    As a Twins fan who's been clamoring for years for the Pohlads to make a token change that seems vaguely better than nothing, I'm ecstatic.

    Buck passed up a lot of money in order to stay here on an extremely team-friendly deal, can't imagine anything more insulting to that loyalty than punishing him by not trying to win.

    The WBC sounds like a great palate cleanser after a lousy Twins season. Last time I really enjoyed watching teams from places like the Czech Republic and Taiwan (excuse me, "Chinese Taipei") that I would never think to associate with baseball. It was cool to see passion for the game all over the world.

    Miranda was my first prospect love, it's been painful to see him fall off. Still gonna be rooting for him and hoping he puts it back together.
  25. Unwinder
    It's a good thing Miranda never caved to pressure to use that "I am not throwing away my shot" song from Hamilton as his walk-up music, or he'd look a bit silly now.

    Managers are the scapegoats when the team is bad, and they tend to leave in some degree of disgrace when the team struggles. Not sure I want to tack that onto Cruz or Hunter's legacy.
  27. Unwinder
    The Pohlads must be delighted to have such a convenient opportunity to appear to be taking action without spending money.

    We need guys like this to make this team at least a little bit fun right now. I'd say the closest thing we've got to a big personality is Joe Ryan, and he's too legitimately good to really fit the "folk hero" archetype.
  29. Unwinder
    Yeah, I'm a sicko for sure. I hate to admit it. Would love to be one of the guys who boycotts ownership, but my first thought when I found out that Jax and Varland had been traded was "tickets are gonna be cheap!"
  30. Unwinder
    Arraez?

    It'd be cool to get a "who are all of these guys in the bullpen now?" article

    I'd give it a C+. I think that selling was a very reasonable choice, and it was wise to go all-in. I was ready for a rebuild. I was excited to accumulate a lot of good prospects and watch the team grow from the ground up into another competitive window down the line. I was on board! But then came salary-dump moves like Correa, head-scratchers like Stewart for Outman, and filthy betrayals like Varland. And intellectually, I know that we got reasonable value back on most of the trades, but I envisioned a huge sell-off giving us a loaded farm system, and what I see instead is a few intriguing pieces. My expectations were probably unreasonable. I saw someone point out that we came out a little bit ahead in terms of trade value by most measures. I've seen national sources give us positive grades. But do I see anyone saying "the Twins are going to be scary in three years?" "Five years?" Of course not! Maybe the sell-off continues in the offseason. Maybe the starting rotation goes next, and brings us a bigger haul. But it's hard to feel confident about that because of the weird "be mediocre NOW" moves like getting Outman and Bradley. It was a very frustrating trade deadline!

    Pitcher named Homer a few years back has gotta be up there with these.
  34. Unwinder
    I would have preferred to keep him, but I've got to imagine part of it is that they've already had incredible luck with him throwing 1,000,000 mph fastballs for the past few years without blowing out his elbow, and how long can they really expect that to keep up?

    The combined defensive IQ will more than make up for any lack of fielding experience.
