    Super-duper double-hard pass on this one, thanks.

    What I think you're not paying enough attention to with this post is how much immediate prospect upside the Twins have on the positional side of things and how little immediate prospect upside they have in the rotation. Losing Arraez hurts because he's a good player. But he's also a LHB that's limited defensively. He's kind of a bad fit at first base while Kirilloff is a natural fit. You can probably strap a big mitt on Trevor Larnach's right hand and he can figure it out, too. And the team still has Matt Wallner waiting in the wings and Royce Lewis a couple of months behind him. Perhaps by mid-season we're talking about Lee and/or Julien, too. I just listed a bunch of players. Now if you look to pitching, you have Woods Richardson. Winder. Sands. They're all interesting prospects but none of them profile to be a difference-making arm, especially fresh out of the minors. They're at least one - and probably two - steps below Lewis, Larnach, and Kirilloff and more of an equivalent of Wallner. That's why the Twins traded Arraez for a pitcher.

    It's a win now and win next year move. Lopez is more rotation insurance in 2023 and he'll be around in 2024 while Gray, Mahle, and Maeda enter free agency. The Twins can't possibly fill 3/5ths of their rotation with prospects by this time next year, which means they'd be right back to searching for 2+ more rotation arms next offseason.

    I hate to see Arraez go but this feels like a really good baseball move.

    Lewis missed the wall, landed wrong, and that's what caused the injury. Missing the wall and landing off-balance is a pretty good way to do it wrong IMO.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a fluke. Lewis injured himself by failing to jump into the wall, and he likely failed because no one has asked him to jump into a wall before so he didn’t know how to do it. With that said, Farmer has all of spring to get up to speed on playing OF, he won’t be thrust into it basically overnight.

    That's why we pay Parker the big bucks. But seriously, so happy to see Parker writing about the Twins again. His stuff is always next-level.

    Welcome to Twins Daily! I didn't realize Disability Pride Day was something they did in 2022 but sure enough, there it is on the calendar. Right now, all they're showing on the special events page is "check back soon". https://www.mlb.com/twins/tickets/specials

    Oh, insurance is absolutely involved but my understanding is that their process with doctors and evaluation is separate from what we're talking about with the Giants' and Mets' doctor. By the way, the Twins were able to insure Correa's contract. I believe Boras made a smart-ass remark about it at the press conference, implying the Twins could magically get him insured but the Giants and Mets could not.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Again, my understanding is that they didn't ask anyone else except him, at least that's what Boras and Correa strongly implied. Sure, talk to the guy, but what is the point of pursuing Correa if he's the only guy you're going to talk to? He already stated his opinion on Correa's ankle.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    But you already know what he said. Why ask him again?
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Teams. The insurance policies are a completely different thing, in my understanding.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    My understanding is that he's the only doctor the Mets used.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I think the entire Mets situation feels skeezy as hell. The more we find out, the skeezier it seems. After the dust has settled, Correa landing with the Twins seemed inevitable, as they were the only front office seemingly on the up-and-up. The trust they established with Correa over the past year likely paid big dividends.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    What I find weirdest about this situation is that the Mets, after Correa's deal with the Giants fell through, turned around and called the same doctor the Giants used. What outcome did they expect, really?
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, the Gallo signing irks me far less in the wake of the Correa signing. It was a fine move - basically use Gallo to replace Kepler and then dish Max for something else. But in that moment, it felt like the front office was just spending money because they had money. Thankfully the biggest free agent circus in history came to town and they were able to do something with the rest of that money.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    At this point, Gallo's upside is astronomically higher than McCutchen's upside. I didn't really like the Gallo signing - particularly the way the offseason was going at that point - but I watched 100 games of McCutchen last season. I have little interest in seeing him play more.

    More information about "Twins Offered McCutchen Same Money - and Mets Offered More - But He Chose to "Go Home""
    It was widely known that Andrew McCutchen was sought after as a righty bat that could play a decent corner outfield - even in his older, diminished state from earlier stardom - but after a long career that saw him play in San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee - it appears he just wanted to go home to Pittsburgh. Which makes a lot of sense given how he came up through the Pirates system and thrived there during his prime seasons, becoming one of the best players in baseball. To add a "farewell tour" vibe to the equation, Buster Olney of ESPN pointed this out earlier today: It would have been nice to see McCutchen fill a badly-needed void in the Twins roster but it's hard to argue with that reasoning.

    Perfection.

    This isn't real, locking it. The guy has 14 followers and is likely a bot.

    Brutal.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Well said. Bauer is a notorious problem in the clubhouse and on the field. And that was before the sexual misconduct allegations. And it appears he hasn't changed even a little bit. If anything, now he's more vocal. Hard pass as hard as one can pass on something.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I mean, this is a way to spend money. Is it a good way? No. Is it an efficient way? Definitely no. But it is a way.
