    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.

    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 usually drop a twenty on the counter at Dior.

    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.

    For the record, this shouldn't be posted as a rumor. If someone is actually going to a team and it's being confirmed, that's just a thread.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    That is pure ****ing insanity.

    Hayes and Gleeman with an update on Correa. They're talking up the Padres, who seemed like they were out and now may be back in. And, of course, the Giants are still very much in play. https://theathletic.com/3980840/2022/12/07/twins-carlos-correa-winter-meetings/

    People are making far too big of a deal out of the less-unbalanced schedule next year. It's not a balanced schedule, it's just a little less unbalanced. Instead of playing 19 games versus division opponents, everyone will play 14-ish games versus division opponents. In the end, that's probably worth 1-2 wins if you play in the AL East and 1-2 losses if you play in the AL Central. It's not going to move the needle much for the Twins because instead of playing some bad teams (and one good team), you play mediocrity (as in the entirety of the NL, which comes out to around .500). In 2022, the rest of the AL Central had a .469 winning percentage. The entire NL had a .499 winning percentage.

    Narvaez is also my first choice but Vazquez has a .682 career OPS against RHP. That's not terrible and about .070 higher than Jeffers' career number.

    Doogie reported that the Twins have offered free agent catcher Christian Vazquez a contract. The long-time Red Sox player is entering his age 32 season and should come at a considerable discount over the recently signed Willson Contreras. But unlike Contreras, Vazquez is known for a steady hand behind the dish and an excellent arm. With the Twins' desire to split time with Ryan Jeffers, signing someone like Vazquez makes a lot more sense than breaking open the piggy bank for a top-flight catcher like Contreras. View full rumor

    An interesting thing to think about is that I heard it mentioned that the Dodgers are currently under the luxury tax penalty. And that means they get to reset several years of penalties if they stay under it. That in itself could be encouragement for them to stay quiet this offseason.

    A lot to sort out here but quite a bit of good news mixed in. The Dodgers appear to be out on Correa, as they're not keen on spending that kind of money on a player their fanbase loathes. The Giants are still in after missing out on Judge, as are the Twins. He believes the Cubs are a long shot, though mentions the Padres possibly being in, which contradicts what I heard elsewhere where the Pads were "Turner or bust", which is baffling given how they already have Tatis Jr coming back this season. Boegarts and the Red Sox appear to be back at the negotiating table so that's good news as well. And given that the Yankees just broke the bank with retaining Judge, it's hard to see them doubling down for Correa, especially given their apparent faith in their farm system at short. All in all, this seems pretty promising. I think it's going to be Giants vs Twins with no clear favorite. View full rumor

    I wonder if at dinner, the Twins offered Correa an extra opt-out if he picked up the check. I kid, I kid. (kind of)
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I don't see that happening unless he co-headlines the deal with someone like Lee or maybe even Kirilloff.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    No way does Arraez alone net Woodruff, much less Burnes.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Agreed. I'd much rather have Correa and Bogaerts should demand less money and years so he's more appealing in that capacity.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Frankly, I don't think a team should care about 10 vs. 11 years. It's a long ****ing time either way.

    Trea Turner to the Phillies. I do not know if this is good or bad for the Twins with Correa.
