    There are 5 teams in the division, one of them will be last. Right now this one doesn't have the look of the upper echelon.

    I wanted to see the Twins work out a Sproat or Tong for Ryan deal, the other piece could have been further negotiated.

    Essentially the scenario that the Twins are playing is to not buy the lottery ticket at all because you don't want to buy the $5 ticket. This is crumpling that $5 loosely into your pocket and having it fall out and losing it when you pull your car keys out of your pocket. This is part of why car manufacturers started producing key fobs instead..... The Twins are choosing to crumple up the $5 by sitting on Ryan for what has every look of a last place team in a bad division.

    If the right offer were proposed, absolutely trade him.

    No longer likely, surgery planned for Wednesday.

    Wallner has a bat that is playable on this team. Negative is against LHP making him part-time to a degree. Defense though is a bigger issue, makes him a DH unless he can work on that D. Maybe he crashes and burns from here on out but if he plays to his potential bats like his are not a dime a dozen.

    The only reason that I would sign either Giolito or Littel or both, is not to contend but to trade in July and further deepen the minors.

    Trade Ryan to one of these pitching needy teams that are still hoping to compete if they have anything to give up. Opens up another spot to find out what we have. What are we saving Ryan for?
  9. sweetmusicviola16
    Sounds like it could be season ending surgery.

    Richardson is a 4.2 IP tax on the bullpen. Festa, Matthews and Abel have been or are not even mediocre SP, and many think they are destined for the Pen. Bradley is a upto this point been a consistent blowup. Better hope this is nothing from Lopez cuz this could go beyond ugly very quickly.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    Sure does seem like more and more pitching injuries every year. I wonder if it has anything to do with the love affair with trying to throw at 98mph plus and to do so to get 12 plus K's per nine? Pitchers didn't drop left and right back in the 60's-90's. Not like nowadays.
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    Griffin Canning already has a deal in place with San Diego I believe.
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    Personally I would sign both Giolito and Littel and then turn around and trade both Lopez and Ryan as soon as I could. This would keep the starting pitching as a positive on the whole. And be upfront with the new guys, that hey, if we're out of it in July they can expect to be traded too. We're competing, but it's for 3rd place at best. If many things go well and fall into place. The moves we make this year will significantly impact our level of competing for years to come. For good or bad.

    Tough Talking Tom = T-3 I think it suits him until he proves otherwise.
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    Trevor is free to think and say what he wants. Others such as myself are as well, this team is a dysfunctional mess.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    Andrew Chafin is also coming on board on an milb. Another LHRP. Throw enough darts maybe one or two will stick.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    Propaganda article.
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    I'm not against Banda, I think it's a good enough dart thrown at the board and hope it sticks. I'm also not against the price paid, albeit I would have rather we threw another mil at an IFA early on in the signing period. But I don't think Banda should just be handed a spot in the BP either. He's not an elite RP by any means. And if we have an extra 10mil now to spend on the BP then why haven't we done it? And if I had to make a choice between Banda and singing Coulombe to an ML contract that is an easy decision.

    Parades and a prospect for Jeffers and Larnach is the best idea put forth yet. It actually improves the 2026 team. Astros lose 2 years of control on Parades but get two years of Larnach and a needed C who they would have the rights to negotiate an extension with. And if we are in the tank in July Parades would be a decent trade chip still. We would be weaker at C as I'm not convinced that Caratini can carry the primary load and in all honesty Jackson is not very good. This is a deal I can support.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    500k of IFA pool money is the cost. I'm neither here nor there on that cost, but I will say I wish the Twins would do a better job with Internationals. And if I had my druthers would have rather seen another significant future prospect picked up when signings were happening than have Banda. Just my opinion.
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    Whether his success can translate to MN is the question. Yeah probably the best move they've made this off season.
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    Can Banda do well outside of LAD? That's another question.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    Nothing wrong with seeing what Hendriks has. I have doubts that much is left but its just an milb sign.
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    Yes. I would much rather see 65-70 wins for 2-3 seasons if you're making legitimate strides than seeing 75-80 wins over that same time frame when all you're doing is treading water. We have some pieces in place. But we have some pieces that should be moved to improve the teams future. And we have some pieces that it's just time to move on from. But 75-80 wins isn't exciting very many when the direction seems off.
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    At this point an F. Maybe they'll salvage something from some solid ST moves but the off season was a failure. It started with not firing your top guy November 01 and letting the new guy hire your manager and the new guy making all of the off season trades and signings. Dysfunction.
