  1. They can be interested all they want but they can't have Rodgers. That would seriously hamper the bullpen, with only making the starting pitching marginally better. That said, it is three years of control verse one.
  2. Yes, but I threw that in that for sarcasm... Would you rather have Cueto at a higher AAV? This feels pretty low risk at 3.5, given the affordable two-year deal if he bounces back.
  3. What is it? The injuries? Are you suggesting you wouldn't trade Meadows for him?
  4. As long as you're not benching the lineup, yes. Prior to this move, prediction sites have us as a competitive team.
  5. There will be plenty of arms available at the deadline (think A's,O's,Red's,Marlins); this buys time to get there, to get our upper minor arms ready, and for those arms to rebuild value in anticipation of trade. But this will be it for the offseason.
  6. Thanks for this, but there were many interesting things from watching the whole thing. We've seen the quotes were C4 insinuates that he wants to invest in the Twins longterm, but I encourage everyone to watch just after the 21:00 minute, in response to a pointed question on the subject, Falvey responds, and his take is basically we've got this guy, we'll deal with keeping him down the road; and Carlos' response, just after, is pretty akin. Also, it's clear Rocco is a huge recruiting asset. And I didn't realize how articulate and measured Scott Boras is; an impressive dude.
  7. A bunch of guys are going to rotate through 1b/Dh/LF/C/3B. Potential for Sano/Kirilloff/Rooker, Sano/Sanchez/Arreaz, Kirilloff/Lanarch/Rooker/Miranda?, Sanchez/Jeffers/??, Urshela/Arreaz/Miranda to get many hundreds of at bats. Maybe not stars at the options, but quality depth, a lots of layers of protection from injury.
  8. Mlbtraderumors always puts out quality work and they even continually update their articles; it's a testament to what could have been a click-hole site given the subject matter.
  9. I wish people would stop making this an issue. 1) If he opts out, it means he had a fantastic season. 2) Lewis and Martin need more reps at SS to see if they can stick; but their bats are probably close to ready now. This buys them both at least one season to prove they can play the position. 3) We aren't prohibited from resigning him.
  10. Cherry picking years to benefit your argument is poor form in all cases. Garver shouldn't be reduced to 2020, but it makes far less sense to reduce Gray to his 2016 or 2018.
  11. Lol. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/pedro-florimon/8385/stats?position=SS https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/floripe01.shtml
  12. Baseball reference had IFK's WAR at 3.7; Fangraphs had it 2.3. At least you're doubling down on the disingenuousness with the Florimon reference. Sonny Gray has been a top 30 pitcher over the past three years.
  13. GG caliber short stop and Top 30 starting pitcher aren't bald spare tires. Come on, that's disingenuous.
  14. Cueto AND Pineda, and we've got a semblance of a staff.
  15. What? Bundy? They bought low on Bundy, I'm sure they view him less as a placeholder, and more of a cheap gamble. But the logic of signing free agents to promote minor league development is creative, if baffling.
  16. How is not spending money playing for the future? I just don't see the logic here.
  17. Not to be rude; but how old are you? Clearly hitting them where they ain't isn't always a repeatable skill, right? That's luck. That's why we discount batting average, and prefer other statistics which measure repeatable skill, and a fuller representation of offensive output.
  18. Literally no one. No one made those arguments. And if they did, plenty of people who supported Kaepernick would correct them. Did Kaepernick ever get his job back? Does Simmons still have one? Hmm.
  19. You don't think Simmons is implying that the vaccine isn't effective? Because I can't read it any other way. What the heck is the antivax movement but mob thinking? (Reliance on other people agreeing with me, rather than expert opinion, science or peer reviewed research). Seriously. Kettle meet pot.
