    Whoa, whoa, just a minute! 1. No one is saying efforts weren’t made. 2. It’s not an “assumption” when there are literally decades of history backing up the point. 3. Again, no one said they should be in on every FA. 4. One of the main reason players don’t want to come here is because they don’t spend money or win in the playoffs. The Twins do NOT have a “boatload “ of talent coming off injuries! They have a bunch of prospects coming off injury that may or may not be successful MLB players… one day. They “upgraded” at catcher? ANY catcher signed would be an upgrade. (I hope he works out, but no one should be pretending he’s a starter). They got a placeholder for Ss. Again, no one is pretending Farmer is a starter. He is “place holding for a rookie coming off his 2nd ACL surgery. He may or may not recover well enough to ever play SS competently. Given the Twins history, Lee is years away from being in the lineup. (Gotta guard that service time!) This isn’t you saying tomato and us saying tomatto. It’s us being realistic and you being a rose-colored glasses homer. (Not that there’s anything wrong with either position). I do think there is a plan. I think the plan is to play .500 ball and hope we get lucky, same as it ever was.

    “Rather than columns of names, positions, ages, and salaries, the screen cut to black, a black as eternal and smothering as a starless winter night. From the laptop speakers came what at first sounded like a low moan. It soon escalated into a mournful, broken howl. The sound, not quite human, not quite animal, made clear it was no stranger to the depths of sorrow.” This paragraph isn’t up to your usually high standards. I did like ‘no stranger to the depths of sorrow” and the rest of the essay though.

    Five years $175M. No more.

    “Will the Real Trevor Larnach Please Stand Up”. Not without help.

    Preview =Spam. Got it.
  6. Reptevia
    You should tell us it’s spam in the title.
  7. Reptevia
    I agree with Lee and Rodriguez.
  8. Reptevia
    They need to sign the next Sidd Finch.

    A few things which have been touched upon: Kiriloff may never play again, and folks on here keep penciling him in. Larnach has shown nothing special, yet he keeps getting penciled in. Do people really think Lee Will basically jump from college ball to the MLB in under a year??? Based on the Twin’s history, he has at LEAST two years of minor league ball to play before he is a regular in the lineup. You think he will spend less time in the minors than Mauer did??? Nothing but dreams and unreasonable expectations on here.

    “They are also trading for players past the most realistic opportunity to lock them up long-term. Mahle is going to be way more interested in getting to free agency than whatever discounted contract the Twins could offer. They only window the Twins have to lock up players at the prices they're willing to pay is before the player reaches arbitration. Once they're a year away from free agency the player is going to bet on themselves. BTW - Joe Ryan is in that window.” So was Randy Dobnak. I liked that signing at the time, and I like it for Ryan and Miranda now.

    I don’t think they’re even actively pursuing a starter at this point. I think they’re happy to roll with what they have. They may add a reliever or two if available at a reasonable price. If someone (any position) falls into their laps, they may add someone. This team is not one starter away or one position player away. Doesn’t really make financial sense to add more just to add. Will a Pablo Lopez raise our win total? Maybe a couple..Will that make us competitive? Probably not. Will it get people to come to games? Probably not. I don’t see this owner/FO throwing good money after bad. Call it a soft rebuild going into 2024, or call it more mediocrity.

    If I would have known it was a spam call, I would have sent it to voicemail.
  13. Reptevia
    I suspect they will go after quantity rather than quality.
  14. Reptevia
    Can Joey Galloway rebound from rock bottom (in Minnesota)? I guess we’ll find out in 2024.
  15. Reptevia
    And the dWar of those outfielders will skyrocket!
  16. Reptevia
    “This signing only makes good sense if Kepler is dealt, at least for me. I guess it's possible they think both larnach and AK are too hurt to start the year, otherwise they are blocking at least one of them if Kepler is still here. ”. Or maybe they KNOW Kepler WILL be dealt and Maybe they KNOW AK and Larnach are far from returning? There is a lot WE just don’t know.

    This is Minnesota after all. The path of least resistance will be taken. Bally’s will win a modest contract, and a large portion of the fans will still be unable to watch games. It’s getting to the point where I’d almost prefer to stream cricket.
  18. Reptevia
    Another good one Stu.
  19. Reptevia
    Swanson won’t come here either. Why would he?
  20. Reptevia
    Just no. It would be an overpay for either one. By the way, that means we would be paying much more than their worth to the team. Either in dollars or years.
  21. Reptevia
    Because they’re in the business of making money, not players. Player’s are just a commodity for revenue generation.
  22. Reptevia
    This just in: Twin’s trade for Chris Davis! We will control him through his age 51 season!!!
  23. Reptevia
    Pivot #5: Roll with what we have. They’re not going to (and shouldn’t) spend money just to spend. Like it or not, it’s time to rebuild until there is a glimmer of hope that the window is opening again. It’s slammed shut with a big drift blocking it now.
  24. Reptevia
    The roster is pretty much set. They’re not (and shouldn’t) sign Rodon to a 7 year contract. Anyone below that is a marginal upgrade at best. Sign a reliever or two and an outfielder.
  25. Reptevia
    How good will his pop time and throwing out runners be when Twins insist he point his left leg at third base every pitch? Should improve his low strike stealing though…
