Chances of that happening is probably greater than 99%.

The only reason I am still watching this game is to see if Sano strikes out again. 

Im thinking positive.  Popout.

I don't wanna talk about it

[Irishman]

I think Twins will be a seller, not buyer.

That’s my point. Most of the major pieces are hurt and ineffective also and acquiring a frontline starter and great reliever will put them in the bottom third of all farm systems. I’d be all in for Mahle or a reliever with control.

Given the state of the farm system, I just have to believe that the whole purpose of acquiring for Correa was to move him and trade for more prospects. The team over-performed the first half of the season, and now they probably have no idea what to do. Especially given Target Field has had decent crowds as of late. We may actually get double screwed, by a refusal to do anything and just nibble at the margins which will simultaneously make no impact this year and really hurt whatever our initial plan was with Correa and using him as a piece for prospects.

Still could be a piece for prospects 

[Irishman]

[rickybeathard]

Sano homers here. 

 

LOL never mind. The likelier scenario played out.

If that's the plan they don't trade for Gray.

That Sano-fer.

[Irishman]

Another K for Kano!    Baldelli and Falvey, please cut him loose!   

[Parfigliano]

Goodnight

[insagt1]

Nope. Sano just half-heartedly waved at 3 pitches. Thats 3 for 3 in  k's. Twins can't afford to keep him in the lineup and wait for him to get those 100 AB's he needs to 'warm up' and start hitting.

[USAFChief]

Is that Gladden on the field?

 

Not to toot my own horn (oh who am I kidding?) but this might be the funniest thing I've ever posted on TD

Could it be that the front office is just totally incompetent. Or also just kind of settling in to mediocrity.

Who, Sano? or the fan who ran on the field? ?

[RpR]

Celestino swings at a pitch low and a foot outside the strike zone, my, my, my.

i would like to think FO fails Twins and the fans.   FO needs to be overhauled after this season,  

[kydoty]

Miguel Sano is a Major League Baseball player in contact only.

Maybe if the twins had uniforms as ugly as San Diego's they would do better.
