    So you say there is an opening in Cleveland…. It would be a boon to Keplers season to send Bauer there. if he is poisonous for the clubhouse I agree. Since all my info is second hand, I am ok if Twins management gives him a short leash ( meaning if he acts up in any way he’s out) too.

    Even though Correa is still a free agent, he is still entertaining us Twins Fans with all this offseason drama. This is just such a great show. I am going to sit back with my popcorn and enjoy the last few episodes before spring training.

    I think he knows he’s under the gun and would watch himself. If not cut bait quickly. Like Acewrigley said Falvey would know him from his time in Cleveland. All I am saying is here is a way to get him for free. Can he recover publicly??? I don’t know but I think if he did lots of community involvement to improve his image or for atonement, was a good / quiet teammate and stay’s out of trouble he could be the ace we are clamoring for.
  5. Brandon
    Like I said I don’t know about his troubles with being abusive or being a bad teammate. But free is free and doesn’t cost a thing.
  6. Brandon
    I don’t know his whole situation, I haven’t followed it. But what I do see is an opportunity to trade someone on their way out the door for a free flyer. For potentially an ace. Again the trade I proposed is set up for the Twins to be able to cut from without any cost. I haven’t heard any remorse from Marwin or Correa either.
  7. Brandon
    I think we should trade Enlow to the Dodgers for them to pay all of his contract so if at anytime we decide he’s a cancer in the clubhouse we can cut him and it cost us nothing since Enlow is likely out the door anyway. This is a chance at a free ace. Everyone deserves a shot at redemption. If we can sign Correa and Martin Gonzalez then we can give a short leash to Bauer.
  8. Brandon
    If we can sign Correa do we sign Bauer to a 720,000 contract with the rest paid by the Dodgers? That would give us an ace pitcher....

    I wonder if MLB stepped in and said something to Cohen along the lines if teams lose revenue cause he signs all of the star players the league will suffer as a whole for it and he needs to let other teams sign a star player for that reason.
  10. Brandon
    This is a good way to go back and evaluate our farm system. It looks to be pretty productive.
  11. Brandon
    Why do we need to move on? If we can get back in and get Correa that will be a big win for 2023 Twins. Sure we’re are likely a willing pawn in this but until he is a Met we still have a chance. Also we provide an opportunity to stay at SS while he has to move to third with the Mets. Anyways I can watch this play out through spring training if need be cause what else are the Twins gonna do? A rebuild?
  12. Brandon
    It seems Correa is re-engaging with another team. That would fix the offseason if the Twins sign him and a reliever.
  13. Brandon
    He does have the talent to be a 40/40 guy. He is kinda of like Eric Davis. a guy who had incredible talent but couldn't stay healthy for a full season either. He did do better than Buxton has but man that guy could hit and run too. Eric Davis Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Rookie Status & More | Baseball-Reference.com

    I'm rooting for Theilbar to end up with at least 500-600 games pitched when he retires. that's 4-5 more seasons of 60-70 appearances per season.
  15. Brandon
    This move is fine as either a 1- or 2-year deal. We have 3 free agent starters next offseason. While it would be nice to keep one of the three it's not likely if they have good seasons. I think Wacha can be a serviceable starter. They should pay him more off of his FIP then ERA. But a 2 year 24-30 million won't break the bank. I don't really see the need for another starter as we already have 5 maybe 6 starters for next season (Gray, Ryan, Mahle, Ober, Maeda maybe Winder), other than to give our prospects more time to develop and have more depth. Of SWR, Varland, Balazovich, Winder, Ober, and Paddack, we need at least 2 of these guys to be established as a rotation arm by next season. preferably 3. Hopefully Prielipp will be close to MLB ready after next season as well. Hopefully he is in AA at the end of the season.

    I thought it might be fun for the community to come together to help one of the Twins Pitchers. (Josh Winder, Trevor Megill, Pagan, or Lopez) become the pitcher he was meant to be. For us to do that we need members to post scouting reports, pitching repertoire, heat maps, and videos, and more below and discuss how we as a community would fix this pitcher to make him better. Whether you want to remove an ineffective pitch from his arsenal, add a pitch, change pitch use patterns, is he tipping pitches, or does he need to overhaul his delivery. Back it up with stats, and videos and stuff. Let’s really dive in and help a pitcher get back on track. For a few ideas, here are some after adjustment articles written by Parker Hageman and Nick Nelson. Let’s be the ones to help a pitcher figure it out with suggestions below for a change instead of waiting for management to try and we read another story that happened without our input. How The Twins May Have Contributed To Jorge López's No Good Very Bad Stretch - Twins - Twins Daily by Parker Hageman Or Let's Talk About Emilio Pagán - Page 2 - Twins - Twins Daily by Nick Nelson Lets get this started by figuring out who needs our advice the most. These 4 pitchers are still with the team and had the least success. 1. Jorge Lopez, 2. Emilio Pagan, 3. Josh Winder, 4. Trevor Megill

    This is a more normal offseason move for the Twins. We still need to sign fellow minor league contractor Minaya. But at least Coloumbe is more left handed of the two if we can only afford one of them in this crazy offseason.
  18. Brandon
    I would like to see pics of Correa in uniform for each of these teams/ Waffle House/ Fellowship of the Ring…..
  19. Brandon
    I didn’t mean right this minute but in the next year or two before they hit arbitration maybe Miranda, Ryan, Jeffers, I would do a 3-4 year extension with Arreaz now with an option year or two. Killeroff if he has a strong bounce back season. I would probably wait to see Lewis healthy the rest of this season and all of next before approaching him….
  20. Brandon
    Either all 5 for the Twins since I follow them the most. I could be fine with 1 of them going to the Vikings. The Timberwolves need to relocate so there is more entertainment money for the Twins to help them get to 4 or 5 World Series Titles.
  21. Brandon
    Hopefully we start signing some of these younger guys to long term contracts like Atlanta has done. They have a great core in the starting lineup and they are locked up for the next 5+ years.
  22. Brandon
    I still think adding an 11th year at 20 million is not too bad. Inflation at 7% will half that in terms of value by then. If it gets the deal done…of course medical are the issue maybe make the last year contingent on one of a few scenarios 1. Pass a physical. 2. Get 400 plate appearances in year 10 or 850 in years 9&10. 3. Maybe have a 10 million buyout for the 11th year as well. Adding an opt out after year 5 or 6 if we need to be creative. I do think the Twins can get back in this. I think they should since they don’t really have a great option there. If they sign him and a solid bullpen arm it would be a successful offseason for the Twins. This would set the Twins up well in negotiations for the new TV contract. Payroll needs to go up with 14 teams over 200 million in payroll. We should at least be in the 160 million range.

    according to this article https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/12/which-teams-are-slated-to-pay-the-luxury-tax-in-2023.html There are 14 teams over $200 million in payroll for next season. I hope there is a lot of penalties for exceeding the threshold going to lower revenue teams and that they are going to spend the money on their teams so they can keep up. This makes the Twins budget so small in comparison. There is a growing divide between teams that have means and don't. At this rate the small market teams are basically farm teams for the big market teams. I wonder if this will prevent other cities from entertaining the idea of a relocation or expansion teams if new teams get added if they know from the get go that they wont be able to compete financially with the big market teams.

    Being 41% better than the average player is typically an All Star. That was his end of season numbers.
  25. Brandon
    Bassit and maybe Contreras are the two we missed out on. Though The Catcher we did sign will be a good value too.
