WHATTTTTTTT THIS IS MADNESS

So we have now downgraded 3b and C and don't have a SS again.

Urshela CAN play short..... The Yankees were going to play him there. Still would be iffy though.

[Game7-91]

Rortvedt, JD and IKF for Sanchez and Gio.....WTH?

So then we have no 3b.

My first cynical thought is sweet they're saving all of Donald's salary for the Pohlad's pockets.

I, for one, am excited for Sanchez's sub .200 BA with worse than Garver defense.

[Roaddog]

Opens a spot for Miranda and cuts salary.

There has to be another piece coming back from NYY, has to be......

Nope they're taking all of Donaldson's contract.

Already reported they're not keeping him.

[Game7-91]

I was looking forward to making up that 1hr of lost sleep tonight......but this is too good. What happens next?

[lecroy24fan]

And now were not flipping Sanchez. This is the greatest March Madness I've ever seen.

Can we please combine the threads? Please.

There aren’t two threads. There’s a front page news article and then this thread. They have to be separate entities.

The Pohlad's aren't ordering Falvey to have a $75 million payroll. Either he has a plan for the 50-60 million they have to spend or he's incompetent

Why? It's pretty hard to have two conversations. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

In television commercial voice: we’ve replaced the normal general manager with AJ Preller. Will Twins fans be able to tell the difference?

Because it breaks the front page comments.

The latter seems more likely.

[Game7-91]

Ok, two deep breaths. Something else is happening, tomorrow. This has to be Story, or another trade(s).......suspending judgment until this plays out. Just picked a bad time to stop taking Ativan.

[Danchat]

What is happening?! They've downgraded our C position drastically AND shipped off our new SS? AND shipped out Rortvedt? I am at a loss for words. I hate this trade.

[notoriousgod71]

I'll say this- Falvine is very good at turning apathy into unhinged rage.

yeah ... like he'd sign here after we've decimated the team ... I mean ... we have so many holes to fill now ... we have downgraded our infield and catching positions

Unfortunately, yes. 

[howeda7]

On the positive side, maybe this will hasten Falvey's eventual firing.
