    It's not that it's cherry-picking - hell, I don't even trust L/R splits over a full season, much less a partial - but having watched McCutchen play quite a bit last season, he had a pretty strong cooked vibe at the plate. Like I said, there's a chance he rebounds in 2023 but Milwaukee is a friendly place to hit and he didn't. I'd run with Garlick over acquiring McCutchen, though I want to see the Twins find a RHB outfielder better than both.

    Nope, hard pass. I watched him for the Brewers a lot last season. There's a chance he rebounds but he was acquired to be a lefty masher - the same role the Twins need this season - and McCutchen promptly posted a .738 OPS against LHP.

    Hayes and Gleeman of The Athletic have reported the Twins are possibly in pursuit of Michael Wacha. The 31-year-old right-hander bounced back nicely with the Red Sox in 2022 with a 127 ERA+ but due to his lack of strikeout ability, his 4.14 FIP mark trailed his results by a large margin. Wacha, a long-time St Louis Cardinal, was a solid starter through 2018, after which point he began to struggle, posting three consecutive well-below-average seasons. Weirdly, not long after his ERA began to rise, he cut way down on his walk rate. His decline falls in line with a drop in his fastball velocity; at his peak, he had a 94-95mph fastball that has dropped into the 93mph range over the past several seasons. Wacha would likely be available on a one-year deal, two at most. View full rumor

    There are so few data points that being concerned about this doesn't make sense. In fact, unless I'm forgetting something there's all of one data point on this. Byung-Ho Park. And he shared basically zero attributes with Ha-Seong Kim.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    I suspect that at this point, they're looking to stock the farm but who even can predict anything AJ Preller does.

    BTV is that high on Ober? Wow.

    Stuck the landing. Well done.

    More information about "Padres Open to Dealing Shortstop Ha-Seong Kim"
    The Padres have a glut of talented infielders and their situation only grew more complicated with the signing of Xander Boegarts earlier in the offseason. Unsurprisingly, reports are now emerging that they're taking calls on young shortstop Ha-Seong Kim. The return on Kim would likely be significant. He's 27 years old and under team control through the 2026 season. In only 267 games played, Kim has accumulated 7.1 bWAR, including 5.1 in 2022 alone. Kim was a standout player in the KBO (Korean Baseball Organization), where he played nearly 900 games while posting an .866 OPS. The Padres signed him out of the KBO only two years ago and it's not a stretch to suggest he may not be happy with a bench role given his MLB production thus far. What would it take to trade for Kim?

    Welcome to Twins Daily! Also LOL at that username.

    You mean the title that clearly states "Preview"?
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    There weren't many/any "good" contracts handed out this offseason. But those are the realities of free agency and if a team is going to improve, they need to play in the same water as everyone else. Just pretending the baseball landscape didn't change is the one thing the Twins absolutely cannot do and that's exactly what they did this offseason.

    I’m not whining about anything, I was merely replying to your inane comment by pointing out that lots of people do lots of work so you have a place to shoot the breeze.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I have mountains of data that contradict basically everything you’ve said here. Your personal experiences and preferences are not universal.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    You coming here to shoot the breeze is definitely equivalent to me spending tens of thousands of hours over the past decade building out this platform and managing content.

    Sorry, we’re going to figure out a better way to call that out in the future. https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/caretakers/how-the-twins-may-have-contributed-to-jorge-lópezs-no-good-very-bad-stretch-exclusive-r13417/

    You’re absolutely right about the unapologetic part. Parker and Trueblood spend a ton of time researching and writing these pieces and deserve compensation for their effort.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    You're joking, right? Sano is going to be way cheaper than what the Twins just paid for Gallo.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    It makes absolutely no ****ing sense. I hate this deal so much.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins front office versus the Internet.

    More information about "Dan Hayes on How the Twins Can Pivot this Off-Season"
    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.
