Video: This Offseason Is Going To Take a While To Develop

[Tom Froemming]

The Minnesota Twins haven't done anything this offseason and I'm guessing it might be another month before we see any activity from Derek Falvey and the front office. We're just going to have to be patient.

Can’t get Froemming’s video past the first 45 seconds - keeps cutting to Matt.

Matt’s discussion is trading infield depth for a middle level reliever with lots of control & upside. I like the idea and am not opposed to trading Kyle Farmer for an arm - careful for what you take for granted though! Matt says “Farmer kinda filled the roll we got him for……”. His career BA is .255 and he hit .255. He played all 3 glove spots in the infield as well or better than the guys that typically started in front of him. No doubt better than Lewis & Julien defensively. Also, finished ahead of Polanco at 2B metrics in ‘23. Other than being forced off the active roster for about a month due to getting HBPB in the face, he was available every day!

I invest in our Pen to make it immediately elite! Trade a package like Polanco - Gordon - Rodriguez - Sands (assuming they would flip Polanco for prospects) to the Brewers for Devin Williams. He’s affordable at $6.25M currently (trading $10.5M salary in Polanco) and he’s got 2 years left of control.

Our time to win is NOW!

Varland is displaced from Pen by somebody better - he becomes our 5th/6th starter and our Pen is better. Team payroll is at $110M after this deal - spend up to $14-$15M on a FA starter.

Lee - Julien - Lewis - CC - Farmer - Castro - Martin have our infield glove needs more than covered.

I have the same issue with all the video's.  If you just skip ahead and then go back to the beginning it won't automatically move onto the next video after 45 seconds.  Sometime a popup will actually come up asking if you want to keep viewing but it closes so quick you can't click on it before it moves to the next video.  Just move it forward and then back to the beginning and all will be well.
