Not true. I come from NM every year and hit at least 2 games then again wifes family lives there.
As far as crime? Ha ha ha. I have lived in and now go to Albuquerque regularly. Minneapolis is nothing.
I watch alot of Met games as they have always been my #2 team. On eye test Id go Walker. His numbers are OK. He is an upgrade from Archer-Bundy (I know...) and his price fits the Twins pockets.
I dont see the team ever dropping stacks of cash Scherzer style.
1) Ownership will not agree so its DOA.
2) With the present game plan to limit starters to 5-6 innings no matter how good a start is going it would be a foolish waste of money.
Better to develop in house starters and sign hopefully above average relief arms.
Mets. In SD 1984 when couldnt get Twin TV only radio. Could get Mets TV (thanks Vermillion cable) start watchin Mets. Watch Mets 83-84, 84-85 and 86
NL Met fan since. Always Twins.
Ditch the all analytics all the time approach. It killed them.
Teach fundamentals like base running, hitting the cutoff man. There are too many instances where their dumb mistakes make them look like little leaguers
