    Players share of 440K for winning was separate according to Statistica

    A division leading club last year with a decent chance of owing well in the playoff with a very good starting staff did not draw fans to the ballpark Television rights.. diamond lost money on the Twins, xfinity does want to pay diamond the money to make a profit. So if the Twins spend more fans will magically appear and ratings will go through the roof

    Last year’s World Series winner got 30 million the loser 24. These fantastic claims of riches for winning are unsubstantiated.

    I stated what is possible for the Giants point of view. Unless the Giants are going to emulate their departing crosstown rival a blow the team up it is more likely they will be buyers than sellers. The parameter was set in the article that overcoming 4.5 games back is doable. I even gave what the hole in the Giants is that they need to fill.

    You bring in horse racing and America’s Cu which have absolutely nothing in common with baseball to make a point. You use dry cleaning business to compare to baseball.. what else do you have in your basket of fruit?

    No I guess I should have included they would be buyers of middle infielders, not sellers of pitchers
  8. old nurse
    A lot of assumptions being made here.. The blogger has the notion that the Twins can make up 4.5 games by making an addition . The Giants are 4.5 back. Maybe they are out looking for a middle infield help to bolster their chance to make up the 4.5 games. Snell has missed 10 starts so far this season. Without a dominant post season run I would doubt that teams are going to be looking to give him 30 million unless it is for 2 seasons. He has had too many seasons with injuries.

    Saying that you have not bought into bean counting as a sport and critiquing the Twins revenue are incongruous statements. The base level of baseball is no different than any other business in that some years you don’t make as much money but in general the business can’t bleed money.
  10. old nurse
    Well every once in a while it works. See Texas Rangers last year. Of course it helps to have that second hundred million to spend. Didn’t see the low revenue portion but the 4 player, for 100m and half he budget is difficult to prove

    Nine teams listed in the story so that would average out to 8 million a team.

    An addition of a top of the rotation starter would add far more. Signalling that you want to do more than just make the playoffs is far more beneficial. Shoring up the bullpen so closing out the 7/8/9 innings is not as much vale when the starters are giving up 3-5 runs and the team is behind

    If the Twins make a trade for a player there will need to be someone off the 40 man so it would be a favor to the player to include them in a trade. One should remember that most of the minor league players were scouted by other teams They may still have an interest. Any team needs to figure out long before any other team does whether or not there is a major league future or not.
  14. old nurse
    You seem to have missed the point of the article was about the fringe players of the 40 man roster . You have definitely missed that there are multiple teams that are far more frugal than the Twins. Perhaps you need to reconsider ever labeling posting as nonsensical given your own post

    Civale fetched a ranked prospect when he was traded to Tampa Bay.. that 15-20 prospect for Anderson would mean you have a real deep farm system.
  16. old nurse
    With so many of the numbers the same in the tease there is one number missing. Launch angle.

    Duran’s value would be at a high point. Once he gets more expensive his value would go down. Look no further tan the Hader trade. The Brewers got 2 flops and a throw in who debuted vert well then blew out an elbow

    Jorge at 2b was an All Star when healthy up to this year

    The history of Oakland trades seems to be a haul of high risk, high reward prospects from the low minors. All that the trades of Bassit, Olson, Chapman and Gray netted them was the catcher Langliers. Montas netted them Sears, a back of the rotation pitcher. Why would they trade Sears? Their opinion of what they get in return is better than what they will get out of Sears
  20. old nurse
    Flarety will be available as a rental. Detroit will want a better return than St Louis got.. I would imagine that any team looking to trade for him will look to see how well he did in Baltimore. Given that 10 game performance it is risky to give up a top 10 prospect out of your system.

    Of all of the players n the Twins 40 man roster and ranked somewhere prospects Correa would have the least trade value. A no trade clause would be a Broras renegotiated contract where he has leverage. A trade f Correa would likely include one of those ranked somewhere prospects for a return of suspects
  22. old nurse
    Julian and one of the upper tier pitching prospects that the fans would later gnash their teeth over being traded would get it done for a younger starting pitcher on a rebuilding team. I don’t think that player exists, but the start of the article was about trading for starting pitching

    He said that Keashall showed off his 5 tool skillset,, not that he had them

    Launch angles, exit velocity, and the outcome of the pairing of the two has been around long enough and with enough games to have some validity. I don’t know if speed of the base runner is factored in. The notion of regression for Cleveland is a reasonable one. The question is how much to expect. If their run differential decreases by 10% they are still a top team in the AL. The difference in the standings would be unmanageable if the Twins don’t win the remaining series with Cleveland . One does have to hope that Texas and Houston stay in the races for the wild card as well as the NL central as it appears that Cleveland does have a lot of games with those teams

    ESPN’s report on this stated he had an MRI done in late May on his back. It is an indication that that the back has been bothering him for a while,
