I agree with what everyone is saying. Why protect him?
-
Cleveland? Detroit? San Diego?
-
Well, one has reached his peak and will only get worse while the other may never be great but has some upside ... I think.
-
We might be more of Zebby and Festa than we want to in 2025.

"We are talking about a very small group of individuals that can do this." It's not as small as it used to be.

Ranking the Twins’ Worst Base Runners in 2024
purplesoldier4u replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
YES! -
I'm not so sure. As I've stated previously, the expanded TC media market is approximately 4.5 million strong and advertising futures will drive the value of the deal. It always astounded me how the Padres were able to negotiate a substantially better deal with the then FSN RSN than the Twins. Not only is their immediate market smaller but so is their expanded one!
-
For those who don't fear the team being moved, look at the St. Louis Rams situation. Not exactly apples-to-apples, but the value of the vastly increased revue opportunity outweighed any possible legal ramifications. If the team is sold, I hope the fist person terminated is the bloviating self-promoter, Dave St. Peter!

The cash cow is never gone, look at the NFL and NBA. MLB needs to change and the first place to start in to cut the season down to about 120 games and make sure the right owners are with teams in the right markets. That being the case, MLB teams still bring in a $100+ million in national revenue alone, but due to a few large market teams not wanting to share, the national deals will never explode like other leagues; hell, even the NHL is finally beginning to understand that

Some day, Calos Correa will make a great first-baseman and/or DH!
-
I'm not sure that isn't the a major difference in elite athletes.
-
For a big as he was, he did pretty good. Sadly, had he taken better care of himself, he would have had a near HoF career ... not that those things mattered to him.

Skimming the scrap heap, once again?
-
No excuses. Play like a champion.

For the sake of blaming the owners, the front office, the manager/coaches, and the players, one might say that the parenthetical chickens have come home to roost. Coming into this season, it appeared there was absolutely no formidable business plan, only hopes, prayers, and wishes.
-
"For some, this fade--a second one in three years, whether it ends as badly as 2022 did or not--is confirmation that Baldelli is not a good manager. I disagree, vehemently. However, this tendency to struggle late in seasons--to go along with the grind and let it wear them to a nub, which we saw even to some extent in 2019 and 2020--does seem to be a pattern for his teams. That might be because, given the shape of the team they're trying to build, the organization has chosen the wrong model for the manager role." Umm, okay.
-
If this team's future is one of Buxton and Correa being part-time players, we can expect more of the same ... especially if the owners keep the budget as low as this season.

Zebby's last game was tough. Sometimes, and it's very early in his MLB career, it's good to get that eye-opening game to use as motivation.
-
"Not Rocco's fault. Not Falvey and Levine's fault." They should share some of the blame. "That leaves ownership." Wherein most of the blame lies. " ... it’s a wonder these guys can even play .500." Thankfully, there are teams as medicocre, or worse, than the Twins! All said, there have been some pleasant discoveries, in unexpected areas, and that is a positive.

I hope he wears inserts!

Why are the Twins Waiting on Louie Varland?
purplesoldier4u replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Still missing Sonny Gray. 🥺 -
St. Peter is eager to sign another bad deal.
-
"Similarly to the Twins, the Guardians face payroll limitations because of their market size." Nonsense. The Royals, Padres, and Tigers have significantly higher payrolls than the Twins and Indians. Both teams couls easily afford to be in the $85m range, they just choose not to. Clevland has the youngest team in the league and could make a serious run at a title if the spent $20m+ more!
-
"Eventually, the Twins took a one-year deal to return to Diamond Sports because it brought in an estimated $40-45 million." Try $46.8m, plus the limited media MLB rights pool the CBA negotiated. The Twins spend a few year trying to convince the fans that the RSN revenue was about $43m when it was actually just under $56m, so I wouldn't trust them if they told us what the compensatory amount was.
