The Plight of the Orioles Should Give Twins Fans a Sense of Perspective

If the comparison is Baltimore, it was only two short years ago that Baltimore fleeced the Twins with the Jorge Lopez trade and of Coulombe changing teams at that time too. I guess you knew this and left it out intentionally to draw comments—here you go

By the way, I am enjoying the Twins streak very much. Baldelli gets in trouble by overmanaging and he has not been doing that lately it seems. That is key. 

Fleeced in the trade for Lopez?  Why do you say that?  Yes, Lopez was terrible for use with little help.  Cano had 1 great year in 2023, an okay year last year, but so far a bad year this year.  Povich has been below replacement starter.  The other 2 have not made the majors.  I would say yeah we did not do great in the trade, but if you look at this year the 2 MLB players we gave up we would not even have on our roster right now.  Everyone of our starters have had more value than Povich, and doubt he would even be on our 40 man, most likely lost to a rule 5 at some point or waiver pick up.  Only Jax has been as bad as Cano, but has been much better lately.
