Problem is that, except for their best prospects, most of our players are either untradeable or undesirable to most other teams, meaning we wouldn't get much for them.

Also, if this is really the truth why would we think this is a playoff team? Every player has value. Just depends if Falvey thinks it’s worth trading them in July or not. And frankly, I’m worried Falvey is still making these decisions. I wouldn’t mind waiting it out until a new owner is announced and he’s gone.

Is it the same leg he injured before?

He’s injured both legs in his career, so yes

Just boggles my mind how a 25 year old can have so many leg injuries 

I have read up on muscles and bones because I'm getting older and the muscles and bones hurt more , one thing I learned was to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water  ...

Dehydration can lead to muscle and bone soreness  so it said ...

Not that I disagree with the overall point, but if it's the same leg I'd say there's a pretty good chance it wasn't close to healthy enough to be playing in the first place. When you have to tell somebody not to run out ground balls Idk why you're penciling them into the lineup, especially when they're very clearly struggling at the plate and in the field.

Maybe becoming too muscle bound is part of the problem.

I agree with that. He didn’t look healthy from day 1 when he was called up from his rehab assignment

The Royals are collapsing too. 

Twins could still turn it around. No one saw the win streak coming. 

I don't think it's a collapse so much as this is pretty much who they are; an atrocious offensive club with decent (although injured) pitching. 

Did the Twins magically get another series scheduled with Baltimore? Kidding. Kinda.

Yeah I'm not usually too concerned with injury timeline stuff but the whole Royce saga this season feels like pretty gross mismanagement from both a health and performance standpoint.

Take this with a grain of salt since I don't have access to watch games:

Lately during games threads people have been wanting to run the kid out of town on a rail. How much of that was due to poor mechanics and decision making vs trying to play through subpar health and probably being gun-shy of hurting himself again?

Granted he's a professional who needs to perform, but how much "grace" do we give athletes? I've never gone to work and said, "Judy from accounting needs to be demoted since she developed carpal tunnel and got a divorce"

I can listen to Stevie nicks all day. Lindsey Buckingham, underrated guitar player.

Danny Kirwan and Peter Green with McVie  and Mick Fleetwood was the bands best lineup

He needs 8 legs. That way when he pulls 1 or 2 hamstrings, he could still play. He IS a pulled hamstring.
