    The Ryan situation smells exactly like what happened with Berrios. Jose just wanted out. He got his wish at the trade deadline in 2021...and the Twins were left with two prospects that 4 years later are still trying to stick in MLB. Neither one has yet to turn the corner. Can Falvey do better with trading Ryan? I highly doubt it.

    Woof already did the work for me. "In fact, of the 10 highest HR hitting teams in MLB history, only 1 (2019 Astros) even made the World Series, and none won a Series. It's about more than power. Just ask the Bomba Squad."

    Just curious how does your theory explain the 2019 Twins? You can swing for the fences, but sometimes the fences swing back?

    It would be more accurate to compare the current state of Twins baseball to what followed the 1991 -1992 seasons. The Twins were riding high in 91 and 92, but a sharp decline in 93 began a wave of 8 straight losing seasons. Kirby Puckett called it “Death Valley.” This is where the 2026 Twins already are… Death Valley 2.0. ( only 7 more losing seasons to go.)

    Glad I read the reviews first before reading the article.

    Can you repeat the part about not bringing up the fact part?
  7. Sjoski
    Salary dump complete? Yeah… minus the $33 million part.

    Ironic that Jorge Polanco’s streak of three consecutive game-winning hits in the postseason is rivaled only by Delmon Young’s 2012 run ( 4 games ) — both are ex-Twins.

    Doctor Gast... thanks for your excellent take above. I couldn’t agree more — it’s all about vision and proper evaluations, isn’t it? That’s the job of a GM. People here like to argue, Seattle didn’t pick up Polanco’s option. Any team could’ve signed him. Like that validates Falvey’s trade idea. Yet, where did he land? Vision and evaluation brought him right back to the place that knew his value all along — Seattle.

    If we are judging by quotes...isn't Justin M. the top candidate? "I love Minnesota, and I’d love to play my whole career here."–Justin Morneau Maybe TD is saving the Morneau as manager idea for a slow news day. 😀

    Actually sounds like the exact opposite of what the Twins do. They trade players NOT to play for them. Whose paying Carlos Correa over 10 million a years to play somewhere other than Minnesota?
  12. Sjoski
    Hate? How you extract that is baffling. What people on this site hate is: ● wasted trades, ● wasted draft picks, ● wasted millions on the Gallos, Correas and Donaldsons on Falvey’s radar.

    Just delivered the game winning hit for the 3rd straight game.
  14. Sjoski
    Bottom line: Seattle’s thrilled to have Polanco in the fold — doesn’t matter how he got there. The Twins? Still hoping at least one prospect pans out. Production in the minors is just noise until it translates to the next level. What — maybe 10–15% of minor leaguers ever become everyday MLB players? Jury still out on this trade. Right now, it's heavily in favor of a Seattle win.
  15. Sjoski
    Isn't Seattle considering it a huge trade win? Guess it comes down to what you consider a win? Winning ball games = Seattle's POV Saving $$$ = Twins POV

    This statement was just begging for an illustration.
  17. Sjoski
    I agree, but everything I've read and heard regarding Lewis....I doubt he's in favor of playing 1st. The last time the Twins got "creative " they moved Sano from 3rd to RF. We all know how well that worked.
  18. Sjoski
    The Twins will resign Topa, trying to squeeze every ounce out of the Polanco trade…while hoping Gonzalez doesn’t make the trade a total bust. On the other hand. Gonzalez has to be added to the 40 man roster to avoid Rule 5. Wouldn't surprise me to see the Twins cut Topa to make room for Gonzalez.
  19. Sjoski
    Cole Sands fits in nicely as a supportive role, however, like his name implies. You don’t build on him… you just hope he’s still holding the drywall when the studs disappear....and those results were mixed.

    Q: WHO AM I I’m gray and old I make you shiver, I keep coming back. Who am I? Answer: Mike Tonkin… or a Minnesota winter.
  21. Sjoski
    The Twins will probably trade Ryan-Lopez-Buxton....why wouldn't they? Will it matter? With Falvey at the helm, the Twins will always be 5 years away from being competitive again.
  22. Sjoski
    Isnt this the difference between the Yankees and Twins ? ● ● ● For the Yankees, anything short of a World Series is a failure. For the Twins, anything past the Wild Card is a parade.
  23. Sjoski
    In your statement above....who is "they" ? Both teams have added value. Only time will tell who added more value.
  24. Sjoski
    Q: Are the Twins becoming the Pirates? They are over 80% of the way there and the slide towards home is already in motion. □ Shrinking payroll □ Declining attendance □ Trading controllable players for “flexibility.” □ Both ownerships value cost control over competitiveness. The Twins will complete their slide into the American League’s version of the Pirates, it's just a matter of time.

    Wow...I did some research. Fisher is probably the worst owner in all of the major sports. He knows what he's doing however. He sees the goldmine by moving the team to Vegas.
