    Rod Carew stealing home base.

    Twins should trade Donaldson AND pay ALL of his salary in exchange for the best pitching they can get. While they're at it, they should take on several short-term but overpriced SP contracts from any team who is also willing to throw in an excellent young pitching prospect as part of the deal. Become a salary dumping ground for one or two years. Nothing else to spend their money on. And it's a weird enough strategy that it might just work.

    Ultimately, the FO does what the owner wants. Put up a new poll for the ownership staying or going.

    I'd rather play him as soon as possible at SS to see if he can play there or not. Twins in 2022—at least so far—have no real starting pitching, so it's not like there's a lot more they can lose by playing a team with a lot of rookies with something to prove on it. Just do something more for the fans with the $50MM or so they didn't spend this year.

    Nicely written. I hope he reads and actually considers this.
  6. Einheri
    Sheesh. At least sign Big Mike.
  7. Einheri
    Looking forward to seeing your next two team trades suggestions, Jamie.
  8. Einheri
    An important question since we have so very little in the way of starting pitching.
  9. Einheri
    But, yeah, it's going to be tough.
  10. Einheri
    Trades.
  11. Einheri
    I love Nellie. But we have no room for him unless many players are traded/dumped.
  12. Einheri
    With no pitching in sight short term, I'm all for blowing it all up. But, get rid of current ownership and management at the same time.
  13. Einheri
    Well… it gets down to how steep and soon the bonus escalates. Sharp-inclining escalators seem more like buying shares in a stock that did really well last year then blindly assuming it will repeat at the same or better level of performance next year and beyond. I'd hate to base any sizable long-range contract bonus upon something that happens in the first year of said contract, especially if pre-contract, the player had a significant history of injuries. But, if it's a more of an exponential growth, I could get onboard.
  14. Einheri
    Well… that's ridiculous. "Locking in" defeats the whole purpose of "incentives." If that is what Byron's Agents are insisting upon, then trade Buxton immediately.
  15. Einheri
    If Hybrid three-innings guys are to become a staple in baseball (and I've been wanting the Twins to try a one-time-through-the-order type of mix and match inexpensive pitchers), I think you still need two quality Ace type for playoffs. Perhaps you can get by with just one then trade for one at the All-Star Break? Worth a shot at this point. Why not? It would be a hard sell, though, to get a superstar SS onboard when he learns the plan.
  16. Einheri
    Well… to be fair, their history is one of moving: Philadelphia, Kansas City, Oakland.
  17. Einheri
    Ah, that makes sense. Then the Twins need to hang onto Dobby or trade him now.
  18. Einheri
    I wish the Twins had played Gordon full time at SS the last month of the season.
  19. Einheri
    I don't know how it works: If the Twins drop Dobnak off their 40-man, wouldn't any team picking him up then need to assume the salary of that long deal? And so, and if it's so bad, no one would take him, right? Then couldn't the Twins pick him up again later after the Rule 5 Draft when roster space isn't so crucial?
  20. Einheri
    An interesting question but not one that concerns much me until Twins sign Buxton and sign/trade for three quality starting pitchers with the floor for a #3 being Big Mike (hopefully better). If they solve Buxton and pitching, even Andrelton Simmons on a cheap SS contract would win you games.
  21. Einheri
    Sign Buxton and I'll be pretty happy. Pick up at least one reasonably high-tier starting pitcher in free agency (and also Big Mike as your #3), then trade for the best higher-tier young pitcher you can, a #2 guy. Solve everything else in-house unless a sweet trade deal or free agent appears in your lap.
  22. Einheri
    I'd trade Donaldson if the Twins didn't need to eat too much of his salary and/or give up too much with him as part of a package. But I don't think that would be the case, so I would have him play 3B about half of the time and DH the rest of the time. If you can, and if the Twins fail to get quality starting pitching (almost a certainty given the history of their ownership), and if Josh is having a good year, try trading him before the All-Star Game. And, of course, I would trade Donaldson for nothing if another team ate the entirety of his salary.
  23. Einheri
    I'd use him as a DH, pinch hitter, and as a spot infielder at 2B and 3B, and I would bat him quite early in the batting order, often as the lead off hitter to help chew up pitch count and to get on base for Polanco and others. I doubt any pitcher gotten back for him from a trade would be worth as much. Plus, sometimes you just need to keep fan favorites.
  24. Einheri
    Do these batters love Target Field… or Twins' Pitching? Twins need to get another quality starting pitcher, and not a #4 or 5 guy. Running out of available free agents out there, so probably best to trade for one.
  25. Einheri
    They're betting on Arraez being healthy soon, but probably not for today's game. We need Schoop at 2B.
