    IDK, there is no proof that the non renewal of the contract had anything to do with Rosenthal’s comments from over a year ago, but look at it churn away on the net. Tossed out there like the news on your least favorite political station

    https://nypost.com/2022/01/03/ken-rosenthal-out-at-mlb-network-over-rob-manfred-criticism/ Note the date on the article.. They might not have liked what he said in 2020, but they did keep him on. People are pointing to the criticism as to why he was not renewed at the end of the year, but it is all speculation. If baseball is relying to draw younger audiences is an old guy in a bow tie going to do it? You are not young enough to answer the question.. Ageism or anti Boomer, take your pick. The networks are numbers driven

    His contract was not renewed. The timing was due to whenever he started with yearly contracts

    The value of the contract is such that it is a lot of money. The risk might be the never sign a Happ. That is not a bad thing

    Optimism in projections. 131 games would be breaking the trend

    Redmond was a great team player and understood the game. There is a translation problem. Redmond took a team of future batting stars and made them mediocre. Mattingly has not done any better. Redmond should not be the blueprint other than he has been gainfully employed as the bench coach for a mediocre Rockies team. Here is to hoping that Conger can make players better.

    I cab see that last year Martin played in CF or SS. There are people claiming that he is neither a SS or CF. Are both the Toronto and Twins organizations that clueless because there is the oft repeated postings. When was the last time thisTwins FO traded a top prospect.? Do people think that the FO is going to change how they have done business?

    When the title says DEBUT perhaps you should be less critical of meanings of words

    The data for 3 year contracts is a little better only because generally there was only 2 bad years to offset the good one.

    The bar is set low for the term “nearly traded”. Inquiring about a player, loving a player equals nearly traded. The $20 in my wallet says I am nearly a millionaire

    Buxton has played maybe one season without significant time lost. As far as near traded, prove it,

    Sone times it is not hard at all.

    The beauty and failure of the internet.

    I hit the wrong spot on a tablet and got to a page where this article was a choice. Is the team in for another 2014? Baldeli hopes not if history does repeat itself

    Good thing the season doesn’t start tomorrow. With nobody close to stretched out it would be all bullpen games
  17. old nurse
    There were 6 prospects from last year’s fangraphs top 100 that did not graduate to the major leagues. That would be a well above average number of prospects for a team. I guess that must be just natural fertilizer from the horse on the farm

    If John Henry were still running the team the Twins could have gotten all three for Lewis and Larnach had not the pitchers had already been traded to Detroit
  19. old nurse
    Mark Jr was signed by the Cubs. 30 something with a career MLB K% near 20. Perhaps the FO is more concerned with MLB than filling out the back end of the minor league team

    The problem this front office has is that it is still Ryan’s team. Kepler, Buxton, Kiriloff, Poloco, Arraez, Sano, and Garver are all Ryan additions. Miranda and Gordon are also Ryan’s.. In 4 years they have added Donaldson, Jeffer, Celestino, Rooker, and Lanarch with Martin as the next one up. The pitching addition to starting was Maeda and Odorizzi who is now long gone. They have added a lot of potential in Ober and Ryan but nothing else but potential. When you look at what Cleveland has done, their guys are up in a couple of years,not so with the Twins draftees. Years 5 and 6 are going to be pivotable for their careers as front office leaders. The Pohlad model might be tight with the money, but that really isn’t the problem here. A better outfielder really isn’t a concern.

    A club depends on a steady stream of new talent coming up. Despite a rocky 2021 that talent is Kiriloff, Larnach, Rooker and Celeatino. You could even add Contrera, Martin and late in the season Lewis to that mix. Utility players like Gordon and Arraez can be the 4th, Outfielders or 1B is well covered. A steady starter, an interim SS, shutdown relievers ate more pressing needs short term. The trade of am OF for a starter shifts the paradigm, but that is no certainty of happening.
  22. old nurse
    The front office may well be hamstrung by Pohlad. The ghosts of pitchers past in rough order Blackburn extension, Pavano extension, Hughes extension, Nolasco being a dog after signing. Hector Santiago. Now Happ and Shomaker. Pohlad signs off on the large contracts. That was a lot of money down the tubes. Carl Pohlad made his money by buying low and selling high. The baseball structure doesn’t work that way

    A cheater is a cheater. There is no honor in cheating to win, or to lose
  24. old nurse
    A trade would involve getting someone back of value. That would be a very good pitching prospect from a team needing a SS that gas pitching
