    “On the other hand, @John Bonnes speculates at a more simple explanation, asking "rather than come up 1.5B cash, [maybe prospective owners] can come up with 1.1B cash and take on the $400M loan gradually?" For the love of God, why can no one get this right. The Pohlads want the buyer to cover the value of the team PLUS the buyer covering the debt. So it would be at least 1.5 billion to the Pohlads, not 1.1. The only change now so that MLB would be handling the 400 million in debt some how.

    Brother, he’s got a career .864 OPS in the majors. I hope he’s the same ol player.

    Thanks to MLBTR for figuring it all out. The last two losses might be a blessing in disguise. The Twins are now 16th, with a tie breaker over Boston and Arizona, and juuust ahead of San Fran. The only realistically competitive teams ahead of them are Cinci, Miami, and Cleveland. It’s possible Cinci and Cleveland don’t claim anyone because they’re both cheap. I suspect Miami will make a claim or two. The only wildcard is the Padres…they don’t have much of a playoff shot but Preller is a wild man.

    Pagán has an xFIP of 4.48. He shouldn’t be trusted.

    Just FYI, every time y’all link to Austin Martin it’s the wrong one on Basevakl Reference.

    They’re not going to a 7 man bullpen. They’re just not.
  27. raindog
    They fired him, man. Not exactly without cause but of course he’s not always going to be effusive towards them.
  28. raindog
    He’s 18. It’s irrelevant what our current needs are.

    Freezing cold take

    The Carroll comment wasn't so much of criticism, just a sad statement. Obviously 14 other teams passed on him too. But I do think Cavaco was a huge mistake, and a lot of people thought so at the time.

    I just looked up his fielding stats and was pretty shocked to see he's a first baseman this year. Yikes. And the year before, he played exclusively 3B instead of SS, with a .892 fielding percentage and 21 errors. I know the MLB draft is a crapshoot but that pick is such a whiff at 13 overall. And Corbin Carroll taken 3 picks later. Damn.

    Kind of odd to say that Gallo should play CF and then make an argument for Kepler by saying he’s the superior RF. Yeah I know Kepler doesn’t like playing CF but I think they should stop caring about his opinion on that matter.

    Incredible deal. He’s going to be our ace for 4 more years.

    Rough outing from Ober. 75 pitches.

    Counterpoint, someone made an edit of the Trout/Ohtani a-bat as if there was a pitch clock: Still feels intense. And watching the 91 World Series doesn't feel any less intense because of how quick the pace was back then.
