The fact that we were able to trade so many on our 26-man, players other teams WANTED, tells me this team has underperformed. I don’t think it was a development problem as much as an on-field mgmt pro

I don't think Ryan or Jax are getting moved... Castro will definitely go quickly here. And it might not be a guarantee that Correa fully passes the physical...

The irony of that series of events...

All the professional athletes are playing to win the final game of the season. Most players—even the most loyal—would not pass up an opportunity to play for a team in the playoffs. There are many really good baseball players who have never played in the World Series. I don’t begrudge anyone for wanting that vs staying for a rebuild. 

No they aren't. Most of them play for the paycheck. Also, it isn't that at all for me about Correa. It's the getting hurt with nothing and staying out half the season, then bailing when the going gets tough. All while sucking up a 1/4 of your team's payroll. It's taking heavy hacks in an at-bat when you need a single or to get on base. It's being paid like the best player on the team, then not leading the younger players at all. Done...

I feel like this is a little bit like taking all the furniture out of your house before you sell it.  Gives prospective buyers a chance to imagine the place as theirs.

I bumped an old thread to have this conversation out. I sort of agree.

Over/under in wins next season… my guess is vegas will have them around 68…. we are dangerously close to Colorado Rockies territory,. 

What have we truly lost so far?  

We still have Lopez, Ryan, Ober.   We have Jax, Sands,  Varland.  You have Buxton, Lewis, Jeffers,  Lee.   You have some pieces to build around.

Am I the o ly Twins fan that is volunteering to pack the Pohlads moving vans. How much you want to bet they sell to an owner that want's to move the Twins. Remember these dweebs volunteered to contract the Twins for a check.

Twins always have and will be small town team!!! This is proof!!! But that’s ok. It’s going to be growing pains the next 3-4 years but with major changes it’s what’s best and needed going forward!!!

With what? Unless new owners will spend money, wisely? Are you getting a 2B with Lee, Keaschell and Eelse around? Nope. There is no really good catcher to pay. That leave first and one OF, maybe. But will you really block Erod and Jenkins and Gonzalez? It's all on Buxton and Lewis and whichever SS they have and 2b they have being good, or the rest likely won't matter. In other words, the same as the last 5 years. 

The issue remains, the core isn't good enough, healthy enough.

I'm over this team for a long time.

No you can’t!!! This year is done but we still must support our twins no matter what!!! It will be 3-4 years but this had to be done going forward!!! We got top prospects ready to step up!!! No expectations whatsoever!!! This is better! Let’s see how the kids do!!!
