    Folks are being very optimistic about how long Correa will be able to or be the best option at short. 2022 already started the decline, perhaps, if 2021 was considered his peak.........

    “a ragtag combo of Nick Gordon and Josh Winder” Nick Gordon says thanks for the love.

    Even more kudo's for catching it! For all the mice and men!

    Twins and other teams can be soooooo cheap about an extra million, or half million, or couple hundred thousand to the controllable players, even when they deserve a lot more.... just because they can. I mean, look what they will pay Pagan!!! Just pay Arraez his little bit more that he wants, already. It's not like they have to pony up 30 million or so......
  5. h2oface
    Just curious.... did you expect him to have worse than the worst season of his career?
  6. h2oface
    If the players stay on the field and play, then we improve just because of that. It wouldn't be hard to improve the performance of Mahle and Paddack (and Maeda) from nothing to something. Can Pagan get worse? Three years running as one of the worst relievers in MLB says yes. "Tell me about the rabbits stuff again, George......" And don't forget the long term core contract - Randy Dobnak will finally be ready again, right?. I don't see a big improvement. The FO is going on hope and potential, and hoping for health. If Buxton stays on the field, Kepler isn't traded and benefits from the no shift rules, Correa actually plays well all year..... it could be great. Gallo for Kepler? I don't see it. Gallo has replaced Sano at the plate. Not too exciting

    Since when are offers with contingencies not real offers? Most people buy houses with real offers that have at least one contingency - the financing contingency. And the majority also have a home inspection, and then find items that get negotiated before closing. If they don't get financing, or find something that can't get worked out in the home inspection, and the agreed upon contingencies can't be met, it was still a REAL offer. So were the Giants and Mets offers. Legal and binding, if all contingencies had been met.

    10 years overdue. The challenge option is just cowardly. Use the best option, and it is not humans guessing, and catchers moving their glove.

    Great spin, @Cody Pirkl.

    Past MO is that all pitchers, especially our best pitchers, have to be traded with 1 1/2 years to 1/2 year left on their contract. This means all of our pitchers pretty much. Yet, they trade the ones we have homegrown, and trade for pitchers in the same boat. Correct me if I am wrong.......

    All good info. Thank you. Certainly an assumption to attach defending patriarchy to stating facts about acquittal and its proper use. Your prerogative. You certainly don’t know me. But it appears we are in agreement that the Twins will be passing on Bauer.
  12. h2oface
    Third choice? Of course he wanted to be here all along.
  13. h2oface
    Bauer becomes a thread were name calling and suppositions are allowed outside of commenting policy, it seems, and brings out hate. Opinions laced with disparaging name calling, especially when directed at the subject. Hard to separate the two. No way can the Twins go down that road, even with Correa, complete with his scandal history and baggage, as a long term clubhouse leader. I don’t see that any team can.
  14. h2oface
    But, after being a 3rd baseman for around 2 weeks, does he identify as a Shortstop again now?
  15. h2oface
    Awesome clarification!
  16. h2oface
    That was funny! It was funny when Torii Hunter threw the ball back at the pitcher that had just hit him with it, too!
  17. h2oface
    Well, not acquitted. To be acquitted, one has to be charged and brought to trial. Bauer was never charged, at all, by any state or federal prosecutors, as all investigations resulted in insufficient evidence to even charge him with a crime of any kind. The only hearing was for a restraining order by a female plaintiff, which was denied by a female judge as unnecessary after extensive evidence was presented.
  18. h2oface
    It takes an unpunished, immunity granted, self admitted, well known - hated by most fans around baseball except Astros and Twins fans - cheater, to control a player with a reputation of being a clubhouse “misbehaver”? Interesting juxtaposition.
  19. h2oface
    I wonder if Correa has a copy all the doctors' reports and tests that have been done. Seems they should all be competent reports. Does he own them? Certainly he gets a copy, regardless. Do the Twins need to do more tests? or just to interpret what has just been done, perhaps some of the tests twice already.?.? And we already have plans to play Miranda at third. I hope Correa wouldn't be too disappointed about playing short instead of 3rd, as he has been identifying as a 3rd baseman for at least two weeks, and the emotional roller coaster could be devastating.
  20. h2oface
    Not even that much I believe. I think it is 50 games unpaid.... so that would even be prorated, and the cost is only about $500K
  21. h2oface
    Most can't handle people that live on the fringe, consenting as it may be for all involved. Bauer picked the wrong kink for a MLB Baseball player, or most "public" figures, for that matter, regardless if it was consensual or not. Especially for the kind of money he makes that makes him a target for "revenue sharing". People have already decided their take, regardless of not really knowing what all was involved, and who requested or initiated what. But that is death for his baseball career. I doubt he will "fit in" anywhere on the baseball field, now. I could be wrong, though, but I definitely don't see it happening in the Twin Cities. It would be a public relations nightmare. The Twin Cities embrace Prince, though. Maybe if they all watched the 1996 movie, "Crash" together.........

    "top remaining free agents" is an oxymoron. You can try to put the words together at this point, but the "top free agents' ship has sailed, even if you put "remaining" with the rest of the words. We are in the "diving" area now. Well...... there is Trevor Bauer, I guess. That is the only "top free agent" available now. Or at least, I assume he is a top..... free agent.
  23. h2oface
    Actually, the 92 million guaranteed included the buyout. That is why the contract was reported that way, and that is the key word in my frivolous aside point of interest that really doesn’t matter anyway. There were also a bunch of comparatively small incentives but that matters even less.
  24. h2oface
    Just as a point of intereset, not even close to 120 million. Donaldson signed a 4 year $92 million gauranteed at 34.
  25. h2oface
    It looks like he can be had by shopping at the Thrift Store now. But well used. Only good for a couple more years......
