Yes, your comments do show you know the meaning of those words

Revenue sharing will be a difficult thing to change. For the high value teams it is the revenue or the potential for revenue that drives the price up. There was an article behind a paywall that said in the headline that the Dodgers generated over 1 billion in revenue after revenue sharing, the tram revenue was somewhere around 780 million. Increasing the revenue sharing decreases the value of the clubs. The teams at the top of the revenue sharing are going tp want something in return for changing the system.

Perhaps you should do that.

According to Merriam-Webster, "dumping on someone" means to criticize or verbally abuse them, often showing a lack of respect According to Merriam-Webster, to "razz" means to heckle, deride, or tease, often in an informal and playful or unkind way.

Glen Taylor wanted to back out of the sale. The valuation of the franchise had gone up 500 million that situation brass no resemblance to anything known about the Twins franchise no matter how you want to spin it.

The value of the twins did not go up like the Timberwolves did during the protracted handover.

My dad thought he was born 2 years after he really was born The insistence that the government was stupid was changed with the ability to get money

Thanks for once again showing that one needs to write a book so somebody will not insist their meaning of the word is what you meant.

Got to put something in there once in a while to see who spends time commenting on nothing

Once again a website error. Editing done to ensure I don’t have to type a third ———- time. The difference high to low on draft pool money last year or the year before was 12 million. The difference in IFA money was about 2 million. Due to trades for IFA money, competitive balance picks, picks lost or gained in compensation are big reasons for the disparity at the extremes. Rank by Payroll (dead money included) IFA + Draft pool might be a better way to rank. Don’t hold your breath waiting for someone to do that math. You might get a TBI from the fall. Operating costs can vary by cheapness. Pittsburg according to a longtime sportswriter in Pittsburg who is now a blogger, says that the other year was 171 million. DBSports I think was his website. Decent, thought out writing, Baseball America saw from public financial records Atlanta had expenses listed at 505 million, that year their payroll was 235 or 245. So that leaves 265 or so for operating costs and draft+IFA. A different article somewhere else once stated that all teams retry much spend the same amount of minor league operations at about 20 million., How do you get a cheaper front office? Less executives, less advisor to whomever positions, less sales weenies, less customer service reps and less scouting would be my guess. Again, don’t hold your breath on that one. In regards to something you posted earlier, give the staff of TD credit for knowing their market as complaining about the owner does nothing but create clicks. A well thought out column on baseball appears not to. Yes there was another run error during typing

Nothing is wrong with it. The subject though is as useless as teats on a boar pig.

Lots of years and money for a 30 year old

There is nothing objective about any rating. It is an emotional argument

Goldschmidt has been in decline for the last 2 years. He is now below average hitter for a 1b. Larnach had an OPS of .727 and people are calling to get rid of him, now you want to add a hitter with a .732 OPS. Outman can be DFAd, Martin, Larnach, Roden, and Martin all have options remaining. They do not have to trade anyone to open a roster spot. About the only way they would get traded is to be included with a prospect in trade for a MLB level player

There are fans of 13-14 clubs who say their owner is the worst. Miami, the Athletics and Pittsburgh are run for the owner’s profit. Nobody other than the Mets operate to lose money. Rating them is a nonsensical thing

In the last seven days there have been 2 articles on who is available for rule 5 draft, one on who has been DFAd, one on non tendered relievers, one on non tendered starters, and 2 on non tendered bats. So far that means the Twins Daily writers must see the solution to what Nick brings up is more of the same. Somewhere Kafka is laughing

Jim Pohlad controls the money.

Forbes says Twins et 50 per fan. 48%of that goes into revenue sharing. The Twins drew about 2.2 million while winning 101. Games. 3 million came out only after winning a WS and the opening of a new ballpark

The value of the club is not appreciably changed by the won loss record. In recent years the difference in fan revenue winning or losing is not that large of difference in the total revenue

Dumped on is not razzing.

Young versus inexperienced is a semantics argument The young of nursing was anyone new to the level of skill they were working. Larnach was not traded because he is not what either a contending team would add, nor a rebuilding team would add. He would be what was traded with another player if what was coming back was a bat first player. He was kept likely because of the uncertainty of the rest of the outfielders. Outman is still on the roster because there were other players more needing to be cut when there was a need to cut.

Considering they asked for Duran or the other starting outfielder and wanted quality prospects, I don’t think Ryan is going anywhere.

Yup, the Twins need a first baseman and a bullpen. Yup the Twins have a lot of unproven staters. If there was any doubt about it, the 100th article and the millionth comment about these three things should be erased with this article and comments section. Analytically is there any way to get Julian back hitting like he did as a rookie? Are Beaurgie and Shelty the guys to do it? Is. Out of Lopez, Ryan, Ober, SWR, are starters Bradley, Abel, Mathews, and Festa for the last spot along with Kline and Morris for the 5th spot.As they really have nothing really to gain by being in AAA, do the losers become every fourth day bulk relievers? At least idle speculation of what they could be doing is something other than rehashing the same old thing.

No one on this site is free from being dumped on.

That was Rumsfeld in response to being questioned on why the military sent the soldiers off to war to be maimed and killed in Humvees with little armor to protect the soldiers. The callousness of the response was astounding.
