The Twins could potentially steal Correa back?

Of course he could rebound in Minnesota. Hell, Nelson Cruz had the best season of his career at 39 years here. That being said, it’s not likely at all, which is why I strongly dislike the signing. I think we’re most likely going to see him be a Miguel Sanó-type player (with three true outcomes) who makes a good lineup better and a bad lineup worse. And without Correa, we definitely have the latter.

Blasphemy! I am the real Butch Huskey!

I would do it for 3/$30M! Where do I sign?

I don't want any of those three. Why not let Miranda play 3B, the position he played throughout the minors? No need to add Justin Turner. We have plenty of Joey Gallo's and AJ Pollock's on our roster already.

The Chicago White Sox and RHP Mike Clevinger have reportedly agreed on a one-year, $8M deal. Per Scott Merkin of MLB.com, this deal also has a mutual 2024 option worth $12M, with a $4M buyout. Clevinger underwent Tommy John Surgery, causing him to miss the entirety of 2021. Upon his return in 2022, he posted a 4.33 ERA in 114.1 IP through 23 appearances. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/12/white-sox-in-agreement-with-mike-clevinger.html View full rumor

Welcome to Twins Daily!

Due to the flavor of the fruits of past offseasons, I have reason to believe Falvey and Levine would make every single one of these deals.

Haniger would be a solid addition, no doubt.

@USAFChief @wsnydes Hmm…I’m at the station right now and I found a $10 bill laying on the ground five minutes ago.

I'm no insider, but I presume their experiment looked something like this:

It appears that Falvine need to increase payroll for the Twins to have a chance at a World Series title in 2023. It would be ill-advised to spend a great deal on a shortstop but nickles and dimes on starting pitchers and relief pitchers, due to the fact that this plan has malfunctioned in previous years. Accordingly, Falvine would be shrewd to allocate their funds to starting pitchers and relief pitchers. Relief pitching specifically has been a major constituent in the team's failures during the past four seasons. Nevertheless, shortstop is an awfully important position on the baseball field, one that Falvine cannot afford to neglect this offseason. All Twins fans are au courant of the complications that arise when the team is without a serviceable defensive shortstop. If Falvine is to forsake the shortstop position this offseason, the Twins will suffer as a result. Therefore, Falvine have no choice but to enlarge payroll in 2023. If acquiring Carlos Correa and Carlos Rodon is feasible, Falvine would be astute to do so. Even then, relief pitching remains a need. They are obliged to attack it aggressively this offseason, so as to eliminate any imaginable implosion in the season's commencement. While some might claim that ownership of a closer is overvalued, I assert that it is the sine qua non for any team aspiring to win the World Series. There are several "fireballers" available this offseason. The Twins' bullpen would be strikingly improved with the addition of such a "fireballer" to pair with the amazing Johan Duran. Overall, Falvine needs to facilitate significant additions at the shortstop, starting pitcher, and relief pitcher positions so as to compete for a World Series title in 2023. They will be required to raise the team's payroll in order to execute this.

We’re winning the World Series?!?!

How I wish MLB had a salary cap...

I would like to see the Twins get something for Pagan. Although, I’m not sure who would be willing to trade for him. He was rough this year.

Will the Twins Pursue Aaron Judge? Sure. Even pigs will learn to fly eventually. If that's possible, anything is possible!

It would be an upgrade from what they (the Sox) currently have

Rocco needs to get his team prepared sufficiently for each of these opponents, regardless of how talented each team might be. This team struggles to beat the ****ing Rangers. If we can't beat the Rangers, no win against any of the five teams you listed is guaranteed. I think the Twins can win 2 of 3 against Boston, 5-6 of 9 against Chicago, 4 against Cleveland, and maybe 2-3 of 7 combined against Houston and New York. I'd be surprised if it's much more than that, but I wouldn't be if it's less than that.

Someone ask Rocco why this team can’t hit the ball when they have Byron Buxton & Carlos Correa hitting in their lineup. I thought this would be one of the best duos in baseball. Clearly that hasn’t been the case as of late. Neither have been able to hit the damn ball. Edgar Varela needs to get the boot next year. This offense has been the biggest disappointment ever since he took over. Bring back James Rowson any way you can.

Jose Miranda all the way

That is a true statement. Also I don’t give a ****.

I wish the Twins would play like this more often
