  1. Varde is more of investment group with the emphasis on investment. I believe their goal will be to make the Twins a more valuable asset.
  2. Gardy had some darn good players under him! His problem was his love for the "BYTO" type of guys that shouldn't be starters. Then again, I guess Mauer, Morneau, Hunter, Cuddyer, Santana, Cuddyer, Liriano, Kubel, Radke, Nathan, Jones, Guzman, Koskie, Mientkiewicz, Thome, etc. were all not that great after all.
  3. Probably the worst of worst available, but I wish him well.
  4. Huh? Dave Roberts may be the most overrated manager of the decade! I would guess almost any other MLB manager would leave their respective job to manage the Dodgers!
  5. He has a lot of experience in what not to do. I think Rowson did a great job of fixing what Brunansky helped to break. Would Morneau be interested in a coaching position?
  6. Servais is the uncle of a friend of mine. Maybe free tickets ... if he's hired!
  7. The Twins, and seemingly the fans, seem to have a sweetheart bond to this guy. Let him go!
  8. I think that their "expanded media market" is on par with mid-major markets. Again, look at San Diego's payroll, their in a smaller media market than the Twins, but the spend and rewarded for it. With Seattle transitioning to a Twins-like media deal, let's see how they deal with their spending. I wonder how much input DStP has?
  9. I vote for Cruz, but maybe Wes Johnson or James Rowson? Maybe one the hot NCAA coaches/managers?
  10. I wonder if Wes Johnson is available ... maybe Jay Johnson? Maybe the staff of Vandy, Florida, or Texas? Nelson Cruz? This team needs something different, and if they even hint at Toby Gardenhire, I'm done!
  11. Why would you think that. O's fans couldn't wait for him to be gone and believe he mismanaged to deepest young talent pool in baseball.
  12. If I owned the Twins, Pablo and Ryan are not traded. A team with two solid starters, Buxton, and a maturing Lewis and Lee could provide a shot at a .500 record. However, if they drop out of contention by the 2026 deadline, start unloading everyone. This team absolutely cannot start next season with the always overrated Ober as their number one! That would be a death knell for the season, attendance, and ratings. Let's face it, the Pohlad ownership deserves everything they are receiving, but I still want to hopeful for 2026.
  13. SWR, Martin, and Pereda might be locking themselves into MLB roster spots next season. Pereda looks like the best defensive catcher we've had in years and he's hit a little too. SWR and Martin, tow guys that I wrote off, seem to be working hard to earn the team's trust.
  14. Meh. Just another day at the ballpark for this sad looking organization. Let's hope some big off-season is forthcoming for all of the teams.
  15. Kody freakin' Clemens ... who would have thought? Three bombs in a game and nineteen for the season! If he and Outman didn't have so many bad at-bats, they could become really dangerous hitters! Watching the Royals reminded he how good "quality" AB's be. Th power is there, they just need to tone down the ugly swings, I guess.
  16. Let's not forget Buxton and Joe Ryan, who, along with Pablo Lopez, are the only legitimate players on this team. Keaschall is good, as is Martin, Jeffers, and (half the time) Wallner, Lee, Larnach, and Lewis. Sadly, the bullpen is Cole Sands and nobody else. Despite Gasper's clutch hit, he's among a chosen few that belong nowhere near an MLB roster. He is actively competing for that title with Outman, Julien, Fitzgerald, Clemens, Keirsey, and the remaining bullpen members not named Sands, but especially the completely worthless Noah Davis!
  17. Ryan and Lopez will be traded, and why wouldn't they want to? Hopefully, they will both be worth multiple high-level prospects, but who knows?
