    The roster (and organizational) teardown seems almost complete. The Pohlads extended Falvey, likely so he could help continue to navigate a sale of the franchise. In my view, the responsibility for the franchise's ultimate success rests with ownership and the business side. And, the teardown may continue into the off-season, perhaps with Cory's predictions about Pablo Lopez and Byron Buxton coming true. With Pohlad ownership, we're in a chicken-and-egg situation, with the Pohlad's unwilling (perhaps unable) to spend money and a fan base that's not likely to return until the team starts winning again. Can a new manager (and his new staff) right the ship that Falvey has built and continues to build? It's unclear. As a long-time Twins fan and one who continues to hope and pray that things will get better, I'm struggling to be an optimist.

    My biggest question about Correa is whether the Twins (and their fans) will regret dedicating 25 percent of the payroll to a guy who will be on the shelf for good chunks of the next few years (SF and NY docs likely knew something). He’s great in spurts (which is better than not good at all), but when he’s down, the team suffers. I hope his future health is better than recent history would indicate …

    At least we got Tyler Mahle in return. 🙃

    Twins mound visits this year seem to be remarkably ineffective. Would be interested to see a comparison between teams and to Twins' previous years regarding outcomes following a MV. Seem heavily correlated with poor outcomes.

    U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi. Baseball at its NOT finest. What was it that Bryce Harper said about Bailey during Spring Training? https://www.si.com/mlb/twins/news/bryce-harper-praises-bailey-ober-good-luck-to-everyone-in-the-central Need to resurrect that BO.

    Still really like Polanco offensively, but ... https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/stats?season=2019&category=FIELDING&group=1&sort=6&time=0&pos=0&qual=1&sortOrder=0&splitType=0&page=1&statID=0

    Agree that Buck needs to turn around his hitting to stay and that his defense is both difficult to measure and incredibly important to the game's flow. Need only look back to the Kepler error against Cleveland in the first inning that taxed Phil Hughes and Rosario's non-catch in center against Houston during their comeback. Buxton's not perfect nor can all fielders be expected to be perfect, but you have to appreciate the effect his catches have on the game and his pitchers.
