If Boston was sold on Casas there wouldn’t be as many different sources saying they are willing to trade him yes Lowe returned to Texas level in Boston. He was a 3 WAR player there. 13.5 is cheap for that. He was traded for a relief pitcher that was not a closer. There is something wrong with this picture. People here have advocated signing him. If Boston does sign players and is over the threshold leverage goes to a buying team in trades. . Boston should love to trade Hicks. To not pay the 24m over 2 years might cost 2 of their top 30 prospects for the return of organizational filler

The Twins are All-In on Royce Lewis (Again)
old nurse replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
35 doubles, 5 HR, 325 OBP and above average defense will put you in the top 50-75 position players -
A lot can change with the spring season.

If Boston thought Lowe could be the guy he was in Texas they would have tendered him. The only was I would sign him is to a minimal contract with incentives. Something was right with him with that big of drop off

The article appears to be a mislabeled Just For Fun article. Not every comment on Twins Daily is going to be serious, Good luck in figuring out which is which.

I now think that Matbe Goldschmidt would be a good idea, Sonny Gray rebounded after a horrific stay in NY, as did Bader, as did Pavano. Some people just do not adapt to New York. Maybe Goldschmidt , a Texan, is one of those people. A rebound year

None of the Pohlads are greedy crowd will ever admit you are correct. Bloated front office doesn’t help the bottom line. https://www.mlb.com/twins/team/front-office Look under group sales and think of attendance. Does that department even pay for itself? Manager game day experience. Paraphrase Al Davis. Just win baby. Lots of check collecting going on. It will be interesting to see if the investors look into the productivity of a lot of these people. The massive scouting executive do not appear to be effective by the number of people listed

Healthy for a season would be a dramatic change. Working on his hitting skills in the offseason with a coach might be a good idea, i think it is possible neither will happen.- 36 replies

They may have attempted to sign Carabello last year. 100k is less than 150K

Maybe the Giants slipped them $10 to make the trade.

Garrett Spain. In the second round of the MiLB draft. I guess they figure on losing Outman when they DFA him. Yup, a poor hitting LH outfielder that has played all 3 spots.

You asked why they would trade Duran and Jax. I told you empty seats. If you don’t get the connection,I don’t really care

Vasil and Smith did fairly well last year. It is possible to find two

The author does a fine job of laying out what these player won’t be selected. 1.5 WAR players are useful to winning only when the team has 3 players capable of 4 war if the thought was any of the position players were capable of 2+ WAR they would be protected. Wells shows why oft injured pitchers are a bad investment. They are good trade bait to get AAA outfielders
-
The numbers seems to vary by what they need yo be at the time.

Try again.

A million reasons, all empty seats

27 Yankees won it all with only one decent bullpen arm. See, it can be done Of course the dude pitched 213 innings

4th worst record in baseball, or the 9th worst record in the AL is no different.

Corner outfielder, sub par bat 3 out of the last 4 seasons he was with the Twins. The one season he had the hot late season surge. You wonder why he wasn’t trade and you complain on over valuing. Bennintendi had a better bat. When KC traded him they got 3 organizational fillers. There was no Va value to be gained by trading Kepler

$70 million in upgrades, to the scoreboard. They have done other upgrades to the park, loss of television revenue, no fan income 2020, limited 2021, losses in sponsorships, they paid everyone during the shutdown where other teams laid off. Does that total however any millions they claim.? Maybe. Baseball courtesy of the Wilpons and McCort has rules against a team borrowing against a team for outside reasons. That is why you or others can’t prove the money was spent outside the Twins

You can’t even remember your own claims?

This is why they buy into sports franchises https://www.propublica.org/article/eight-takeaways-from-propublicas-investigation-of-how-sports-owners-use-their-teams-to-avoid-taxes

Prove the money was used for private expenses, prove that spending $80 millions would pay for itself. You can’t do either.
