    Isn't that typical of teams that have lost the voice and respect of leadership? In this case, leadership could be defined as the manager, the, coaches, the front office, or the ownership. Maybe Correa was part of the problem?

    Thinking back, this is about how I felt when it was announced the North Stars were leaving. Obviously, I was much younger then and a bigger NHL fan than I am now, but it was like watching a disaster movie in slow-motion. Losing Correa didn't bother me. I was super-excited to have him here, but he just didn't seem to click. The trades of Duran, Jax and Varland were disappointing because we always wanted that kind of bullpen and now we don't. It's going to cost more to rebuild it than it was to keep them. The fact that we received no immediate-impact offensive players makes it sting even more. I guess we should have seen it coming in 2023, and maybe we did, though It seems, as TK once proclaimed, "hope for the best and expect the worst ... " and we all hoped for the best. Though I have a bad feeling that once the season is over, Joe Ryan, Pablo Lopez, and Ryan Jeffers will be gone, leaving Buxton and whomever. Also, if there is no ownership change, why would we have any hopes for the future. Maybe I should be happy that I was able to watch and join in celebration of the 1987 and 1991 championships ... ones that seem so far away. I never post anything so in-depth, but it just burns me that we, the fans, were treated with such disrespect. Then again, we're profit centers and not much more, so why should I expect to be treated any better? Oh well, it's NFL season. On to better days as the Twins play out the remainder of the schedule. Maybe, just maybe, the team will be sold to an ownership group with deep pockets that really wants to win. Maybe the team will get a better TV deal. As the say, hope springs eternal, especially in spring training. Let's hope for better days! Always and forever, an aging Minnesota Twins fan.

    In all that movement, did the Twins acquire even one top-50 MLB prospect?
  4. purplesoldier4u
    Did we get an athletic player at all?
  5. purplesoldier4u
    All this young "talent" with Rocco and company to mold them into good MLB'ers? No chance.
  6. purplesoldier4u
    Let's not forget, the same family wanted to contact the team. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised.
  7. purplesoldier4u
    This is ridiculous! I hope they don't draw a thousand fans to any of the remaining games!
  8. purplesoldier4u
    Getting a mid-level speedster, like Kendall George, would be okay.
  9. purplesoldier4u
    I believe this was started by a Reddit user and Nightengale ran with it. No way Houston takes Correa back unless the Twins eat a bunch of dollars.
  10. purplesoldier4u
    Says the guy with the "Fire Dan Gladden" moniker.
  11. purplesoldier4u
    Might as well trade the rest of the bullpen because we won't need them for the next couple of years. I bet Buxton and the gang feel super psyched about the future, especially with Falvey and Rocco in control of this Pohlad production of this summertime disaster!
  12. purplesoldier4u
    I'm surprised they didn't. 😂
  13. purplesoldier4u
    What makes you think they have any ability to transform anybody?
  14. purplesoldier4u
    A middling 23 year old prospect and an undersized catcher who's defense is a "work in progress" and is an okay hitter? Not good, but at least they'll be cheap.
  15. purplesoldier4u
    Yeah, but we got a basket of day old bagels.
  16. purplesoldier4u
    If I'm the Twins, I ask for three of the top-5 prospects, and a couple other players. If any team balks, I say, "buh-bye." Ryan is a top-10 pitcher with two more years of control, yes? You don't move players like that!
  17. purplesoldier4u
    Prielipp's 2020 season at Alabama is crazy! 21 IP and 5 hits! Hahaha!
  18. purplesoldier4u
    Or, perhaps, Brad Radke. Judging by the dunderheads calling ball &s strikes, a pitcher that lives on outer reaches of the strike zone might be onto something.
  19. purplesoldier4u
    Meh.
  20. purplesoldier4u
    Talk about an earth-shaking move! I think all of baseball is rattled by this transaction!
  21. purplesoldier4u
    Why not a guy like John Klein? I know they would prefer a lefty, but the fans and team would prefer someone who can get people out. You cannot possibly tell me that Misiewicz was the only viable option!
  22. purplesoldier4u
    Yes, sir!
  23. purplesoldier4u
    The bigger elephant in the room is Correa! At the plate, he looks like he just came up from rookie ball, and his defense no longer outpaces his ineptitude at the plate.
  24. purplesoldier4u
    With all due respect, Nick, what the heck are you talking about?
  25. purplesoldier4u
    Other than Buxton, Ryan, and Lopez, I'm not sure there are any players another team would give up premium talent for.
