    Nah, autocorrect bit me in the ass again.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    I’m also not that high on Swanson. My piling on is more geared at missing on EVERYBODY than any single player.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Alright, everyone. Pile on.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Are we talking about a stew?
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Kepler's knack for the IFFB is what drives me absolutely batty over the course of 162.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    We're definitely changing the process, still working through discussions about it internally.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    I gave it a D because it likely has the side effect of inducing a Max Kepler trade, who I absolutely loathe watching play baseball. Mind you, I also loathe watching Joey Gallo play baseball, but at least the reason for my loathing will change and variety is the spice of life.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    You're joking, right? Sano is going to be way cheaper than what the Twins just paid for Gallo.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    It makes absolutely no ****ing sense. I hate this deal so much.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins front office versus the Internet.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Gross. I hate this.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Stupid google stop it

    Okay, I'm not piling on Dan here, I love his work and you should subscribe to The Athletic. In a piece this morning, he quoted some Twins management and sources about what they plan to do in the wake of Correa going to the Giants. And a lot of it is rational, useful information. But holy Moses did this quote stick in my craw: *uncontrollable gagging* I mean, what? This is the team that traded Gio Urshela earlier this offseason. Justin Turner is a fine player, I guess, but he's the only name on that list that doesn't make me reel in horror. My suggestion to Twins officials: if those are the names you're going to mention, don't mention any names. Anyway, go read the piece, there's interesting information contained within that didn't make me dizzy and nauseous. View full rumor

    Are you still seeing that on Google? I shut it down using Google's link removal tool a couple of days ago.

    Cool cool, this just means the five of us can get extra drunk at dinner the night before.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    There's a risk he implodes, for sure... but I think he's worth the rather marginal risk of buying out one FA year and getting an option for another.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Excellent post, Ash. And what you outlined here is why I've stayed well clear of "the Twins were played" or other implications of them being, well, stupid in some way. In the words of LMM... I believe they mis-read the market but I think a lot of baseball mis-read the market going into November. But once the market solidified, the Twins remained (as you put it) rigid instead of adapting. Whether that meant offering Correa more money or pivoting while it was possible to acquire a Willson Contreras and/or a Chris Bassitt, I don't really care that much. That's where the discipline Jack mentioned comes into play; choosing to bow out of the Correa market or pay the requisite amount to have him seriously consider Minnesota. Either decision is a fine one, but the decision must be made. But the worst possible outcome is the one they find themselves right now. It's basically "Dansby Swanson or bust" and given the lack of options remaining, it's probably more accurately stated as "way overpay Dansby Swanson relative to his career performance or bust".

    Ken Rosenthal just tweeted this. I know fans LOVE to hate Boras and, to an extent, I get it... but he's doing his job. His role is to be the best advocate he can for his clients and he does an exceptional job of it. Nearly $1.2b this offseason. Wowza.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I’d also extend Joe Ryan. I mean, why not? Guarantee him $50m and you can probably get a year of FA and an option if he’s still good.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    That wouldn't surprise me, either. And I was never that particularly high on Rodon so I'm not gnashing my teeth over it. I was open to the Twins signing him but given his injury, he scares the hell out of me.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    That's really not an unreasonable amount for Rodon. That's the kind of deal the Twins could have easily signed.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Passan with the confirmation:
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Heyman jumped out a few minutes ago with a brief tweet that, if correct, means one of only two star (or close to star) free agents remaining has gone off the table. Left-hander Carlos Rodon, by all accounts pursued by the Minnesota Twins, will be donning pinstripes in the Bronx in 2023 and beyond. Any guesses on dollars and years? View full rumor
