    You said: "The Twins haven't selected a position player in the Rule 5 Draft since Alejandro Machado in 2006.: Where did all theses other guys come from then? 2008 – Jason Jones – 0 games 2010 – Scott Diamond – 59 games 2011 – Terry Doyle – 0 games 2012 – Ryan Pressly – 281 games 2014 – J.R. Graham – 40 games 2016 – Miguel Diaz – 0 games 2017 – Tyler Kinley – 4 games

    Exactly...isn’t this a accurate headline? “How do the Twins plan to win without spending?
  3. Sjoski
    Please don’t put any ideas out there that Falvey might catch wind of.

    Gotta keep the dumpster fire going somehow. Winters coming, time to stock up on some more wood.

    What a message to send the fan base. Brilliant plan Derek. Really inspires confidence for 2026.

    Nice to know. I've always enjoyed listening to Molitors insights into baseball and never liked that Falvey replaced him with Rocco.

    I'm reading quite a few positive comments on Abel. Abel’s biggest knock has always been inconsistent control. Walks pile up, and then MLB hitters punish his mistakes. Until be solves his control issues, I'm not a big believer. Why should I be more optimistic?

    Great " catch".... 😀 Molly traded in the gold glove for: 1. World Series winner 2. World Series MVP 3. Manager of the Year 4. Hall of Famer

    If “Rookie of the Year” is all the Twins win in 2026, that’s actually not bad, it means the future finally showed up. And who knows, maybe that rookie becomes the spark that drags this franchise out of eternal purgatory. Every dynasty starts somewhere… and for the Twins, maybe it starts with a guy holding a Rookie of the Year trophy while the front office nervously wonders how they’ll afford him in five years.

    I think he was in charge of donut runs to local bakeries while traveling.

    9 hour interview = 0 runs, 0 hits, 0 meaning.

    Who is Kreiler? [ edit] Okay.. Found him. Ryan Kreidler. Oh....The guy they claimed off the scrap heap from Detroit. I'm sure Kreidler will never see another game in MLB, while Lawyerson goes on to pitch for 7 more seasons. Another Falvey bomb shell.

    They could celebrate the signing with a special Sano-KKK-Cone Bobblehead Day. Nice addition to my collection.

    Been thinking about this for awhile. Interested in other thoughts people might have. I agree, Falvey did a lot of the digging for the hole the Twins are in, but the real problem isn't just about bad trades or front office decisions. I see the main problem as two fold. #1 How the Pohlad family run the team—like a conservative, low-risk investment, sometimes even used to offset pressures from other businesses. That kind of approach makes bold moves hard to come by. #2 Where they are located. Businesses leaving Minneapolis, the city is struggling, people feeling less connected. It’s not exactly an environment that makes it easy to build a championship team. Put it together, and the Twins’ “hole” starts to make sense—not just on the field, but in the bigger picture of ownership and place. "Winning solves everything " so they say. And winning would totally wipe away theses two problem, if not solve them. But the problem is, the hurdles to achieve a winning team are only getting higher, not lower.

    Now he can blame Derek!!!! Without firing himself. The Twins went from Derek and Rocco to Derek and Derek. Guess Falvey figured it’s easier to stay in sync if you just hire yourself. ( the string of fires is comical, began with firing the trainer in 2022).
  16. Sjoski
    Unless the Twins re-define what "failure" is. NOT losing 100 games in 2026 = Success You'd think a clear thinking baseball man would ask in an interview... "What are your expectations for 2026?" Who knows what one Derek said to the other!!!
  17. Sjoski
    "As the offseason unfolds, Minnesota will attempt to strike a balance between retooling and rebuilding." Where has that "balance " taken the Twins in the past. Isn't it time for a different strategy? Not that Falvey could even execute one or the other.
  18. Sjoski
    The Twins were fortunate Correa wanted out, then like a dog....return to its own vomit...plus, stick themselves with a $33 Miillion vet bill.
  19. Sjoski
    Totally agree...Target Field is beautiful, but building a dome-less stadium in Minnesota was very short sited. Even hockey players have the weather figured out. 4/6 last NHL Championship teams are from Florida. The other two are Vegas and Denver.

    I agree on Bader, but he’s the exception. But that’s precisely the point. The article is lamenting that the ‘Harrison Bader tier’ is now the ceiling for Twins free agency. That’s as good as it gets. Look at the pattern: Gallo, Margot, Shoemaker, Bundy, Archer, Happ, Simmons… the list goes on. Most of these signings have been complete failures or placeholders—warm bodies with little upside. They’re not impact players. They’re not needle-movers. They’re just a roster filler. And when that becomes your norm, it’s not bad luck—it’s a broken strategy.
  21. Sjoski
    Q: Are you willing to shave your beard so at least you look a little less like Rocco's twin brother? 😀
  22. Sjoski
    Answer: “Because nobody else wanted it. And let’s be honest... where else can you manage a team that’s rebuilding every other year and still call it ‘progress’?”
  23. Sjoski
    He’s solid with young players and fits a developmental phase, but his track record (306-440) doesn’t inspire much confidence. Why should we expect anything different than his last 6 years in Pittsburgh? It’s a cautious step forward, not a bold one. What else were Twins fans expecting with Falvey in charge?
  24. Sjoski
    "Next Wave of Stars"? Twinkle, twinkle, little stars — the Twins keep saying here they are. Up above the league so bright… until August comes and dims their light.
  25. Sjoski
    Totally agree...but the Twins act like a small market team, and the AZ appearance is far more rare than common, but it can happen.....still more rare than a Vikings playoff win.
