    There is a large world between a star and demoted to the minors. Maybe we explore that area until the Twins have someone who outperforms him.

    The Brooks Lee slander needs to end.

    Starting over doesn’t happen until there is a new owner.

    If you really believe this team is more talented with Correa off the roster, we can agree to disagree.

    And if we are being honest, the only way the Twins have a chance to be competitive is by being sold. That is the only benefit of the Correa trade.

    The plausible story is that buyers don’t want the debt associated with the team and this is the easiest method for the Polhads to pay it down. If not sold before next season, I imagine we see Ryan and Lopez moved as well.

    Overpaid is not the same a bad.
  25. chopper0080
    Who was better? Ryan, Buxton, Duran, Jax and ?

    Headline tomorrow. In Duran trade, Twins Choose Savings Over Substance.
  29. chopper0080
    Yeah…very few of you are factoring in the money savings in this deal. Saving 1 mil this year and 4+ mil next year is great for the family.

    Brewers have an identity, the Twins don’t. Milwaukee is an acts all market, Twins just act like Minneapolis is.
  33. chopper0080
    The crux of the issue is the Twins have failed to develop any position players who are consistently able to be productive at the MLB level. Maybe it is a talent thing or maybe it is a manager thing, but the Twins need to start figuring out which it is.

    and I think that is because a lot of people take post-season success into the conversation of organizational mediocrity. For me, not winning a playoff series in nearly 19 years and not winning a playoff game since 2004 but still making the postseason 9 times is the exact definition of mediocre. Essentially not always a terrible team but not close to contending either. The difference in this is that you are counting that as "good" and a lot of folks don't. And frankly, if the top end of the spectrum is a non-competitive playoff team and the bottom end is a terrible team, that averages out to mediocre in my book.

    I understand your frustration with some of the responses but I also understand where those responses are coming from. Just because you define mediocrity a certain way doesn't mean that others will agree with that definition. Just saying.
