    Jose Miranda is a massive overpay for a few months of Chapman.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    It is still the case and have been for decades.

    It feels like MLB is finally taking strides to fixing their broadcast problems. They literally hired a former network executive to figure out how to end blackouts and resolve some of these decades-old problems.

    Our partners at FOCO have announced the release of a really cool bobblehead and we'd like to share it with our Twins Daily users. The bobblehead is a celebration of Kirby Puckett's six (!) Silver Slugger Awards. This bobble is limited to only 96 units so you're getting something quite unique and special.

    If MLB takes over broadcasts, they'll likely do the same thing they did with the Padres: create a new channel that will be available on your current cable package.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Not currently, no. It's an additional fee but if you use cable, you're likely getting Padres games back in the SD market.

    Streaming details have been released and wow, they're impressive. Kudos to MLB for hitting the ground running. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-to-produce-broadcast-padres-games

    He crept back into the Twins Daily top 20 in the latest update with a #17 ranking. If he keeps this up, I could see him shooting back into the top ten with the mid-season update. https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-top-prospect-rankings/

    Interestingly, the writers and forums were split on 1/2 but tie goes to the writers so Lee remains atop the prospect leaderboard. The forums voted Lewis as #1. The very well-thought-out system that decided "tie goes to the writers" was painstakingly argued for 3.5 seconds in my head.

    If Ryan pitches like this going forward, the Twins might get like 15-20 wins for two months of a 41 year old Nelson Cruz. That’s an amazing return.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Huh. I hadn’t considered that aspect of it. Yeah, I guess that trade is still in more flux than I realized.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    I almost voted for the Urshela/Sanchez trade as the second-best but ultimately the Odorizzi trade was so lop-sided that it won. I’d put that Yankees trade as the third-best, probably followed by the Duran trade. This front office has made several really nice trades amongst the clunkers.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    I’m purely evaluating these trades on the results. The thinking behind the Pressly trade was far more questionable for sure.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I’m not bashing the Mahle trade. I wholly supported it at the time. But given the results, it was an objectively bad trade.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    The Mahle trade is still worse because those prospects had value that could have been traded elsewhere. In return, the Twins essentially received zero value from Mahle. Actually negative value once you factor in his salary.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Best trade is Cruz for Ryan. Worst trade is Mahle. Those are easy. So let's do penultimate best and worst. Penultimate best is for Odorizzi. The Twins have really hosed the Rays of late. Penultimate worst is... oh, that's a tough one. Probably the Pressly trade? But that wasn't even that bad but there are a few meh/bad trades to choose from there.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Fixed the table so it's much more readable, though far from perfect.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Are people doing that? Sure, Castillo was available but not at the same price as Mahle. The Twins could have paid that price but the two pitchers weren't exactly equivalent. Either way, better decisions could have been made than Mahle, that much is clear.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    The results suck but this is what happens when a team continually trades to improve their big league club. You have to accept sub-optimal results on some trades, it's part of the process. It'd be nice if these things always worked out but they don't. Trades and front office moves need to be evaluated in the aggregate, not singularly. Even great organizations like the Rays make trades like the Cruz/Ryan trade. It's part of doing business in MLB.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    The thing about Gray is that if he keeps pitching at such a high level, he's going to want 4-5 years and there's no way I want him for more than three.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    It almost always ends up being a non-issue within a week or two.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    That feels really aggressive to me. It's certainly possible but I can't predict any timeline shorter than 14 months for Tommy John and effectiveness often isn't immediate. Say he gets the operation on May 15th. Fourteen months puts him at July 15th, 2023. And if it's 16 months - which is pretty typical even today - it's September 15th.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins and Yankees continue to be in an arms race over who made the biggest mistake of the 2022 trade deadline: Mahle vs. Montas.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Given that it's already approaching mid-May, I wouldn't worry about Mahle clogging up a rotation in 2024. The extension would have its eye on 2025.

    All these years later, I cannot see T-Pain's name without wanting to scream
