    Thomas Harding of MLB.com reported today the Rockies are interested in acquiring a lefty-hitting outfielder, preferably one who can play all three outfield positions. Max Kepler hasn't played center field in a few years - and reportedly doesn't like playing the position - but is widely considered capable of being a spot starter up the middle. With only one year remaining on his contract, he's a relatively low-cost addition that could shore up the Rockies' lineup while also covering enormous ground in the spacious Coors Field grass. Additionally, the Twins also have Trevor Larnach waiting in the wings and now at 26 years old, he needs a chance to play on a consistent basis. Should the Rockies balk at Kepler's salary or prospect cost, the Twins could consider moving Larnach in his place. View full rumor

    I reuploaded those broken images, let me know if you see them now.

    They did vote all at once, the votes had to be in before New Year's Day, I believe (or somewhere close to that time). Writers are only deciding whether to make their votes public right now, all votes have been cast for a week.

    Huh, weird. Again, those are in place on the server, no idea why they're not rendering.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Interesting, thanks. I'm looking in the admin panel and those images are definitely there, could be a local issue. If this is still happening to you in say three-ish days, pop back into this thread and let me know, I'll investigate further.

    As a long-time SoCal resident, I also feel this way about "Cali", a term I've never heard come out of the mouth of an actual Californian.

    Some of you may have noticed your avatars are broken. The weirdest thing happened... they just disappeared from the server. They're not in any of the backups, they're just gone. If this has happened to you, just upload a new avatar and it will work as expected.

    This hasn't been updated in awhile. 100 ballots now in for 28% of the total votes. Adrián Beltré 98.1% Joe Mauer 83.2% Todd Helton 83.2% Billy Wagner 80.4%

    I don't know if Larnach has much value at this point and Miranda has certainly cratered, at least temporarily. Personally, I'd keep both and trade both Kepler and Polanco. Maybe Larnach is never good again but it's something I'd like to find out before trading him for little to nothing. And I think Miranda is going to bounce back nicely with the bat, though he's still a defensive albatross.

    Welcome to 2024, everyone! Can the offseason start for reals now? The Twins have made no moves of note thus far in the "hot stove" season and it's still expected they will trade infielder Jorge Polanco. MLB Trade Rumors wrote an excellent breakdown of Polanco's best landing spots so check it out. The piece highlights the Blue Jays, Cubs, and Mariners as the best fit, as they're including Polanco as a potential third baseman in their evaluation. For example, the Cubs already have a dynamic duo up the middle in Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson but also have a gaping hole at third base. In the following tier - we'll call it "good fit" - the piece talks about the Brewers, Giants, and Marlins. The Brewers are of particular interest in this conversation, as they're floating the idea they will move Corbin Burnes this winter. View full rumor

    We happened to have a brief discussion about this and while there's a lot more to talk about, small changes will be coming to how we manage caretaker content. Don't know when it will happen, though. This time of year has many of us pointed in different directions as we prepare for the Winter Meltdown, plan Spring Training, launch new features, etc.

    I will put this conversation on my list of things to address but probably not this week.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Anyway, this is a topic worth revisiting and improving but that will require a discussion and some time and most of us are taking time away during the holiday break.

    For the record, posting here IS the best way to get a response. I receive notifications for all threads started in this forum while I rarely read article comments.

    A fine but underwhelming option.

    I suspect the HoF voting has always been this way but now that we have visibility, it probably needs to change. I have quite a bit of tolerance for dissenting ballots; voting for people you think should be in and others not, maybe having some personal quirks that others don't. We all work within a spectrum. But there are ballots that are just absolute ****ing trash. No votes, one vote + two Phillies from a Philly beat guy (literally happened today), voting for Vizquel but leaving most of the ballot empty, it just goes on. And these people seem to be PROUD of taking their votes so unseriously. These are the people broadcasting their votes publicly, probably either because they believe in them (wrong) or because they strive for clout (somehow even more wrong). What's even happening with the ballots we don't see? It's probably time to change the system, what we have now has led to capriciousness and inward thinking. That's not what this is supposed to be about.

    I've spent the past couple of weeks with dark mode, identifying and fixing small display bugs along the way. If you see display errors while using dark mode, please share them here.

    To say it has been a quiet offseason for the Minnesota Twins is an understatement. The front office began talking about payroll uncertainty almost the moment the World Series was complete and virtually nothing has happened in the month+ since. Jon Morosi tweeted today that the front office is still interested in dealing both Max Kepler (one year remaining until free agency) and Jorge Polanco (one year plus one option year until free agency) but no teams have been closely linked to either player. It's likely the Twins will also be interested in fielding offers for utility man Kyle Farmer and catcher Christian Vazquez. This makes sense, as many felt certain dominos needed to fall in a specific order before a trade market could emerge: Shohei Ohtani needed to sign. Yoshinobu Yamamoto needed to do the same. This will open the door for some of the position player free agents to find homes, after which teams that missed out on free agency can pursue trades. Long story short, don't expect anything to happen before we welcome the new year two weeks from now. View full rumor

    All of this. If the Twins are confident they can improve Priester, I make this move in a heartbeat. As it stands right now staring at a stat line, hard pass. Which is why specific trade proposals are always fraught with uncertainty. Priester was very highly regarded just 12 months ago. He was a punching bag in 2023. How the Twins view him is everything in this situation and none of us staring at a FanGraphs page has a real idea how to value this trade.

    The article is about excuse-making by the Giants and Rosenthal's broadcasting of those excuses. The article does a good job of counter-balancing Posey's opinion with actual events that happened surrounding Aaron Judge, Carlos Correa, Shohei Ohtani, and many others.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    This thread is (rather unsurprisingly) going off the rails. Please stop debating crime statistics, this piece was about Rosenthal and the Giants blowing smoke and how their rationale doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Keep it on topic.
