    Batted ball location would suggest that Kepler will benefit from the 2b no longer being able to be in short right. What the Twins have had to play in the outfield the last 2 years would indicate not the greatest outfield depth. The multiple injuries over the last 2 years show the need for depth If Miller is more than a back end starter as a ceiling the Mariners are not going to trade him for Kepler. Unless you think that Seattle is desperate enough for an OF. That desperation might not show itself until spring training

    Swanson had a career year in a contract year. A one year contract would be just fine. Not many middle infielders continue to produce past 33. Jeter was great until 35. I really can’t for the long term see them signing anybody for what Boras will demand

    Nearly all the trades proposed are not going to get done. Miami would be more likely to trade Lopez and prospects for a better RBI bat than Arraez and prospects. On the interesting side, Lopez is why you trade for low level prospects when your team is not doing well. He was part of a package for a reliever having a decent season. I really don’t think the Twins will trade Arraez unless they get a very good package back. He is available for a good price. If they intended on moving him for any other reason they would have kept Urshela

    IfArraez may well be what he was last year for 5-10 years. People are saying that he may have peaked. That Lopez is at the same point in his career the same be true for him. If a team was going to overpay Miami for a pitcher I would go for Max Murphy

    Arraez may well be what he was last year for 5-10 years. That Lopez had a career year last year also begs the question is that a peak for him? My bet would be Arraez over Lopez

    The idea of a Chris Bassit signing seems like a good one until you remember he had TJ about 2016. Eovaldi, injury prone again Unfortunately, Archer, Shoemaker, Happ have proved there are bad 1 year contracts,

    Prove farm system rankings mean anything. In the recent ruleV draft there were many top 30 prospects of organizations available. 15 players were taken, only 2 were top 30 prospects. Clearly prospect rankings did not mean much to front offices and scouting.

    No more halfway measures. Was trading for Gray, Paddack, Lopez and Fulmer halfway measures? They did not all work out. San Diego made moves, they worked. Fans came out. Texas made moves. They did not work, attendance remained the same. There are excuses why attendance is down but Al Davis was correct. The thing is that there is the talent there on the team, there is the matter of luck. There are only about 30-40 pitchers every year that make all of their starts. None of them were Twins. There were only 130 qualified batters per fangraphs, only 3 were Twins. The halfway problem is finding players that stay on the field

    What player that the current front office let go has had any sort of career? Trades are a different matter

    The 20% stake in the sports network must have an impact on the cash flow The reality is as a private business we have no idea what the profit is. Everybody claims to know revenue yet with revenue sharing and the rules aligned with that, again not really revenue=how much the team can spend
  11. old nurse
    Nyoman are wrong on the spend money to make money. It comes down to “Just win, baby. In the early part of this century the fans came out for a winning team that they were not spending money on.

    If Hamels has recovered from his surgery there is more than a decent chance he could be a sub 4 FIP pitcher. That is better than most pitchers

    Contract not signed yet. A good catcher. If the top seven hitters are back and healthy they do not need great production from the catcher. If he helps the pitchers be better that has tons more value

    15 selections, only 2 were ranked by Milb as top 30 prospects in their now former organizations https://www.mlb.com/news/rule-5-draft-results-2022

    Season long hamstring issues may have had an effect. His rh split at home was the most off, Target field could be part of the factor. Different pitchers have catcher issues. Was there different outcomes with different catchers? Don’t know the exact source of the problem. The outcome was known

    The Sox would make a trade that would make them better now and the future. It would be MLB level prospect and other prospects. The Sox. Have good bullpen pieces. The Sox’s in my opinion are fishing for a steal.
  17. old nurse
    Trea Turner or Nick Gordon? Brandon Nimmo or Bubba Starling? Kyle Tucker or somebody who didn’t pan out and I forgot the name already? Lots of luck involved in the draft
  18. old nurse
    What is most likely to get traded are high ceiling prospects that are not near major league ready for thee pitching prospects. The need at the major league level is going to be there for that pitcher sooner or later. High ceiling position players it depends on what is ahead or just behind them. Lee wont go anywhere without SS being settled. Julian. Won’t go anywhere if they think Polanco is going to be injury prone or fading

    Never for Miami, but the Twins have done OK, Mets got Thor for Dickey
  20. old nurse
    Reynolds can ask for a trade but the team still has 3 years of control
  21. old nurse
    Dickey was traded to Seattle after he was returned by Seattle. Nit picky, but as long as people are being that way about Santana, who the Twins couldn’t send down to the minors that year, I thought the more nits the merrier

    When the team reached 42-0 and Judge already hir his 25 home run with Arraez already on base there might be sell outs then. To spend as the Dodgers, Yankees and the like, every fan would have to spend about $100. Merchandise is a league thing, The Twins do not get parking revenue, and there is the revenue sharing that goes on.
  23. old nurse
    You can say they are NOT a small market team. They are not a large market team, either. The differences between the Twins revenue and the top 8-9 teams was close to 100 million

    An old dude on another team came back from IJ and did pretty good. Pitched almost 200 innings when his season was finally over, picked up some hardware. In other words he returned to what he was. The problem for Marea becomes what is his recovery? Is he really the 2020 pitcher or the spot starter he was with the Dodgers? Time will tell

    Angel, Dodgers, Texas, Atlanta, Giants all have been linked to Hanniger
