    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.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    I have mountains of data that contradict basically everything you’ve said here. Your personal experiences and preferences are not universal.
  5. 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.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    You're joking, right? Sano is going to be way cheaper than what the Twins just paid for Gallo.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    It makes absolutely no ****ing sense. I hate this deal so much.

    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.

    Cool cool, this just means the five of us can get extra drunk at dinner the night before.

    Excellent post, Ash. And what you outlined here is why I've stayed well clear of "the Twins were played" or other implications of them being, well, stupid in some way. In the words of LMM... I believe they mis-read the market but I think a lot of baseball mis-read the market going into November. But once the market solidified, the Twins remained (as you put it) rigid instead of adapting. Whether that meant offering Correa more money or pivoting while it was possible to acquire a Willson Contreras and/or a Chris Bassitt, I don't really care that much. That's where the discipline Jack mentioned comes into play; choosing to bow out of the Correa market or pay the requisite amount to have him seriously consider Minnesota. Either decision is a fine one, but the decision must be made. But the worst possible outcome is the one they find themselves right now. It's basically "Dansby Swanson or bust" and given the lack of options remaining, it's probably more accurately stated as "way overpay Dansby Swanson relative to his career performance or bust".

    That wouldn't surprise me, either. And I was never that particularly high on Rodon so I'm not gnashing my teeth over it. I was open to the Twins signing him but given his injury, he scares the hell out of me.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    That's really not an unreasonable amount for Rodon. That's the kind of deal the Twins could have easily signed.

    Passan with the confirmation:

    Heyman jumped out a few minutes ago with a brief tweet that, if correct, means one of only two star (or close to star) free agents remaining has gone off the table. Left-hander Carlos Rodon, by all accounts pursued by the Minnesota Twins, will be donning pinstripes in the Bronx in 2023 and beyond. Any guesses on dollars and years? View full rumor

    MLBTR did a really nice dive on the possible and likely landing spots for shortstop Dansby Swanson with the Cubs, Twins, and Braves leading the way. The Cubs have seemingly been high on Swanson from day one but their continued reluctance to spend to their market size could prevent them from nabbing the shortstop whose bat broke out in 2022 (but also lacks the track record to make a 6+ year contract a no-brainer decision). The Twins... well, I don't think any of us know what to expect from them and I remain unconvinced Swanson is worth a six-year risk, much less the seven or more years he may receive in this wild offseason. It's also hard to imagine the Braves not making at least a cursory attempt to retain their starting shortstop, especially given their financial flexibility after locking up half their roster at bargain basement prices.

    Okay, this is the second complaint I’ve seen about this today. If anyone sees this happen (full screen ads), screen shot and PM me the screenshot. I have interstitial ads disabled because they’re so annoying; users should never see them.
