    This feels like the kind of deal that’s made to get an incremental amount of leverage on other teams you might be dealing with to get relief pitching

    I assume Romo isn’t signed past this year?
  3. amjgt
    Not that it really matters, but it stinks that Kepler gets tagged with a big negative WPA on that Buxton play, when he actually accomplished what we needed him to accomplish.

    I was there. MAYBE a couple thousand total

    32,000 yesterday for a mid-week day game, before the end of the school year. I'd say attendance is picking up.

    Also, isn't that why we grabbed Ronald Torreyes? He's having a terrible offensive year at AAA, but isn't his glove well regarded? If Polanco goes down and we want the defense, isn't Torreyes the guy (if Adrianza is gone)?

    Yeah, it feels like were playing with house money at this point. Asking most of us early yesterday, one win in Houston would've been acceptable, all things considered. Anything more than that would have been great.

    Nope

    I can't help but think that Toronto might be being pressured by their government. They probably do not get all the benefits of the Antitrust exemption that the other 29 teams get.

    Tim Collins... For the sake of argument, let's say someone assumed to make the opening day bullpen goes on the IL (Reed seems like a good candidate). Since he has an April 1 opt out do we think he might make the team over, say Hildenberger?
  11. amjgt
    No too many obvious guys to take off the 40 man, probably Duffey and Reed being the most obvious, but there could be a 60-day IL stint between now and then. How does the 60-day work at the start of the season? Could Sano’s stint be retroactive to the surgery?

    I need a reminder about what kind of contract he signed.
  13. amjgt
    I think it's a fair assumption that the Twins wanted to do this since they probably have some payroll room now and are willing to front load the contract because of that. However, it's entirely possible that as part of the negotiations, the Kepler team gave up a little bit in overall guaranteed dollars in exchange for a sharp immediate increase.

    As for my original search. Not too much good data, but this image is interesting.... http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2015/0401/sn_fbmap1_576x324.jpg

    I was in search of real market size data and stumbled upon this article, on fangraphs, from 2016.... Estimated TV revenue for each team: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/estimated-tv-revenues-for-all-30-mlb-teams/ Two things stood out to me. 1) While we around 20th on the list, we really are not that far from 7th (Phillies - 20M difference). 2) They talk about Ownership stake in the cable network and list the Twins as having ZERO ownership stake in FSN. I thought that was well established at this point.

    That region has twice as many people as the Twins region.
  17. amjgt
    Not that I think there's any chance the Twins can approach that type of TV deal, but their current deal is more than a few years old, which is probably one of the reasons it's pretty far down in the rankings. Let's look at the market size for a second... SEA-TAC - 3.9M MSP - 3.6M But obviously the games are being broadcast beyond the immediate metro area. Let's look at the regional population, where the "local" games are likely being broadcast Washington + Oregon + Idaho = 13.5M Minnesota + ND + SD = 7.2M There are some parts of Wisconsin and Iowa that are part of the Twins region, but not the very populated parts. At most, it probably adds up to 8.5M

    Regarding the 3 batter minimum.... I like it. "People would find a way to cheat" isn't a good argument against because a) rules could be put in place to prevent much of that (Auto DL stint, fines for teams/managers) and b.) it would happen very rarely. I do think it needs a little tweak though. 3 batter minimum OR end of the inning. You shouldn't force pitchers to bridge innings.
  19. amjgt
    I'm pretty sure $261M was the 2017 number.
  20. amjgt
    I'm not sure I'd classify the Braves as mid-market Tampa never really went away, so there wasn't really a rebuild there. I'll give you the other 3, but the A's a just a bizarre organization.
  21. amjgt
    I'm pretty sure every team not named the Marlins would sign either of those deals in a heartbeat. I think the thought is, he's looking for 5/100M
  22. amjgt
    Also... What is “overspend” for relief these days?
  23. amjgt
    Polio and TB weeded out the over 30 crowd
  24. amjgt
    Order placed. Looking forward to getting my first version
  25. amjgt
    What do we think those realistic trade targets are? Robbie Ray Zach Grienke Marcus Stroman (had a terrible 2018 so might come cheaply) Trevor Williams
