    “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.
  25. raindog
    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

    There are always going to be times when you have to use your low leverage guys in high leverage spots. He has shown time and time again he can't handle that. The Varland comparison is ridiculous. It's not a knee jerk reaction to say they should move on from a reliever that has been awful for four seasons straight.
  31. raindog
    They have to DFA him at this point, right? Right??? The front office can't possibly be considering anything else if they are serious people.
  32. raindog
    Seems like they think his defense is pretty solid there. "For one, when Rodriguez first began to get noticeably bigger and stronger throughout 2020 and 2021, it became less clear whether he’d be able to play center field, and the torn meniscus he suffered in 2022 clouded things further. He still looks really good out there. He’s not a burner, but his reads and routes are decisive and advanced, especially his comfort going back on balls over his head and into the gaps."

    2. Is Willi Castro in the lineup?
  34. raindog
    Curious if Miranda in the lineup means no Farmer move today or if they're sending down Castro.

    Batting average isn't a great metric these days, at least not alone. Unfortunately, they are also 21st in wOBA and 18th in expected wOBA, lol. Edit: In good news, they are 2nd in wOBA allowed, and 1st in xWOBA allowed.
