    Have a source within one of the two teams listed above. I was just texted that the deal is all but done, just a couple questions on the 4th piece to come back in the trade. (Hi gang. John Bonnes is editing this quickly. While we at TwinsDaily think DaveW is a helluva guy, we are not verifying this claim. TwinsDaily's forums allow for a free & civil exchange of information, ideas & opinions of our members. That's what this is. And that's cool; we want to groupsource what we're hearing, and I appreciate DaveW taking a personal risk to share this with the community. But, just so we're clear:Twins Daily is NOT reporting this.) Moderator's note: And, just in case someone new stumbles into this thread thinking it might be worth reading all the way through: it almost immediately became a groupsourced humor thread (with occasional updates from the original poster on the nominal topic), with dozens of tangents and sub-tangents, setting some kind of unofficial TD record for length within a short time. Enjoy, if that's your style, because it's all (mostly?) in good fun, but don't invest time looking for officially announced news, because if and when any news actually exists it will be found in a TD article, not a member thread like this one. -- ashburyjohn

    The last thing the Twins should be doing at this stage is trading minor leaguers for "veteran" pitchers. I wouldn't mind Pom or Buch, but I don't want them to give up any player with a potential future here.
  3. DaveW
    Too little too late for the Koch's.
  4. DaveW
    If you say so...

    I'd also be willing to bet anyone that Ramos gives a nice amount of more value in 2 years (1.5 years) then Castro does in 3 years for this team (one extra pitch frame strike per game included!)
  6. DaveW
    Wow, Rays continue to outclass the Twins every step of the way. They get Ramos on a fantastic two year deal, and we get stuck with a 1.0-1.5 WAR catcher for 3 years in Castro. Old habits die hard I suppose, Falvey/Levine should have completely cleaned the rest of the toxic front office house when they had the chance.
  7. DaveW
    Yeah zero chance they deal him.
  8. DaveW
    Santana and Dozier for Kershaw, Kemp, Loney and billingsley

    Ouch, it's a little embarrassing that a team that has been this terrible for this long has a top ten list this mediocre. It's not like we just had a half a dozen studs graduate either. Sano, Kepler, Buxton and Berrios are the only ones it looks like are worth writing home about over the past few seasons. Maybe Polanco as well, but he seems more of a role player. Sano and Buxton both have the star upside though.
  10. DaveW
    Buxton may be faster, but Moncada is clearly the better base stealer at this point. Buxton does have him beat in the field (and arm) no doubt, but give me Moncada's other three tools over him in a heart beat.
  11. DaveW
    100x this It truly illustrates just how poorly this team was ran over the last decade.
  12. DaveW
    Yes he is.
  13. DaveW
    Plenty of teams would give up that first rounder for him.
  14. DaveW
    Moncada is a significantly better prospect then Sano or Buxton.
  15. DaveW
    WOW Sale to the Red Sox. White Sox get Moncada who is a hall of famer in the making.
  16. DaveW
    Why the **** is he doing a "victory" tour anyways? It's ridiculous, the guy needs to be getting ready to be POTUS, not holding more expensive and pointless rallies.

    I mean letters are nice and something is better than nothing, but MOA aren't the victims here, the MOA owners are billionaires who make their money through the leases the stores pay them. But if people in the Twins Cities (which I know a lot of us aren't) want to show support, they should goto the MOA and get their pic/kids pics with Santa at the mall, I'm pretty sure those pictures proceeds goto good causes like 99.9% of the time. I don't have kids yet so it's hard to tell people how to raise their kids, but I think this would be a great time to show them that inclusion is a very very good thing, take them to the mall and talk to them about how a "black Santa" is the exact same as a "white Santa" or something. Also if you want to help and support the mall, go shop at some of the independent stores/retailers at the mall. Yeah the swastikas and such have been showing up here as well, though pretty limited when you are talking about huge ass cities like Chicago and NYC, only takes a couple (literally a couple) bad apples to ruin the basket of millions of decent people living here. The encouraging thing I have seen is outpouring of love and rallies when these incidents happen, in Brooklyn Adam Yauch(MCA from the Beastie Boys) Park had swastikas carved into it, the community response was not one of anger or protest, but a rally of love and support. This was a nice story that came out of it no doubt: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/19/502710608/swastikas-are-painted-at-adam-yauch-park-in-nyc-but-kids-win-the-day

    This story is upsetting on a lot of levels: -First and foremost, it's embarrassing that the idea of a black santa (a made up character for ****s sake!) would offend people to begin with. -It's disappointing that the Huff Post is giving visibility to the internet racists who are being...well...racists, on the internet, I feel this sort of press only fuels more racists to come out of the wood work and be even worse. The reality is, this is more than likely a very very very very very vocal minority of people who are fueling this terrible racist rhetoric, I'm not sure giving them more exposure is the smart thing to do TBH. -Lastly, what the **** is wrong with people? Maybe we deserve the nuclear war emperor Trump is going to lead us into....I just hope I come back reincarnated as a dog or something once the nuclear dust clears.

    One on one baseball skillz are the best aphrodisiacs. Speaking of one on one baseball skills, I need to go back and find the tweets where he was tweeting at Verlander telling him that he would take him yard if he ever faced him
  20. DaveW
    Say hi to Dankind for us as well.
  21. DaveW
    This thread should be used for future elections etc
  22. DaveW
    I think one of Trumps biggest flaws is he wants to be loved by everyone. The good part is that he is keeping an open mind in some areas. Climate change is an actual very serious issue that will impact us for decades to come, so I'm glad he is taking this somewhat seriously at lest.
  23. DaveW
    Yuuuuuupppp
  24. DaveW
    Yeah Tapani is another one who was very underrated.
  25. DaveW
