    Looks like coal for Christmas this year in Minnesota; plus, the neighbors won't want me burning any coal to keep warm. And it doesn't taste too good.

    Oh, well. Twins can probably afford Nathan Eovaldi and Elvis Andrus. Do we want them?
  3. Einheri
    Give Eovaldi a try.

    Near the end of the 2022 season, I thought maybe that the Twins could get Swanson for significantly less than Correa, but now I am no longer so sure of that. Either player would be nice, but Carlos has built-in we-know-him-already appeal, and he is a significant presence on and off the field. The team already likes him. And I think he's a better fit (and he's more likely to sign a contract to be in Minnesota). Still, neither player will come cheaply, and it's hard to imagine the Twins Organization paying high-price extended salaries for either of them. That said, I suspect that they have made a pretty good offer already for Correa, and I doubt that--beyond tweaking the specifics of it much further (opt outs, performance incentives, etc.)--their offer will change or increase much. So, it comes down to what the other teams offer him--and how long the Twins are willing to wait on him before they have to make other offers.

    Will the Twins pick up Gio Urshela's 3rd Arbitration year? He's currently making $6.5M or so. As Correa will opt out and Lewis isn't around for awhile (hopefully will be back healthy and soon), Gio could fill in at Shortstop in a pinch. Do the Twins plan to more Miranda back to 3rd or what? Lot of questions and who knows how healthy Arraez and Polanco will be?

    No one reasonably expected him to be a Twin in 2023 unless he got hurt or really sucked in 2022. Good luck to him.
  7. Einheri
    Unless someone really wants to trade for him, the Twins will play him in 2023. And, unless he really puts together a fantastic season, that's it for the Twins. And even if Max does do fantastic, that's probably it for the Twins, too. They won't risk signing him again to a big contract. If he does well at the plate, they'll certainly play him every day, otherwise, his play time will probably start diminishing next year, and he will start being the defensive replacement and 4th outfielder on the team. After that, well, if he signs for cheap, he can make several teams in 2024, possibly even the Twins.

    Such a sad ending to what had been a pretty average season.
  9. Einheri
    Guess it was good that I missed this one.

    I forget, didn't Boras have to share some of his agent money with another agency? And I think he wouldn't have to share that part of his cut if Correa signed a new contract. Boras then would want him to sign a new contract, even if it were one year at the same price. If I were the Twins, though, I'd probably stand pat. "Take the $35M and we'll be happy; otherwise, best of luck to you, Carlos."
  11. Einheri
    Yeah, the main issue is that these catchers DH. Stop that.
  12. Einheri
    If only… you know… both sides would be willing to renegotiate his contract so that it would be a fair compromise to both parties for the benefit of the team. Archer in the pen is a solution.
  13. Einheri
    Could have picked up La Tortuga about a week ago.
  14. Einheri
    Play him at 1B and DH. Likewise, use Luis Arraez at 1B, DH, and 2B. End the madness of having Jeffers DH when Sanchez is catching.
  15. Einheri
    Yeah, I can't really afford it. Can't afford to watch on TV. I listen on the radio, though.
  16. Einheri
    You've met our ownership and front office, haven't you? Rogers was making $7.3M this year. That was already too high for their tastes.
  17. Einheri
    Yeah, he's okay.
  18. Einheri
    Hmmm… kind of think that the point was to increase ticket sales short term, make it appear that the Twins would compete (as was said before the season began), give some time for either Lewis or Martin to prove themselves, and then trade off Correa when it became apparent the Twins wouldn't be in contention this year. Correa, though, by not hitting is doing his best to make sure that the Twins have him for the full three year contract.

    At last, the elephant in the room we've all been ignoring has finally been addressed.
  20. Einheri
    Convert him to a pitcher. No hits after 19 at bats would look fantastic.
  21. Einheri
    Yeah, I figured that Winder was held in reserve all weekend to go long relief for whichever starter, if any, faltered. But, so far, starting pitching has been okay. All four of those games were winnable.
  22. Einheri
    I'm under on most because I think the front office will be sellers in June/July even if the team comes strong out of the gates. Hard to get enthused if you're on a team run like that.
  23. Einheri
    Buck needs to perform well and play several more seasons of injury-free seasons before we can even begin to compare. But… er… Yes…?
  24. Einheri
    See if the Padres want Rooker. Probably not, but you never know.
  25. Einheri
    Yeah, they need starting pitching. Due to lockout and rescheduling, not many off days for them this year in the early goings.
