    Let's get this out of the way early: TRADE GALLO, KEPLER, AND PAGAN FOR ANYTHING!!! Sorry, had to appease the masses...

    Nothing puts a smile on my face more than Lance Lynn stinking against the Twins (though Kendrys Morales might give him a run for the money).

    A little off track, but I don't read too much into any perceived lack of pitching depth in the minors. The big team gutted the depth by calling everybody up in the last 18 months: Ryan Ober Duran Moran Jax Balazovic That isn't necessarily a bad thing today. Three years of rebuilding that depth sounds about right.

    Never mind the fact this was over 20 years ago with a different regime, I would consider a rental to no longer be a twin after the season. Stewart re-signed with the Twins after that season. I do not see Bellinger re-signing with the Twins under any circumstances. The spark comment has merit, but I do not see Bellinger being that option. Still a hard pass for the Twins.

    I am still waiting for the " Gallo, Kepler and Pagan" package to be offered... One fell swoop we would shut down 75% of the TD posts.

    Two RP, four years ago... I stand corrected. I did not say never, I said historically...
  8. Twins GFP
    Historically they Twins do not trade for rentals, they look for guys to keep. A left handed hitting OF that is going to be expensive and has not shown to be consistent? I don't see the Twins even considering this...

    Stu, I am saddened to see you revert back to your satirical article format. Please return to the form of your last few weeks where your articles were truth disguised as satire. Sincerely, Ed

    This has to be a hot take.

    Not happening. Love Goldy, but you would have to negotiate a contract extension that would probably be an overpay for the downside of his career. AK is cost controlled for a long time. Looking at 2024, if things continue the way they do, you are probably looking at AK as a starting OF with Julien at 1B. I would feel more comfortable with a little more proven experience out there, but that does not seem to be the way the Twins roll (Miranda and Gordon being handed the keys for example).

    I think this hits all the talking points. We know all it takes is some crazy team (hello NYM), but 3 yrs sounds about right. The dollar range sounds about right, but it would not surprise me to see an AAV closer to $30. The Twins probably already know if they are close to what Grey's camp is asking for.

    My bigger concern through this whole process is that there has not been any public discussion of him going to the IL. So are they telling us that health-wise Buxton can not be "fixed" and this is what he is? Considering the contract he is on, the Twins should be more concerned about the long-game. If he needs surgery, get it done and get him healthy for next year. If this is the new 100% for Buxton, the rest of this decade is going to be very taxing for Twins fans.
  14. Twins GFP
    This.

    The Nick Punto's of the world always garner the most hate...

    It makes me laugh to see these types of stories knowing the the first responses will always be: GALLO and KEPLER. It's like a mantra... They are not the problem. Kepler is your starting OF, but should really be your 8th best player in the lineup. Defense first OF tend to go that route. Gallo was not brought in to carry the offense, he was brought in as insurance for 5 positions and has had to play 4 of them extensively. While we (myself included) were hoping for the rule changes to help these two offensively, it did not come to pass. Instead, they are playing at the level we pretty much expected. Please do complain that Solano, Castro, and Jeffers are your fWAR leaders. All three of these guys were penciled in to be backups. Lewis and Polanco can't stay healthy. Buxton, Miranda, Gordon, Correa, Vazquez, have been HORRIBLE. And you guys still want to complain about Kepler and Gallo? Unless something falls into their lap for cheap, the Twins should really not make any moves right now. No players readily available are demonstrative upgrades unless you want to overpay for a rental or sell the farm. I do not see either happening. Buxton needs to go in the IL until he is 100% healthy. He is doing more harm than good. Add Lewis and Polanco to the playing rotation, hope that the positive trending of Correa and Vazquez sticks. Kiriloff, Julien, Farmer, the rest of that group just need to maintain. That is what needs to happen.

    Stop holding us to the standard of actually reading what we are commenting on. That isn't how we do things...
  18. Twins GFP
    Good cheap young pitching is almost impossible to replace. You can find quality position players much easier. Ober is going to have a long leash. It would not surprise me if the the Twins saw him as untouchable right now.
  19. Twins GFP
    This does not conform with the TD masses... Stop bringing logic to an emotional argument.
  20. Twins GFP
    I appreciate the work here Cody, helps to put Sonny's season in perspective. Just a shame that a large enough percentage of the TD mass think the Twins should trade him thinking it will help the team.
  21. Twins GFP
    Here is the question Twins fans: Asked in all sincerity what would do you think it would take to Ohtani to the Twins? I see two possible package scenarios: 1) Ohtani as a rental (at least 2 top prospects plus a handful middle ground guys) 2) Ohtani agreeing to an extension prior to the trade (would probably be something like 3 top prospects plus Kiriloff and possibly Ober). I want to say zero percent chance the Twins do this, but signing Correa has thrown all of my assumptions out the window.
  22. Twins GFP
    As is typical of many articles coming from Stu lately, there is sadly more truth than satire.
  23. Twins GFP
    No problem if they decide to make a relatively low cost move for a guy like Robertson. But the bullpen is nowhere near the top of the priority list for this team right now. Gotta find some offense somewhere.
  24. Twins GFP
    HOT TAKE!!!! Hindsight is 20/20!!!
  25. Twins GFP
    Testify!
