    I can’t wait to see who gets the Twins Trade Candidate Breaking Down Rony Henriquez duty.
  2. old nurse
    The most common names to come up for trade are Grochet, Montgomery Sonny Gray and Luzardo. The only place that I found mention of trading Lopez is here.

    The Taillon and Snell trades are the perfect examples of what happens in these trades for prospects or near as ready as they are ever going to get players.

    I think these trade everybody clickbait’s would be more interesting if they found fans of other teams wanting any of these players. It would probably be a very quick series

    The fruit was so low that a midget picked it.

    A trade of Duran to improve the club and lower finances would also involve decent prospects. Those prospects are what the club needs to keep a low payroll. Identifying their fringe prospects who won’t bloom has not been this front office’s strong suit.

    Castro is a one year rental in a contract year. The return is not going to look like much 2-3 prospects that the other team doesn’t think will ever be a starter, or a starting pitcher. The return depends on how much better the Twins’ scouting department is than the trade partner.

    Hunter for his career had only 2 seasons where he played in less than 100 games. Buxton has played in over 100 games twice. Buxton moving to a corner would not change the trend of Buxton’s playing time

    Using the Bummer Trae as an example of what Jax is worth is the best reason not to trade him now. Atlanta cleaned the chaff out of the farm system and threw in a pitcher that hasn’t been the same since his 2 seasons lost to injury

    The biggest stage is New York. The problem with going to. The Dodgers is the Dodgers is the huge shadow of Ohtani.

    Zoll is 34, mattingly 37
  12. old nurse
    Somewhere along the line he forgot about teaching defensive fundamentals and baserunning
  13. old nurse
    First question is when is he going to get posted? Second, How much money does each team still have?

    They need a marketing guru? Do they first fire everyone in the 12 listed members of the brand marking department, the 15 listed members of the brand partnership department, the 41 listed members of the ticket sales and marketing department? What haven’t they done to maximize the market?

    In 2018 Buxton was injured early as was Ervin Santana. Those two losses coupled with the replacement level replacements doomed Molitor. Why didn’t they add better players at the deadline? They wanted their type for manager. Most of the players have gone through the up and down. I doubt there should be much carryover. Christian Vasquez is still looking for his lost bat.

    3 major injuries and Tampa not putting him on the 40 man. Would be 2 good reasons not to sign him
  17. old nurse
    Shoulder injury, next year Tommy John, next year UCL sprain
  18. old nurse
    So when the cable market lost 20% of their subscribers in the 5 years before Correa was signed, the Twins should not have been the least bit concerned about a revenue stream with the contract soon to be done? After all with less viewers they are going to get more money from the local broadcasts to pay players.

    The longer the thread, the more inane comments come out
  20. old nurse
    They have a CFO who should be looking at the future. He has a GM who should know the pluses and minuses. They were as good as Rasputin in seeing the future. Gawd, this has to be the stupidest comment I have seen in a long time.
  21. old nurse
    Twins trade candidate breakdown, Chris Paddack. Shouldn’t that be breaks down? Levine traded for or signed a lot of players that broke down. He is gone. The only way Paddack is gone is by either the Twins can identify another team that doesn’t consider injury history or it is the trade deadline and Paddack has pitched reasonably well.
  22. old nurse
    Now the suggestion was a SP for the outfielder and a prospect. If you really like Quero as a catcher the proposed deal is close to making sense for the Twins if the pitcher traded is Ryan Ober should cost at least 2 prospects if not three.
  23. old nurse
    Jim Pohlad fired Bill Smith over wanting to spend the way out of the train wreck of the Twins at the time. I would guess that all of the possible positive outcomes of the 2022 season were used to sell the signing. Joe Pohlad did not ask what could possibly go wrong.
  24. old nurse
    There is a chief financial officer and probably people under him that did not understand that cable TV could be on life support with dwindling numbers. They probably thought a contending team would make for a larger television contract. The other half of future revenue, i.e. fans, would also come back in droves with a winning team. They never considered what could go wrong. It should also be obvious who the architect of the current roster situation was. The guy who currently does not have a job.
  25. old nurse
    If healthy is a mighty big if.as their last few years would suggest the odds are against the being healthy part. The unexpected injuries are one thing, but a track record of it should not be part of the plan of a contendending team. It did seem like the cycled through 20 guys last year. So far the only one they kept is Tonkin
