  1. The Twins won't get much for Max and I'm okay with that. The org has so many left-handed corner OF and Max has worn out his welcome with me.
  2. There's a lot of money off the books right now and a front office that hasn't impressed me with an aggressiveness to go get "their guy". Color me skeptical. While in a vacuum trading Urshela isn't a terrible idea, I would have rather seen Kepler head out of Minnesota.
  3. You mean when they played in a Teflon dome and were in the bottom quarter of payroll constantly while their owner tried to fold the franchise? Yeah. Things changed a little.
  4. I think they've realized they need to alter their approach, at least in this particular case. They need a shortstop - a good shortstop - and if they use their previous approach, they'll end up acquiring a left fielder in January and miss out on every good shortstop.
  5. To be clear, if it's a starting point, it's an impressive offer. Better than I expected from this front office by a fair margin. But if it's their only offer, it won't get it done.
  6. I have semi-reliable information the Twins have made an offer to Correa. I'm not going to report the number, that will be on the front page soon, but it's a solid fifth-place offer. If it's a starting offer, it's pretty reasonable. If it's all the Twins offer, he's gone.
  7. No, she seems genuinely uncomfortable with baseball using FG’s stats to pay its players. It puts a scary amount of weight on their system that it wasn’t intended to be. What if they tweak their system and undervalue relievers for a couple of years? That could cost people literally tens of millions of dollars. And the WAR systems were never intended to be exact measures of performance, they’re more “shotgun” than “sniper rifle”. If MLB wants to pay based on WAR, they should hire the requisite people to create their own system with the MLBPA. They’re cheaping out and placing the burden on people who don’t want the responsibility.

  9. Meg Rowley, editor of FanGraphs and a seemingly fantastic person all around, has repeatedly stated she is not comfortable with people being paid based on a system FanGraphs created and tweaks constantly to provide as a resource to baseball fans. And she's right. This is a burden FG should not have to bear.
  10. In my blueprint, I ripped off the band-aid and put Winder directly into the MLB bullpen. I think that's where he's going to end up anyway, may as well do it now.
  11. That's a pretty risky roster. Why Julien at second when Arraez and Gordon exist?

  15. It’s fine. I was expecting something much more drastic and frankly, something much worse. I like the TC and want it to stick around. This modernization does that.
  16. I put their chances at maybe 5%. Remote to the point of not being a real consideration but also not impossible.
  17. Obviously, the Twins say they "want" to keep Correa but we've all heard this song and dance before. This interview gives little indication whether the Twins will actually be *competitive* in the Carlos Correa sweepstakes but at least they're talking about it as if it's a real possibility. This doesn't change my opinion whether the Twins have a real shot at keeping him or not but at least they're not already moving on and trying to convince the fanbase that's in the best interest of the franchise. What do you believe the odds are the Twins will have Carlos Correa on the 2023 Opening Day roster? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/twins-rumors-carlos-correa-jim-pohlad-owner.html View full rumor

  19. You’re missing the point. The 2018 Red Sox also cheated. https://www.si.com/.amp/mlb/2020/04/22/red-sox-sign-stealing-scandal
  20. For sure. His arm will keep him more defensively viable as he ages.
  21. I agree with all of this. First and foremost it'd be pretty foolish to take Correa off short and he knows that as much as anyone. I'm sure there's a pride component mixed in there but it's also just the right decision to make.
