When I was a kid there was a rich guy talking to my dad. He was a wheeler and dealer in many areas. He was grousing a little bit on not making any money on a deal. He then stated “But I knew I wasn’t going to make any money on them”. So I asked him why he did it. His response stuck. “Not everything you do is just for the money” Another guy who was a land broker said pretty much the same thing.. a house flipper said the same thing The other thing is that even if they are no taking a profit, they are still making money. There are articles out there explaining it.. Contact you knowledgeable tax attorney. Balmer saved 77 million in tax money owning the Clippers it is a world most don’t live in.

The recipient of what is available at a distressed sale price, or someone willing to se;ll what you overpay for. The key word was seeking. Sorry, I might remember to put it ic caps next time so you notice what the subject of the sentence was, not the action of the subject

Again, where is the evidence that there is profit. Results on the field., the game day experience department are not a sign of profit.
-
Like I said, what evidence? Multiple posy’s, mo evidence.

Real investment in the roster in the past did not bring the fans out. People use the mantra invest all the time. It didn’t work to bring in fans at 165 million. It didn’t work when the team was in first place the whole season. Invest implies return. There isn’t return
-
It also means it was not a bad thing. Complain when things work.
-
Maybe this is a sign that there is someone interested in Larnach

Where is your faith in our crack hitting coach department.
-
You mentioned 4 signings that met or exceeded expectations.
-
Very few teams win without elite players. You want to insist that teams with just above average players are the reason they win, nothing I point out is going to change that.

To some the earth is flat. They use your same language. Amazing what people will believe

To recap what was said since you would appear to have not followed what I responded to, the comment was about the Twins maximizing profits There has not been a single bit of evidence to support that under the Falvey regime. Since you wish to interject yourself into that conversation perhaps you would like to show how it is so. I put in my comment why it is not.

If you could argue the for reality of your statement I would love to hear it.
-
Do you have a concept about outliers?

How many players above 4 war did they get by trade?
-
The stars aligning is how any mid market teams wins. That is pretty much true for some of the large market teams. The stars aligned twice for Houston to get Verlander for nothing

Alan Roden has better AAA numbers than Mayo. He struggled in Toronto in a brief stay there, struggled here before injury. Mayo struggled in a brief stay in Boston. If they traded for him and he struggled here there might be an explosion. The only reason to trade for either of them is to give up only a high high risk, high reward prospect from the lower levels
-
A team seeking to sell or buy generally does worse in a trade. Patience is a virtue. Not many here seem to have it

The solution would be the dissolution of the school conferences in football in the FBS level divide it into the pp level for pseudo professional, and the HN level for have nots. 136 teas makes for 4 divisions of 17 in each group playoffs are top 4 in each of the pp divisions.

Two years of 40+ HR is enough to confuse people into thinking feared hitter.
-
Twins payroll is less than Dodgers luxury tax
old nurse replied to thelanges5's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Moral of the story is to root for the team that draws in the most revenue, hate on the team that doesn’t. Cheer for the big guys -
League average hitter is a useless stat when one is looking for a starting 1b. It is a nice list showing the dearth of power hitters. Names of players with one or two good years or progressing downhill is not of much use it is the same type of player that they will after plast the Twins for signing or trading for

The negativity toward players, managers and owners in most situations would be called toxic. When player and coach have a mutual respect for one another, the manager shouldn’t have to say much. The player would be wanting to do the right thing. With the narcissist, they can play enough lip service for awhile to skate for a bit.

Chapman at the time was the gold standard for relievers whereas Duran would be a step below. Houston in their rebuild did not get any players of note by trading their stars.
