    If Carlos wanted to go back to his previous Twins' contract (now with two years left at $35.1M/yr and with a player opt out at the end of 2023), I'd let him.

    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.
  3. Einheri
    Oh, well. Twins can probably afford Nathan Eovaldi and Elvis Andrus. Do we want them?
  4. 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.

    Even with all of the injuries, if the front office had seriously addressed the bullpen in the off season, they still might have made the post season.

    They did worse than I expected. I predicted a .500 team and that's pretty much what we got. They only looked good the first two months because the rest of the Division was so terrible.

    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.
  10. 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.
  12. Einheri
    Guess it was good that I missed this one.
  13. Einheri
    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."
  14. Einheri
    Yeah, the main issue is that these catchers DH. Stop that.
  15. 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.
  16. Einheri
    Could have picked up La Tortuga about a week ago.
  17. Einheri
    I'd be fine with the trade though if Paddack had been healthy.
  18. Einheri
    I'd DFA at least two of Pagán, Duffy, and Cotton. I'd rather put an untested-at-the-major-league-level rookie in there. At least if they screw up, I'd have some hope for later improvement from the experience.
  19. Einheri
    Originally, I thought it was the Twins' FO plan all along to trade Correa for prospects in July---and hired him primarily to allow Lewis and Martin a chance to prove themselves in the minors and use whichever of them was ready to play in the Bigs, Or, if the Twins completed bombed in the first half, Correa could be traded even if the rookies weren't ready. Carlos would have done his part: helped to sell season tickets at the start of the season and that was fine. (Yes, I am a fan and a cynic). Now with Lewis injured and the Twins doing okay, they need to hang onto him. They might even push to lock up/ensure a longer deal with Correa since Lewis isn't likely to return until mid season 2023.
  20. 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.
  21. Einheri
    Probably about 6 once they face the better teams more. Right now I hope they can keep beating on the AL Central and win the title. After that, any team can win it all if they get hot at the right time and have some luck.
  22. Einheri
    Yeah, I can't really afford it. Can't afford to watch on TV. I listen on the radio, though.
  23. Einheri
    I'm afraid for Kirilloff. I think they need to get him to some new doctors/specialists for new opinions. If they think he's okay to play, then I think some more time at AAA for him wouldn't hurt. Try some Lewis in the other positions, but SS at AAA full time also makes sense.

    The storm passed through my area in less than an hour. It was booking, winds near 80 mph. It's calmed down quite a bit now. If it's similar to the north where the Twins are, I wouldn't be too surprised if the game resumed. I hope we get a mulligan instead.
  25. 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.
