    Love Joe but I don't see the sense of allowing him to pitch in WBC. Joe fades during the 2nd half of the year. He is needed for wins in early part of season. He needn't be showcased in the WBC. Any teams interested in him know his stuff already.

    Hell will freeze over before any of us see MLB books.
  3. Dave Borton
    Since we will never see the books, you might be right. I believe debt was created by the Pohlads merely drawing down the cash and investing elsewhere where they felt they needed to put cash to work.

    I am interested in the story from a business sense and on field baseball. I am surprised that owners are letting hedge funds into the club. Will be interesting to watch the business story unfold, though I have less hope/optimism for what we are going to see on the bases. Ugh...lee.

    I love Polanco but $40MM for two years? Over paid him.

    Ol' Stringer beat me at the bell.

    Reason 22 to root against Dodgers.

    I will listen to every game that Gray pitches against the Yanks. Love the grit and trash talking. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6855549/2025/12/02/sonny-gray-did-not-want-to-pitch-for-yankees/?source=athletic_user_shared_article_copylink&smid=url-share-ta “What did factor into my decision to come to Boston, it feels good to me to go to a place now where, you know what, it’s easy to hate the Yankees, right?” he said. “It’s easy to go out and have that rivalry and go into it with full force, full steam ahead. I like the challenge.”

    For Gasper, Twins are offering season pass to the Rockies or WSox. You pick.

    Inexcusable. Market told him he wasn't going to get $1.7BB; plan B should have been greased like a slick hog. It wasn't.

    Another one of those back-loaded contract. Gray earns $31MM 2026. I had forgotten those terms. Not quite sure what Dodgers are going to do when those chickens come home to roost.

    Sonny Gray to the Red Sox. https://www.mlb.com/news/sonny-gray-red-sox-cardinals-trade?partnerId=it-20251125-15839582-mlb-1-A&utm_id=it-20251125-15839582-mlb-1-A&lctg=89773477

    .288 SLG doesn't quite meet the definition of 'power-first.'
  14. Dave Borton
    yesterday. For heavens sake. 30 yr-old .133 career hitter. Mustache is great but insufficient cause for retention. Move on!
  15. Dave Borton
    Just an old boys club. Names and industries are only concern as barriers. I am confident that Pohlad poured over the books.

    I often am as baffled watching Britbox and trying to figure out both the idioms and slang they use.
  17. Dave Borton
    Oh man, oh man. Definitely going to need a spring guide come February.
  18. Dave Borton
    Yes.
  19. Dave Borton
    Thx <blushes>. That's twice I have done that on the forum.

    Derek Falvey got the "Most Self-Assured Person Unwanted Anymore in the Clubhouse" award for the 4th year in a row. He proceeded to compare himself to Ohtani and his 4 MVP awards in a discussion with local reporters.
  21. Dave Borton
    Keep Falvey away from the batting cage. Toronto Blue Jays stats, before/after hiring of Maki. 2024/2025 BA: .243/267 SLG: .389/.432

    https://www.mlb.com/news/twins-finalize-major-league-coaching-staff Like the selection. Young; 5 years as a teacher. Complements Shelton yrs and age. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=hallbe001mar Stats.

    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5197059/2024/01/12/twins-latin-american-scouting-roman-barinas/?source=athletic_user_shared_article_copylink&smid=url-share-ta Long article on Roman Barinas, hired this year to head up the Twins Latin America recruiting. Barinas came into ball through the back door with the Dodgers and has done every staff position in ball except playing ball. Time will tell.

    The WS game 7 had an audience of 51MM, with 12 million alone in Japan. Baseball has played the cards <sic> correctly with extracting the best players from Japan. I see greater penetration into Japan in the future. Might the Twins capitalize on any of this? Have to do workarounds on the posting fees, I realize (age/service). Anyone follow Japanese ball? Have insights? How about Tokyo Marlins and Yokohama Rays. Korean/Mexican ball. No separate figures I could find but this years series has to have a positive, longer term effect on the game's popularity. Growth will come, long after I am pushing up daisies.

    A dandelion is always a dandelion, never a rose. Would love to be surprised 'cuz 'never say never.' Always hopeful...but not buying ticket package.
