  1. It was a confluence of events that went wrong, led by former ownership. Peter Seidler was sick and knew he didn't have long to live so he greenlit the Padres' absurd spending over the past several years. And right near the end, Diamond Sports declared bankruptcy and stopped paying the Padres. That left them in a dire situation as they scrambled to cover guaranteed payroll expenses around the end of the 2023 season, IIRC.
  2. If you think the Twins are the only team with payroll concerns, you’re not really paying attention to the sport. The Padres had to take out a loan just to make payroll. Lots of teams - Milwaukee, Texas, Arizona - have remained payroll stagnant or gone backwards, all after quite successful seasons.
  3. I suspect that was a called bunt. It was one of the few situations where bunting for an out makes sense: you need one run and only one run.
  4. Yes it would. Just as this was immediately squashed. It was a technical mistake that never should have made it through editing.
  5. Oh for sure. What looked to be a potent collection of lefty bats has underperformed, almost to a man.
  6. I think it's supposed to end in the next hour.
  7. This is an incredibly stupid baseball game.
  8. No, this is unacceptable. I want to argue.
  9. Hey, didn't see him with a lead, now did you?
  10. Payamps has struggled this year, I don’t think we’ll see him with a lead.
  11. Yep, the starters. While Pablo has just been bad, Peralta has been infuriating to watch this season. He's dominant for a few innings and then just stops throwing competitive pitches for a couple of innings.
  12. Jason is one of our Brewer Fanatic writers. As for Yelich, it appears that a balky back was the root of a lot of his issues. It was never clear exactly why his swing changed but he started killing worms at an elite rate, which is not something you want to do as a hitter. A lot like late-career Joe Mauer, honestly. Last year, it showed signs of changing and this year, he's damned near MVP-level Yelich again.
  13. Oh yeah, I get it, I basically turned off the TV for four days and kept it off because I *badly* needed a break. Just a little surprising is all.
  14. No one has posted in the Twins forum all day? Just testing this to make sure it's still working.
  15. No pressure, Falvey. Just make a bunch of moves, get them all right, and don't spend an extra dollar.
  16. Per Dan Hayes (The Athletic) in his latest Twins roundup, the Twins are looking for starting pitching, targeting starters on expiring contracts. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as starting pitching is the team's biggest weakness heading into the trade deadline and the team has been payroll-constrained since their Bally Sports television deal expired after the 2023 season. It's unlikely the Twins are in a position to commit additional dollars to a starter beyond this season and even their ability to add significant payroll for the rest of this season is in question. There are two starters on expiring contracts that should be traded before the trade deadline: the Detroit Tigers' Jack Flaherty and the Toronto Blue Jays' Yusei Kikuchi. Both are on relatively inexpensive contracts and should be within the budget constraints of the Twins.
