    I didn’t think I needed to add that is a mighty big if. ERA in a relief pitcher with few innings is not the best judge of pitching talent. Tampa continually gets good seasons out of retreads and failures. The difference between a serviceable pitcher and not is not hat big

    At a glance you could notice a decent strikeout rate coupled with a high HR rate. If the fix for the HR is better sequencing they might have something.

    Hindsight was not needed to say that if they could have made a Sonny Grey type trade in 2021 they should have done so. If he had top of the order potential at that time he would have been highly ranked at the time, not in the low 90s
  4. old nurse
    It depends on which prospect ranking service you look at. Balazovic had already fallen out of the MLB top 100 rankings. That is not a sign of future success. The time to have traded him was after the 21 season. He pitched reasonably well in AA, in 2022 but not a lot of innings. I doubt Cincinnati would have wanted him

    Their reclamation projects either break or have a short shelf life.

    They may well be worth 4 billion. Most likely all in assets not cash in hand. Still doesn’t show where the losing of money on the Twins would be effective
  7. old nurse
    Never said the Twins were a losing money business. Did say that they have had seasons where they lost money.. Still the notion of spending more than your means has not been shown to be effective except in your own mind

    Yup, Bellinger could have pitched the Twins out of the hole that was dug when Gray did not win his game

    They tell you the source of how they got the revenue, not how they figure expenses. When the new regime took over they stated how lean the operation was from an employment standpoint and began hiring. The profit listed stayed the same. Of course I am not as smart as you on this stuff so please feel free to explain. How more help equals the same profit in relation to revenue.

    So, how many scouts do the Twins have? How much does it cost them for the Fort Meyers complex. How much does each member in the front office make. The reality is nobody knows. They really don’t know. They can figure out revenue by as sales tax collection is public. I don’t think income tax records are. So, how do they know? Liberty Media may be a public company but that dosen’t tramslate to every other club is run the same way

    The media monies are well known Forbes looks at sales tax revenues because that is a public number. The in stadium revenue for 2023 would be the same as 2022 plus whatever increase for attendance. The model presented Ed is flawed because there is an assumption that everywhere is the same price for things.

    So nice that you know the Diamondback’s management so well. Short term investments you cry for were made in 22 and likely 23. Where did it get the team? Where did it get the Padres and Mets?
  14. old nurse
    Interesting how not losing money is claiming poverty.
  15. old nurse
    Cohen spent on the Mets and dialed it back to 255m with 20% of it being dead money this year. After this year they have 8 free agents. Last year the Padres received permission to borrow against the team. Their payroll is also down this year.. I should add, No, I don’t think anyone can show that an owner will pay out of pocket for a team. There are owners who also own part of the RSNs as a way to shield profits.

    What Arizona has that the Twins do not is a WS appearance. They might not get back to a 3 million attendance, but a bump up to 2.5 million will cover quite a bit of the expense. Grichuck and Pedeson should bring the same level of excitement to Arizona that retaining Farmer and signing Santana does to Minnesota.

    DeScalfini has had 3 different years of sub 4 ERA. He could be that or he could be a Shoemaker like piece of toast. Festa will need stats at the mlb level to continue his development just like Varland will need.
  18. old nurse
    People forget, not Major League Ready, that the Twins got an influx of cash last year from BAM. One time money and they spent it. People have forgotten that Nick wrote a story on them losing money in 2022. In 2019 they drew over 2.3 million fans. They spent money to get them back. A division winning team dew under 2 million. The fans have spoken .
  19. old nurse
    Pretty much lost in your salad was the article was about the current payroll Not a person has shown how the front office has been disingenuous about the numbers. Facts are few and far between. Fact in a Nick Nelson article, they lost money in 2022. Payroll went up in 2023 but they also had extra revenue from BAM money. Attendance went up only slightly for 2023 Those are the facts at people’s disposal.
  20. old nurse
    Correa, Donaldson and Vasquez are the only free agents they signed hat were not stopgap signings. They also signed Castro as a free agent. Did you think the other players were signed as stars?
  21. old nurse
    Blindly critiquing the FO is OK without knowledge of the facts is OK. No Koolaid accusations there.
  22. old nurse
    Again, disrespect. Which people are blind as no one really knows wha the profits/losses ae
  23. old nurse
    Your words were “once the KoolAid wears off”. What is to wea off it is not mind altering?
  24. old nurse
    Nick Nelson wrote a piece on the Twins losing money in 2022. Payroll went up. Perhaps the true lie is the fans with the Twins being cheap. They spent to build a winner but the lie of if you build they will come did not hold true
  25. old nurse
    When someone uses the term KoolAid, I think of one word. Disrespect for others. The Twins are entertainment. People can have opinions different than yours without being accused of mind altering subfatances
