  1. The Twins Daily writer clearly cannot read. Passan clearly said "teams look at what the Twins are asking for to acquire Duran or Jax -- at least two top-100-caliber prospects". Passan says 2 top-100 prospects for Duran OR Jax. Not for a package of both.

  3. Were they supposed to fly him to Seattle before sending him to AAA? Instead they flew him to Omaha and he was available to play on Thursday. There is value in assembling a talented team at AAA and in McCusker getting at-bats after getting 6 at-bats during his 9 games in the MLB roster.
  4. Damn Gregg! Well put. I want him to be a baseball pariah forever.
  5. Is it possible to get a translation of what and when SWR had for velocity?? 2025, 2024, mid-90's, 93.1, 92.5...?
  6. Triston Casas was not traded for a quality pitcher for the same reason that Pete Alonzo is still waiting for a free-agent contract. The production difference is not worth the asking costs in dollars or players. Casas sounds a lot like a left-handed Jose Miranda, though a little more consistent.
  7. This more satirical than anything RandBall has ever written.
  8. Twins Writers, Pencil Pushers of the Realm, Push an Old, Sorry Trope instead of Original Thought and Writing!
  9. The mythology around Torri and Morneau makes for a good story but the reality is different. Neither one bounced up and down several times. They each had one decently long stretch stretch in MLB, was sent down once for a stretch and was then back up for good. You can actually look it up.
  10. You know Cal Ripken? He's the guy who comes to work when he has the flu and gets everyone else sick but gets a gold star for just showing up.
  11. In each case, it seems the Twins are giving way too much or literally nothing for the return. Keoni Cavaco for Mark Canha? Caleb Boushley for Ryan Pressley? Only if the PTBNL is a top 15 prospect. Rengifo for Keaschall +? It would be theft if the Angels got Keashall by himself. Please have some sense of reality in these scenarios.
  12. Never invest a lot of trade capital in a reliever.
  13. How does a former Umpire get away with saying that the umpires actually call an egg-shaped strike zone? My mind wanted to explode on that one!
  14. Using a single offensive statistic. But no one (except maybe some hater Mets fans) truly believes that he is overall only 17% better than the average MLB player.
  15. Francisco Lindor: 16.8 FWAR over 3 seasons in NY (and 12.6 FWAR in the last 2) is leaps and bounds better than "only 17% above league average".
