I don’t think he has. I heard more than one of Correa’s interviews/rants. He was never apologetic in the one’s I heard. Several interviews. Not once. Never admitted it was even done. Plouffe can’t rewrite history. If you are on the take, you are on the take. 22 or 26 or 18. You know what choice you are making. The blame is shared equally. All players got immunity and the testimonies were hidden. The Manager (Hinch) GM (Luhnow) and ownership became the scapegoats. Cora indirectly when Boston fired him as Manager. Blame? The fans, other than Houston and Minnesota, don’t pretend it was otherwise. -
....for all of 86 games. Granted, not his fault, necessarily, that he couldn't play. This was bookended by 2023s .230 average and .711 OPS (and I thought you were an old school Triple Crown stats guy, and here embracing the newfangled OPS as the kicker) in 135 games and 2025s .698 OPS. And one of those 3 of the last 5 was with Houston. As players age, it seems it is most accepted to look more at more recent play than many years past as an indicator of future performance, along with the difficulties of staying on the field. But every year is a new year. Lots of career years happen in the 30s. Correa surely had his value. But $30+ million a year? The players seemed to embrace him as a leader, ignoring what many fans can't get past, but then, the players on the same team pretty much had no choice. Falvey had a love affair with him that was a bit over the top. It was his pet deal. Not just once either. And then, he closed the deal by getting a nothing back, really, and gave him another $33 million of Twins money to play for Houston the best he can. I knew a radio announcer once who's name was Ben Dover.

You forgot the $33 million the Twins also paid.
-
I’m sure gonna miss those GIDPs and 0’fers with the bases loaded. And the incessant boos for the cheating at all the other stadiums.

Above Link doesn’t work. Try this one: Don’t try it. Site doesn’t let it paste at all.

Each trade is its own trade. Fun to link them, but they each stand on their own. Quick note on pronunciation: Eduardo Tait = “tie-eet", not “tayt" as many Twins folks are saying.
-
Kruk was saying the Twins helped their production crew get it set up. 5 pitches - 3 outs. Made me sick. Not as sick as listening to that scum Falvey during the game, though.

Article forgot to mention the lost run when Jeffers feel asleep on that wild pitch. Wake up Jeffers. You are going to to have to take every break you can. why is Funderburk even in this organization anymore?

Money? Twins gonna pay him another $33 million to get rid of him. Tell me again how good the cheat was….. fans can go back to not being honest about who he is.

Do you want Ryan Pressly now? Cubs Designate Ryan Pressly For Assignment
-
That’s pretty negative. 😇 I hope that rant brought you some joy.
-
Really? All it took was 2 prospects. Not even 3. Or 4. Pretty easy if you are dealing with Derek Falvey, apparently. And that is 2 1/3 years of control And one prospect isn’t even close to helping the team we all care about.

Falvey is a wimp. He gives up the farm for a mediocre Mahle, who was even injured (recovering) when acquired, but blinks with a day to go with the reliever every contender wants. 2 players. Hope and dreams for the MLB stud. Not a rental, but 2 1/3 years of control on top of it. What a joke. What a waste. Keeping his can’t hit can’t field can’t run bases core. I guess it’s the players fault. From last August 17 to now, they really have sucked, minus one 13 game streak. They are tanking again now. But no Duran doesn’t make the team better. Neither do the prospects now, and if the success odds pan out…. they never will.

“….. Prielipp broke through the four-inning threshold for the second time this season…..” And that is a plus? All of 2 times? The pipeline is a mirage.
-
Sure! L. Ortiz
-
This would be the 5th loss for Duran. Only 2 blown saves.
-
Perhaps because he hadn’t pitched but 6 pitches in the previous 4 days, and Duran wanted to get some work done to stay ……. sharp? If he can’t go 2 days in a row, what good is a closer? No reason to walk the 9 batter on 5 pitches, regardless.
-
Meat.
-
Duran is going to tank this game.
-
These guys are just not focusing.
-
Duran , that was the 9 hole.
-
July training.
