    More information about "Yankees Discussing Trading for Twins Outfielders"
    Joel Sherman of the New York Post mentioned today that the Yankees are discussing trading for an outfielder with the Twins and Diamondbacks, possibly to stay under a luxury tax tier. The Twins have a glut of outfield options currently in the majors and high minors. They need to find spots for the likes of Max Kepler, Nick Gordon, Alex Kirilloff, Trevor Larnach, and Matt Wallner. In case you're not good at counting, that's a lot of outfielders. More than three. The Yankees system has a bunch of enticing names that surely interest the Twins. And we all know how well trading an outfielder to the Yankees has worked for the Twins in the past. But still, this deal could make a lot of sense for both teams if done well. John Ryan Murphy was unavailable for comment as this story was published.

    Yes. But really, it is both. We LOVE the Meltdown and bringing everyone together. On the other hand, online advertising is in a state that makes us feel a little squishy about its long-term potential. Having a subscriber base stabilizes the site's income and our ability to pay our creators.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    I think you proposed that awhile back in another thread. I really like that idea.

    My point is that owners are the only people who can "fix" baseball inequity. Until revenue is properly shared, this problem will continue to exist. As long as the Dodgers are getting $250m a year from a TV contract while the Brewers are getting $40m, baseball stays broken.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Share local television revenue. Problem solved.

    You can buy into being a caretaker for as little as $6/month, which is literally $34 LESS than the price of a ticket. And then you get free publications multiple times a year, weekly in-depth analysis from the likes of Matt Trueblood and Parker Hageman, etc... if you're planning to go to the Meltdown, becoming a caretaker is close to a no-brainer.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Even if you take a relatively low ticket price like $25, that's roughly $30m before you factor in concessions and whatnot.

    At this point I wonder how much what Cohen is doing is pressuring Steinbrenner to step up and act more like his dad when it comes to the pocketbook.

    You know what? I retract my former comment. This section is new and I'm just feeling out how it should work. Bogaerts was considered a Twins target by pretty much everybody. This absolutely should be in the rumors section. Now when deGrom signed, not so much. The Twins were never linked to him... but many considered Bogaerts a real option, which means him coming off the board should be posted as a rumor.

    It should also be pointed out that over the span of 2020-2022, he played... *checks notes* 178 games.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    His bat is much more palatable if he's occasionally playing center against righties to rest Buxton or fill in when Byron is injured. That's really the core of my problems with Max. As a hitter, he is who he is at this point. I can deal with that if he's bringing more defensive versatility to the team and helping in center field so Rocco doesn't have to play Celestino every game during Buxton's inevitable IL stints.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh boy, that's a good question. Maybe it's being overplayed by people but I've heard Gleeman mention it a few times and it has just kind of seeped into our collective consciousness. I vaguely recall him saying he doesn't like to play center but maybe I'm just making that up to build a narrative. If anyone out there remembers where this all started, I'd love to see it. Maybe I'm inflating what has actually been said.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    I wouldn't be as down on Kepler as I am if he'd pull the stick out of you-know-where and just agree to play centerfield when Buxton is inevitably injured. It REALLY bugs me that he seems so resistant to playing there.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    At this point I'm convinced the Pohlads own a controlling interest in Tums.

    In a rundown of post-Winter Meeting events, Gleeman and Hayes (if you're not subscribing to The Athletic for this duo, you should do so) talk about several items but specifically call out the fact that Kepler is drawing trade interest. Alongside Luis Arraez, the Twins appear to be shopping the right fielder to secure more pitching depth. To me, this makes a ton of sense. I think teams will be (irrationally) high on Kepler due to his continual under-performance of metrics like BABIP and with the looming shift reduction happening, this might be the time to move on from Kepler. With players like Larnach, Kirilloff, and Wallner looming, having yet another left-handed corner outfielder on the roster makes less sense by the day. View full rumor

    Yeah, no worries. I'm just trying to lay out why the section exists and how to use it.

    He had a 138 OPS+ and 3.29 FIP in 2021. In the shortened 2020 season he had a 3.09 FIP.

    We should all be skeptical of new sources and I was *very* skeptical of this report but I'm hearing rumblings that Ted might be on the right track here, if not exactly correct on the names and pieces.

    I like to swagger into Jaguar dealerships, flop down a fiver, and say "give me the best car on the lot" just to show everyone who's boss around here.

    Listen, I lived in SD for almost a decade. The Chargers and Clippers didn't leave because SD was "too small of a market", the Chargers left because the city of SD refused to hand them a brand new stadium and the Clippers left 40 years ago because Los Angeles is right there. The Clippers were barely a San Diego franchise at all, they lasted about half a decade and the market never really warmed to them. Had the franchise stuck around as the NBA blew up in the late 80s, they might still be a San Diego team. And the owner was Donald ****ing Sterling, one of the worst owners in modern sports history. And the cable subscription rates for the TC have been low for decades now. I remember talking about these numbers in the early 2000s. The Twins have very little or nothing to do with subscription rates. San Diego is roughly parallel to the Twin Cities in market size. What they lose in overall population they make up with sheer wealth of population and massive real estate holdings. Right now, the Twins are dealing with a really bad TV contract that expires after this season while San Diego just signed a massive contract. One team is working through a legacy contract while the other is reaping the rewards of a new contract. Will that gap close in the next couple of years? I hope so but I'm not exactly holding my breath.

    I'm not diminishing how the Padres are embarrassing the rest of mid- and small-market baseball right now (I love it) but San Diego is not a smaller market than the Twins. First, the Padres have no local competition in their market. They're a one-sport town now. Second, the population of the San Diego metro is almost identical to the TC metro. Sure, Minnesota has some fringe population in ND/SD but that's hardly worth mentioning in the grand scheme of things, particularly when discussing discretionary spending. Third, surrounding Petco are massive real estate developments... all owned by the Padres. Fourth, the TC metro has one of the lowest cable subscription rates in the country. That really hurts the Twins in comparison to how most teams generate revenue now.
