Injury history-check. Batting average under .200-check. Multiple DFA’s-check. Add in a few Rule 5 picks of similar stature and they will probably be done.
Dude has one start. Calm down! If the Twin’s had drafted him, he would be playing golf, and he wouldn’t see the MLB field for at least another 3 years.
Agree with the trades. No major league team should have Vasquez, Outman or Gasper on it. Can’t really have Larnach AND Wallner either. Martin, Lee and Clemens on VERY short leashes.
It’s irrelevant if the FO isn’t cleared out first. Falvey will never give a manager complete control, and that is the only way anything changes. I suspect they will just bring in Rocco 2.0.
The fact that all these prospects were good in the minors but it ends under Rocco ‘s (and his hand-picked staff) says it does matter who the manager is. They have not taken one position player prospect and turned him into MLB quality. Did the FO miss on EVERY pick? Fire the entire FO.
The NFL also has what appears to be a completely arbitrary challenge system. The outcome of a challenge all too often has no basis in objective reality. If the strike zone works, use it. If not, don’t.
No. The pivotal point was the payroll dum after winning a playoff series. That led to this mediocre roster. Winning games doesn’t factor into their decision making.
The Pohlad’s (nor the fans) believe this team is competitive. The window is painted shut. They will likely trade Pablo and Ryan, and at that point, Buxton should demand a trade.
Agreed. Once they trade Lopez/Ryan, give up on Lewis, lose Jefferson to FA/too much money, and Buxton demands a trade or retires, what’s left? Basically an expansion team.
