  1. I'm still handing the ball to Joe Cool on Opening Day, but Lopez is a good addition. I really hate losing Arraez, because his PAs were often the highlights of any game. The FO was smart to sell high on Arraez instead of selling low on Kepler at this point.
  2. Vikings lose, Wild win streak ends, Arraez traded.
  3. Seems like a decent sell high, but the fan in me just says BOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
  4. SIT NEXT TO AN UNPLEASANT MAN FOR $7 This guy must have upgraded from his seat in section 110 that he had in 2019. He was a catcher in high school, so be prepared to listen to how none of the catchers on the MLB field know what they're doing for the entire game.
  5. I've given up on the regional tv deals and have chosen not to play fair until something reasonable is available.
  6. I'd do it. The Twins need to acquire talent anyway they can. Garlick was outrighted, so they would have a lower ceiling/higher floor fallback option for 2023 anyway. Would Cole Sands be enough? The Twins could maybe throw in Steven Cruz or Francis Peguero to push it through.
  7. Remember when Ryan LaMarre got that one hit in Puerto Rico .... That was awesome.
  8. Click bait. Old news from early December. Link a source, if you have something new.
  9. Correa thought he was a Dior product, but he's really a Best Buy open-box-item. Edit: Looks like I was kinda ninja'd by DJL44
  10. Making the Major League Baseball All-Star Game as a starter at shortstop is a failure at shortstop? Tough game.
  11. If signed, Rocco will pull him back down to earth. 5.5? That's crazy!
  12. Best thing I've read on TD, since RiverBrian's "Confessions ...."
  13. There's the Minneapolis Miracle that will be necessary.
  14. Automatic K Slot in the lineup that was vacated by Sano.
  15. I'm just going by the period since they started signing homegrowns and buying out FA years. Deals like those are good for keeping the base at a higher level. The team is sitting what $40 mill? under 2022 payroll. Rodon, Swanson, and maybe Thor, JD Martinez are the only ones left that I consider good fits that will put a large dent in that. I don't see the Twins signing more than one of those four players, and I really don't like the years that Rodon wants considering his health history. If they can't get those guys, why not use the payroll to buyout FA years on Joe Ryan, Luis Arraez or even Jose Miranda? I understand that not everyone will think those particular players are the correct targets for those kind of contracts.
  16. 30 games over .500 for the regular seasons, but sadly 0fer the playoffs.
  17. Spend the money on buying free agent years from homegrown talent by giving them signing bonuses and life-changing money that is hard to turn down. Precedent for success Kepler - 9.2 bWAR and counting on 5/$33m Polanco - 12.6 bWAR and counting on 5/$26m Precedent for failure Sano - 0.1 bWAR on 3/$30m Total - 21.9 bWAR and counting on 13/$89m + League Minimum and Change for whoever has to fill in for the failure. That's where I'm at, but I'm open to being picked apart on the idea.
  18. Vazquez is a huge upgrade over Sanchez, IMO. He immediately starts out as the second best catcher in the division behind Salvy - The Great One. I could see him earning half to two-thirds of that contract in year 1 and then see the time share with Jeffers swing in Ryan's favor more in years 2 and 3.
  19. "Baseball is constantly looking for ways to make improvements to the game so that younger fans are more likely to stay interested. "
  20. Congratulations, Luis Arraez!!!

  21. Same here, especially after Miranda was out, Arraez got his hit and it was reported that Judge was pulled after his homer. Winder has some nasty breaking stuff, but it isn't going to play if his fastball command doesn't improve. Way too many long PAs against him that seemed to start with non-competitive fastballs. I still think Winder has a lot of upside, but he should probably be #8/9 in the 2023 pecking order plans until he tightens things up.
