    Because the gambit is so much fun? Seriously, though, so many people are playing high-level chess in this situation that it's just fun to sit back and watch.

    Joel Sherman of the New York Post mentioned today that the Yankees are discussing trading for an outfielder with the Twins and Diamondbacks, possibly to stay under a luxury tax tier. The Twins have a glut of outfield options currently in the majors and high minors. They need to find spots for the likes of Max Kepler, Nick Gordon, Alex Kirilloff, Trevor Larnach, and Matt Wallner. In case you're not good at counting, that's a lot of outfielders. More than three. The Yankees system has a bunch of enticing names that surely interest the Twins. And we all know how well trading an outfielder to the Yankees has worked for the Twins in the past. But still, this deal could make a lot of sense for both teams if done well. John Ryan Murphy was unavailable for comment as this story was published. View full rumor

    Yes. But really, it is both. We LOVE the Meltdown and bringing everyone together. On the other hand, online advertising is in a state that makes us feel a little squishy about its long-term potential. Having a subscriber base stabilizes the site's income and our ability to pay our creators.

    You can buy into being a caretaker for as little as $6/month, which is literally $34 LESS than the price of a ticket. And then you get free publications multiple times a year, weekly in-depth analysis from the likes of Matt Trueblood and Parker Hageman, etc... if you're planning to go to the Meltdown, becoming a caretaker is close to a no-brainer.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Even if you take a relatively low ticket price like $25, that's roughly $30m before you factor in concessions and whatnot.

    Title correction: Padres Might Go After Literally Anyone, AJ Preller May Be Institutionalized

    At this point I wonder how much what Cohen is doing is pressuring Steinbrenner to step up and act more like his dad when it comes to the pocketbook.

    You know what? I retract my former comment. This section is new and I'm just feeling out how it should work. Bogaerts was considered a Twins target by pretty much everybody. This absolutely should be in the rumors section. Now when deGrom signed, not so much. The Twins were never linked to him... but many considered Bogaerts a real option, which means him coming off the board should be posted as a rumor.

    His bat is much more palatable if he's occasionally playing center against righties to rest Buxton or fill in when Byron is injured. That's really the core of my problems with Max. As a hitter, he is who he is at this point. I can deal with that if he's bringing more defensive versatility to the team and helping in center field so Rocco doesn't have to play Celestino every game during Buxton's inevitable IL stints.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh boy, that's a good question. Maybe it's being overplayed by people but I've heard Gleeman mention it a few times and it has just kind of seeped into our collective consciousness. I vaguely recall him saying he doesn't like to play center but maybe I'm just making that up to build a narrative. If anyone out there remembers where this all started, I'd love to see it. Maybe I'm inflating what has actually been said.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  22. 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.
