  1. As far as most pivotal moment in history for the Twins, bottom of the 9th game 6 comes to mind.
  2. Paddack as an innings eater. That is funny. His peak innings pitched was 143. That was in 2019. In terms of a baseball player’s career, that was a long time ago.. the only correct thing is Paddack as a throw in on a trade. I doubt if Castro is going anywhere unless they are wowed by the trade
  3. Zebby was -0.7 bwar. So he was the reason the team missed the playoffs. He was pitching because Ryan was injured. Ryan was the reason. But Margot had a -0.9 bwar. Blame him. Then there is Martin who had a -1.0 bwar, perhaps blame him. I forgot whose spot he took, blame that person.
  4. The amount of money any of these players have to contribute would e a drop in the bucket of an over $1.5 billion sale. The groups may like a former player involved to help be the face of the ownership group. Maye the fans will still be nice to them after a few years
  5. Then there is no logical reason why any team would take Vasquez unless the prospect was that good. In.the eyes of the receiving team. Trading a prospect that you think can e a major league player makes no sense for building a club. That leaves the prospects someone else likes and you don’t. That makes it difficult to trade. The Polanco trade did not happen until the end of January so a trade is still a possibility.
  6. Did the blowing over your head mess your hair?
  7. 5 items burned to a crisp 1. Can Stewart make it to 20 IP 2. Can Topa make it to 20 IP 3. How can you call the Pohlads cheap when they are giving away money to these 2 4. Is a good, cheap left handed reliever really just a figment of somebody’s vivid imagination? 5. In this day and age of baseball if a pitcher isn’t good enough to be a starter, how does that player become a multi inning reliever with the same pitches?
  8. Ryan Yarborough and Jose Urena were the about the only 2 pitchers used as multi innings pitchers. While other pitchers have thrown multiple innings upon occasion, there isn’t anyone else making a living that way. Nobody has signed either of these two pitchers. Max effort relievers only pitch so many innings. These 2 are PTC. These pages were filled with comments on pitch to contact pitchers. There has been already enough stated to understand why they are still unsigned
  9. For all the love for the FO shown here I would have thought the FO would have flown in Vasquez, Paddack and Dobnak for the event
  10. Building up innings at a major level wastes cost controlled years. Unfortunate for the player.
  11. If the user of subscribers is 40K like San Diego i doubt advertising revenue will be as good as what was on Bally. Their rumor of viewers was near 140K.
  12. Welcome to Twins Daily. You must have missed that pretty much any player has had their name as trade discussions. Will it happen? Probably bot. So why all the articles? People need to know what will never happen
  13. Yup Margo was at a higher WAR value than Dobnak. A trade that is a money dump is dependent on 2 factors 1.Talent, 2 Money changing hands. So if the teams are not trying to give up money, a 10 million dollar salary should cost more in prospect value than a 4 million dollar salary. You bring talent level into the equation .12.32 career war, Margot could e viewed as having some value therefore perhaps it would not take as good of prospect as a totally dead weight player for 10 million. A prospect value would be about even.
  14. Mo the MLB which runs the MiLB website is untrustworthy of any information, never minding that if ithe birthday was a problem, MLB is responsible for it.
  15. The exact number of the budget seems irrelevant. The team has added it pieces during the season. The team rarely adds significant talent during the season as Shannon Stewart might be the last one
  16. The Twins took Margot’s contract by also taking a top 20 team ranking prospect out of their system.
  17. A six man rotation would me that the team has enough relievers to pitch 70-80 innings or enough relievers with options or you can build your relievers up to being able to pitch 120 or more pitches a game. Each portion is not terribly realistic for the Twins. The back in the day pitchers going with that many pitches happened all the time argument can explain how the forces of pitching ion average over 5 mph faster is no different than the slower speeds.
  18. The title of a comprehensive look did not lie as there was a picture of all the signees. They say a picture is worth 1000 words.
  19. They can call Canterino to take Stewart’s spot when he goes on the 60d IL. Who comes up after Canterino breaks down. These guys have great pitches when healthy but that hasn’t been many days
  20. Nick wonders why traffic is down as the 539 article on how cheap the Twins are comes out. This offseason
