    Wouldn't doubt it. The lies have always been a large part of this current ownership group. They are shifty devils, no reason to trust anything they say.

    Here is the deal. If the Twins trade him, people around here aren't going to be happy with the return. He likely nets you a teams 5-10 ranked prospect, one other in the 20-30ish range and possibly a lottery ticket or salary dump. He's worth more to stay than he is to go.
  3. Battle ur tail off
    Agree, but then I fire Falvey and let someone else totally rebuild this thing...
  4. Battle ur tail off
    Then the Mets don't need to get him. Twins have bent over for many years giving up good young players for garbage prospects. I am all for trading guys away, but bring back real talent. I would rather see a 1 for 1 to get the best there is, than trading for a bunch of mid-tier guys. It should be this way in free agency also. Don't fill in with oodles of washups or never was players, Add studs, or don't add them at all and use your system. Not sure why the Twins never try to operate this way. They have tried everything else.

    Sad, but I think we all know this. Twins are in for some mid-late 90s baseball. Back down to roughly zero fans and nothing to look forward to for the better part of another decade...
  6. Battle ur tail off
    I doubt it. You don't build or develop guys by running analytics constantly and pigeonholing them into what you think is best. Twins needed a guy that can teach baseball. Teach fundamentals and the mental part of the game. We don't need another IPAD watcher or spreadsheet pusher. These guys are great when you have a team full of already developed players. But when we are looking at a roster with a bunch of prospects and "babies" in terms of their baseball development. You need a manager that knows how to teach, not just plug and play according to some formula they have.

    What needs to change is our player development process. Who has been in charge of developing Lewis, Lee, Miranda, Julien, Wallner, Martin, etc? NONE of them have hit as a sure-fire viable starting caliber or better MLB player. This is unacceptable. Either they weren't good enough to draft or trade for, or they haven't been developed like they should have been. To have your top 10-ish prospects of the last 5-6 years not show anyone that's anything is what killed this franchise. Until the team takes bat to ball contact seriously and fundamentals, the results will continue to be the same. And yes, the next Manager, if he is basically another yes man/IPAD watcher is in a no win situation. No manager can actually manage with everything laid out in front of him/micromanaged every single game.

    He's a lying sleazy prick. Just tell the truth for once. This kind of stuff is what makes people mad.
  9. Battle ur tail off
    Amazing they can be so tone deaf isn't it? The last few years have really shown how to ruin a fanbase. Like literally there may be a book written on this someday. Carl sucked, but at least he kept his mouth shut. This new generation of Pohlads is terrible.
  10. Battle ur tail off
    Terrible news but not surprising. Do you really think the Pohlads are going to dump this cash cow, especially when their other business entities are struggling? This is basically just someone giving them a loan on the bad debt they have placed from other parts of Pohlads Inc onto the Twins. Expect the next few years to be a total teardown player roster wise. My guess though, is that Falvey and Rocco work for CHEAP, so they will be retained. Welcome back to 1993-2000. That is what we are in for. Too bad with Target field and that run they had a few years ago, but the Twins are over with and most likely back to being a sports afterthought in this state once again.
  11. Battle ur tail off
    A hammer 8th inning guy is worth more than a guy with a ceiling of #4 starter. If that is all this guys is worth then it's really not very smart. Twins have always done this. Quantity instead of quality. It has never worked for them. Don't trade controllable pieces or sign #4 and 5 starters. Draft and develop them, or bring them in with trades for expiring contracts.
  12. Battle ur tail off
    That is the problem, you can't do that with Rocco and Falvey in charge. They don't believe in this kind of ball.
  13. Battle ur tail off
    Twins aren't worth much as a franchise as compared to some others in my opinion. After the last 2 years they are worth even less. Their owner has killed any fan interest with the way he talks, acts and by not having them accessible on TV. Selling these guys off doesn't make them any more attractive to a buyer IMO. My thoughts are this was done in order to reduce expenses for the Pohlads and nothing else. They have done a really terrible job these last 2 years. I don't know if I've seen someone run a business into the ground so fast. It is literally like it was done on purpose. Crazy...
  14. Battle ur tail off
    Duran, Jax, Varland. None of these guys should have been traded unless the return was fantastic. Why? They are CHEAP and under control!! Correa? I'm fine moving him but getting zero back needed to be they take everything but like 5 mil. Twins got fleeced on this one certainly. No other team takes returns for guys like this on star players and also pays over a third of their remaining contract. The expiring contract guys? Yes, fine move them for whatever you can get. Still seems like the return though was little to nothing for these guys either.
  15. Battle ur tail off
    F. Flat out Falvey didn't put much effort into this. This was a give away. Flat out sell off. Trading controllable pieces for low end prospects. No other team lets go guys like that unless they get a return with studly players. Garbage, terrible, embarrassing. Not only did they alienate all of their fans, they also put out a bat signal to the rest of the league that they can be taken to the woodshed on all trades, to future Free Agents, there is no reason to ever sign here. The ONLY good that can come of this is that the team is sold, and Falvey and Rocco are immediately canned. This would be the only acceptable outcome in my eyes.
  16. Battle ur tail off
    Remember when the Twins wanted good relief pitching years ago when they were contending? Remember what it took or teams wanted from us to make those trades happen? Why do we insist on bringing back prospects that don't rank highly anywhere or are afterthoughts in the teams they are coming from's plans? None of this makes any sense. Twins are flat out giving away players at this point.
  17. Battle ur tail off
    Might not be just the biggest fire sale in Twins history, might be the biggest fire sale in the history of MLB. I'll be it's close. Most players moved at a trade deadline. Good gravy. Anyone decent is gone for little to nothing.
  18. Battle ur tail off
    Problem is they really haven't brought back too many useable pieces yet. Do we expect them to now? All of this is for salary relief, nothing else.
  19. Battle ur tail off
    Largest fire sale in Twins history that I am aware of. If they deal Ryan, WOW. Hard to care, but maybe it's for the best. I feel bad for the guys that are left though. Also IF this is the route they are going to take ROCCO NEEDS TO BE FIRED TOMORROW!
  20. Battle ur tail off
    Well no one watches them right now. So I would guess, no one will still watch them going forward. They messed up big time when they weren't able to be watched on TV. Then they basically told the fans they weren't going to try to win the last couple season. What a bunch of nitwits.
  21. Battle ur tail off
    No they aren't. Most of them play for the paycheck. Also, it isn't that at all for me about Correa. It's the getting hurt with nothing and staying out half the season, then bailing when the going gets tough. All while sucking up a 1/4 of your team's payroll. It's taking heavy hacks in an at-bat when you need a single or to get on base. It's being paid like the best player on the team, then not leading the younger players at all. Done...
  22. Battle ur tail off
    He's been hurt with little to nothing wrong with him while here. Minor injuries and out for long periods of time. He's also been a poor offensive player overall. Now he wants back to Houston. Not a fan of his anymore. In it for himself 100%.
  23. Battle ur tail off
    There are still 2 hours left people. My guess is there are 2-3 more guys going. Anyone that makes any kind of money or is going to shortly will be out.
  24. Battle ur tail off
    Also, Correa can go to hell. What a slug. Hurt constantly here. My opinion, he was likely faking most of it. I'll put money on it he gets back to Houston and is in the lineup daily and back to his old self.
  25. Battle ur tail off
    Payroll is all this team cares about. They have been losing money for a long time and are looking to cut costs. My guess, it's a zero back for Correa and Castro, just like they got for Stewart. Falvey getting fleeced big time. Giving up significant talent and getting almost zero back in return. If you are going to have a fire sale, at least get paid for it.
