  1. Not sure if it will be a good thing for them to be largely absentee, as I believe they reside in the Phx area. Even with private jets, a 162 flights a year is a lot; or if they do the snow bird thing, that won't be for the whole season given the NBA playoff/MLB overlap in early summer.
  2. Why not see Lewis at 2nd? Rotate him in the infield.
  3. With Royce coming back soon, the Twins have a bit of a roster crunch. Margot is the most deserving to be DFA'd, so collecting as much information on him to legitimize the move, makes sense to me. How's MAT fairing this season?
  4. Who do we have on the IL that can go to the 60-DL?
  5. You don't kill your depth this early. Let's see if Martin and Miranda can even hit a lick before dropping the guys in front of them.
  6. Might make a good FA signing on a two-year deal next off season.
  7. The cold spring always makes for a rough start with the offense. That Correra and Kirloff are producing is huge. The young guys like Julien and Walner need to given time to adjust to the league as the league has likely adjusted to them. Not worried, give it 45 to 60 days/games.
  8. There are lots of federal laws regarding the use of wire transfers in part of criminal enterprise. If Mizuhara, illegally made bets, and had debts related to those bets, and Ohtani, knowingly wired his funds to pay for those debts, he certainly can be pulled into a criminal conspiracy, as well as likely being guilty of illegal wire transfers.
  9. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/insider/story/_/id/39653572/mlb-rank-2024-top-100-audit-players-feedback Lot's of quotes from Farmer and Correa. Including this one: "You put me at 78," Correa mused. "That's going to change for next year."
  10. The way I read it is that although he's been delayed, he's currently ramping up his throwing.
  11. I love Polanco, but there's literally no one to back up SS without Farmer. I guess Castro or Lewis, but those days are goneby. If regulars are injured, we can draw from the Lanarchs, Martins, Mirandas, and Lees in AAA, and the calculus changes some but not much.
  12. Castro will sub in the field, allowing them to rest a regular at DH against RHers. This probably Rocco's preferred outcome, rather than a dedicated DH. Though I imagine we will see a lot of Santana/AK combo at 1b/DH against RH early on, but as the season wears on, we'll see players rotate through the DH, and Castro get plenty at bats against RHers which he's just fine at.
  13. Performances like that will lead to a lot of Santana at 1B against RHers with Kiriloff at DH.
  14. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/a-dodgers-favorite-returns-after-manuel-margots-to-minnesota/ FG's evaluation of the recent trade. This is the money quote to me, as I hadn't heard that Doncon could stick at SS.
  15. I think they are done for now, but that could change by the end of Spring or as the deadline nears.
  16. Whither Miranda and Gordon? The 2022 Twins I don't believe won a playoff game or finished .500, but I could be wrong.
  17. This is absurd. The saying 'don't count chickens before they are hatched' exists for a reason. Last year's rookie influx was a historic aberration for the Twins, and you're acting as if it's commonplace.
  18. Well, that's a non-sequitor, and with the benefit of hindsight. The legitimate question would be how many more playoff wins would they have had, and the answer is none, because those guys were obviously part of the squad, and Gallo/Famer/Vazquez didn't prevent it.
