the known knowns. We know about the known unknowns.

It's the unknown unknowns we don't know about.

Thanks for the update Dave. Can we know what the final offer is without jeopardizing your source?

I will ask them.

Since the Doziers will, in all likelihood, be looking for a place to live near Dodger Stadium I ran a search on Zillow and returned the following results.

 

 

 

Curious to see what $800,000 will buy in that neighborhood, I clicked on the link (green dot) for 1016 Figueroa Terrace.

 

 

 

Breathe taking Views of Downtown Los Angeles Skyline. Triplex consists of two separate buildings.1016 Figueroa Terrace is a separate structure 2 bedroom 1 bath. 1020 ,1022 Figueroa Terrace is a Duplex containing a 1 bedroom 1 bath and a single. A driveway and single vehicle carport separate the two structures. This location offers immediate access to the Hollywood 101 and Pasadena 110 Freeways. Dodger Stadium is less than half a mile to the north and Staples center is 2 and a half miles south making this property perfect for basketball and baseball fans. 

 

Looks like the Doziers could live in half of it and rent the other half out if they wanted a little extra income.

DIY Network already has an option in place for the TV show:  "Remodel?  PFFT...Take a DOZIER to it!"

Day 4 log entry...the group is thinking of eating Dave.

Hopefully there won't be a slow down of substantive news on this thread because it is Sunday.

This made me literally laugh out loud.

[Obsvr]

 

My sources (yes, I have my ins as well) are telling me that the Dodgers want to trade for Dozier, then trade him back to Minnesota for a package including Ervin Santana.

 

Apparently the holdup is they also want Oswaldo Arcia, so the Twins have to get him back before the deal can be consummated.

 

These pro sports are complicated beeswax folks.

If the Twins trade Dozier to the Dodgers for De Leon, Alvarez, Stewart, and some other non-prospect, and the deal has been in place for days while the Twins try to hold out for the inclusion of Lux...

 

...then Dave has massively scooped the baseball media establishment, which has not gotten a whiff of it for days. And the few dozen (hundred) TD faithful have been the only people in the know.

I'd be fine with Stewart, Alvarez, Lux and a 16 year old gcl level prospect. De Leon wouldn't be a holdup for me

[Craig Arko]

My sources say the Russians are interfering with the deal.

This can't be true. I'm, like, a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years.

How 'bout dem Wikings?

Since you all have **** up this thread beyond belief like some type of joke, I will no longer be posting updates here.

 

Will keep you posted on where I will post future updates. Might even have to make a temporary twitter account.

[DaveW]

Here is where all future updates will go:
https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesotatwins/comments/5ht0ri/dozier_trade_to_dodgers_updates_thread/

 

This is because of users like Craig who messaged me directly calling me "an idiot" "attention whore" and told mods that he would not stop his harassment of me. I guess even at 59 years old someone like Craig has to try to be a bully. Sad!

Along with other mods and owners of this site calling me an "idiot"

For all future updates please follow along:

Thanks!

I never said idiot. Can't speak for anyone else.

'you all'  ???  Come on, Dave.  Many, many of us have done nothing but post preferences and opinions on the merits of the deal and refrained from leaving any humorous (humorless) or snarky posts at all.  I trust the sincerity of your posts in this thread and have eagerly looked forward to updates.

You all was not accurate, and I apologize. It's really just the bullying due to a couple members and the mods letting it continue.

[DaveW]

As mentioned: https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesotatwins/comments/5ht0ri/dozier_trade_to_dodgers_updates_thread/

For future updates!

See you all on the other threads!

Indeed, this is what happens when you try to do nice things! 

What a world we live in now.

[kab21]

Now I guess I will have to be productive and actually do something with the day.

It's already MONDAY here!

[snepp]

Ok, enough self-martyrdom, someone else can re-open this is there's a reason to do so.

Moderator note - I am unlocking this thread on a trial basis for the sole and limited purpose of Dave keeping us updated and people talking about the potential impact of the trade.

 

There were a lot of good posts here, people. And some very funny posts. Overall, this was a very entertaining thread and there was some interesting analysis, But some feelings got hurt and some posts got too personal, so until I have worked that out with the parties I am unlocking this thread with two special ground rules:

 

1. No more joking, no matter how funny. Think of this as Windows startup mode until further notice..

 

2. No questioning of Dave's veracity, no matter how it is phrased. If you doubt Dave's veracity then please just go read another thread. This thread should not be about Dave.

 

I am disappointed that we came to a point where snepp had to close one of the most popular and entertaining threads in TD history. I believe that as a community we can and must do better than this.

 

We are all Twins fans and that is an important, eternal bond. If we wanted to be insensitive or to bicker then we could become Yankees fans. Let's remember that we are in this together and try to express our fundamental brotherhood by thinking about how the other person might feel. 

 

I did not have the privilege to grow up in the Twin Cities and for a decade I had to follow the Twins by radio. I did not meet a fellow Twins fan in person until I was 30 years old. You people make me feel sad when you fail to appreciate the value of your fellow Twins fans.

 

We moderators work hard to create a place where you can disagree and argue like you might with your best friend, NOT like you might argue in some anonymous forum. 

 

Please note that this lecture applies only to a handful of you, and they know who they are.

[FlapsDown]

So with that...any updates Dave?

[RaymondLuxuryYacht]

If Dave opts to post only to the reddit thing, can someone summarize the information here?     I think reddit is blocked for me at work, while TD is not (at this point).  Thanks for the help.

[DaveW]

I will repost the update from Reddit shortly and will keep this thread updated as well with anything new.
