    There were multiple offseason reports exactly like this: "Reporting during the offseason indicated that Buxton would consider waiving his no-trade clause for the right opportunity" Buxton would have accepted a trade if the Twins were going into rebuild mode. With a fairly promising 2025 season behind him, the timing would have been ideal. He can't be traded now, you're right, and we all do have to let that go. There's no trade value remaining there whatsoever, and it would just be a bad look to even try. But there was once a time when it was possible.

    It's almost like creating a plan for a championship is more important to fan enthusiasm than empty promises. Huh. Tom Pohlad will have to look into newfangled theories like this in the offseason.

    Looking at a team that went 70-92, lost their SS and their entire bullpen and added nothing in the offseason and thinking, "We can bring all this back next year and be a winner" is a delusion/blunder so great that it deserves to be studied in college classrooms. We've all been over this, I know. It's a dead horse, I know. But some of us saw this coming back in the wintertime, and we're wondering why the rest of you didn't. The Twins are undoubtedly in a worse place moving forward than they needed to be.

    Do they know that it's legal in MLB to score runs after the second inning? Maybe Shelton should clarify this in a pregame meeting tomorrow, just to be sure. There are a few young players on the team.
  5. LastOnePicked
    Are you his agent, PP? I hope you're right.

    Ever since the Phillies series, losses no longer bother me. Play tough baseball, give the youngsters a chance and let the chips fall wherever they may. If they fall to a top-ten pick, no one will hear me complain.
  7. LastOnePicked
    Well, they did their darnedest to make that happen.
  8. LastOnePicked
    Beers should be priced to the team batting average with runners in scoring position over the last ten games.
  9. LastOnePicked
    And here I thought you were a longtime Twins fan.

    First of all, please be adversarial. I am a crank. I want to see people with more optimism win a few arguments. I never take any of this stuff personally. Second, that's a good point. It remains to be seen if these Sox have built something sustainable or if this is a blip. And the Twins should be fairly stocked, yes. If you've been consistently missing the playoffs, you should have a drafting advantage. That's how the system should work. I just don't see it yet for the Twins. Defense and pitching seem exceedingly weak, and those are the most important factors for building a winner. Jenkins could hit .325, but it won't matter much if Prielipp is anchoring your rotation in 2029.

    Carry on. That's a better stage anyways. I've been stuck in anger since February.
  12. LastOnePicked
    That's helpful. Where does the pitching pipeline rank? Nevermind. I looked it up. Not in anyone's top ten. Something this organization better start thinking seriously about, or it's gonna be a frustrating first few years for these top catchers.

    Hope is a helluva drug. But the side effects are pretty rough. Plans are always a better choice than hope.

    Gang, they are seven games under .500. SEVEN GAMES UNDER .500. The fork is already stuck in. The wrap is already wrapped. I can read the credits, and it says "Produced by Tom Pohlad."
  15. LastOnePicked
    Absolutely. I'm not knocking these guys. They were hyped for good reason. The organization just didn't know how to build a complete team around them. And they still don't.
  16. LastOnePicked
    Yes, and to be fair, many of their highly-touted slugging prospects had very good years. We were right to be excited about these guys. The trouble is that the organization forgot that you actually need a pitching staff and - even better - a system that can develop MLB quality pitchers. It's a lesson they still haven't learned.
  17. LastOnePicked
    Hmm. Seems more like the future is now for the White Sox. How they went from 100+ losses to taking control of the AL Central is a mystery. We all know for a fact that rebuilds don't work - we've been told that time and time again from folks here - so my only other guess is sorcery and dark magic. Shame on them.
  18. LastOnePicked
    Once it was Buxton, Rosario, Polanco and Kepler. Then it was Lewis, Kirilloff, Rooker and Larnach. A farm system is supposed to produce legit major leaguers, and pretty much every team has four young guys very much like these four. But you need a pitching staff and a bullpen. And you need a FO capable of signing the right free agents. I'm excited for these guys, I really am, but the last quartets of can't-miss prospects didn't win anything here. Not sure that I see anything different happening with this organization this time, either,
  19. LastOnePicked
    We'll be 0-0 after the lockout, so that's a wise bet. That may be the only time we hit .500 that year, though.
  20. LastOnePicked
    More often than not, that approach leads to losses.
  21. LastOnePicked
    A little bounce-back fight early and just lifeless play late. Pretty much the entire season in just one game.
  22. LastOnePicked
    Nope.
  23. LastOnePicked
    Brooks Lee Signature Game?
  24. LastOnePicked
    Can't be. We know rebuilds and restructurings never work.
  25. LastOnePicked
    The '26 Twins are looking more and more like the team that people expected the '26 White Sox to be.
