Twins GFP

I joined this site over 14 years ago. It probably puts me pretty high on seniority list. At the time, I chose the Fire Dan Gladden moniker as a joke, albeit an honest one. I have not paid much attention to it until relatively recently…
I do not know Dan Gladden. My opinions on him are strictly as a radio personality. Do I think Dan Gladden is a solid radio voice? No. Do I want the Twins to replace him? Yes. As a color guy he is tolerable. As a play-by-play, he is lost and has shown no improvement over his extended time on the radio. I make no apologies for this opinion and own it every time I am asked.
Do I consistently comment on the fact I think he should be gone? No. Does it drive every comment, every post, every response I make? No. Do I use it as fuel to be hostile, negative, and belligerent in my views on this site? Nope.
Discussions with posters on TD typically lead down one of two paths:
A) Respectful discourse that typically allows both sides to air their points and agree to disagree.
B) Disagreements where one side turns the attack personal; calling names and using questionable adjectives. Enough to show true colors, but not enough to get booted from the site.
To the handful of posters that have attempted to use the “Fire Dan Gladden” moniker against me when they have no other coherent points to make, I have removed that option from your arsenal. Best of luck in the future.

I might be wrong, but I believe the Phoenix Suns paid more in luxury tax penalties than the Twins had in salary last year.  We can only hope...

We Twins Daily readers will no longer be subject to the slew of fantasy articles written about potential trade targets and moves the Twins should make,

I do need to admit that I was wrong.  After preaching for weeks that the Twins were not going to add salary via trade, they did add about $700k.  Quite a boon for a -0.4 RP this year

Face it folks:  your 2024 Minnesota Twins are not good.

As of the time of this writing, they are 17-2 vs CHW, COL, LAA, OAK.  These are 4 of the 5 worst teams in baseball.  They are 25-33 against everyone else.

In MLB, they are 10th in runs scored, but 22nd in ERA.

Thank you ownership for taking a WS contending team and intentionally making them worse.
Thank you for taking the TV money and not reinvesting it back in the team.
Thank you for not allowing the FO to go out and getting a quality SP or two to replace the ones that left.
Thank you for not ensuring your fans get to watch their team on television this year by building in a solid out clause.

The articles of who the Twins should trade for need to stop.  No trade is coming that will increase payroll or move a top 10 prospect.

As a lifelong Twins fan, I am utterly disgusted with this year.  You should be too.
