    Well, actually the article only mentions the Giants and Red Sox are in, and two other teams. Twins may not even be one of those teams. Time to hope that Royce Lewis tears AAA apart and is up by June 1.

    There's literally 90 pitchers I would've rather had than Pineda, but now no one is left. Stop worrying about outwaiting Story and Pineda and offer them a contract they will actually take. Can we get Trevor Bauer?! Lol. Would Pineda pitch more innings or be better than Drew Strotman?
  3. dex8425
    Unless the Twins actually get Story, I will believe that the FO does not really intend on competing this year but has an eye more towards 2023. Royce could be ready for SS next year. On paper this team is worse than the 2021 team.
  4. dex8425
    Right. Unless we get Story and another starter, our team will be worse overall from the team that finished last in 2021. I would've rather kept Garver and Donaldson, signed Andrelton Simmons, and then done the trade for Sonny Gray.
  5. dex8425
    And downgraded the DH spot by putting Sanchez there. Perfect!
  6. dex8425
    I think you're right. Simmons and Iglesias are gone. At this point I'm expecting the Cards to sign Story and the Twins trade for De Jong.
  7. dex8425
    It's okay that our defense is bad though. We have two hits.
  8. dex8425
    Also a TERRIBLE throw from Caleb Hamilton and then a bad throw from Martin to home. Kinda like watching high school baseball.
  9. dex8425
    I'd love to give the DH at bats to Kiriloff, who is much cheaper, if Sano is playing 1B.
  10. dex8425
    That's one of his true three outcomes. Homer, walk, strikeout.
  11. dex8425
    Real good AB from Gary Sanchez there.
  12. dex8425
    Correct. He had no idea where the wall was.
  13. dex8425
    Trevor Story makes that play right there.
  14. dex8425
    It's free on MLBN!
  15. dex8425
    I suppose that's possible, but I wanted Mahle or Castillo. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/reds-gm-wont-trade-luis-castillo-tyler-mahle.html
  16. dex8425
    Well, Greinke to the Royals. One year 13m deal. Twins could have easily sprung for that too...
  17. dex8425
    Why not. If he plays 140 games this team might make the playoffs.
  18. dex8425
    I think Jax will succeed in a bullpen role. Thorpe's arm looked completely shot last year, something obviously happened...
  19. dex8425
    Royals too. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/royals-trade-rumors-frankie-montas.html Plenty of teams are going to be interested. If Twins don't get Montas, not the end of the world but they need another quality starter. Could be Manea. Could be Castillo or Mahle. Heck, if you don't want to give up prospects, the Twins could probably win 85-88 games with Story and Greinke or Matt Boyd? If you squint hard enough?
  20. dex8425
    Well at least the Twins could maybe finish ahead of Cleveland then.
  21. dex8425
    I think we both would feel better if the Twins also got Montas! I see him as more of a #1 for 2022 than Gray. Montas, Gray, Ryan is a fine rotation for a playoff series. Definitely not Scherzer, DeGrom, Bassitt though.
  22. dex8425
    You proved my point- a guy with two 5 WAR seasons and 5.3 and 3.3 his last two seasons is not a #3. You're talking about Jack Flaherty's or Hyun Jin Ryu's best two seasons there, for reference.
  23. dex8425
    NY thought about releasing him. I'd at least give him some AB's before releasing him. He can't possibly be any worse than he was last year, right? I think he'll hit more than Rortvedt would this year, but of course he's worse defensively and a lot more expensive.
  24. dex8425
    He has a negative outs above average rating at every position. -5 in 2021 and -12 in 2019. That's bad. Donaldson was above average defensively every year with the Twins. Arraez isn't a complete butcher but he's not fast, and he doesn't have a great arm. Donaldson has a cannon.
  25. dex8425
    He's also a really weird dude. Remember the altercation with Joe Kelly?! But yeah, he cheated a lot on that 2019 Astros trash banging scheme.
