    This is a great contract for the Twins compared to what others signed for. Bogaerts is a half step below, two years older, and signed for 80 million more than that. Color this fan impressed. If they can figure out a way to get Lewis and Lee into the same infield, the Twins might really have something special here.
  2. I wish the twins were good
    It's a good point, but he's not even walking the earth anymore, let alone looking for a job. We can do better now, in 2023.
  3. I wish the twins were good
    Kepler is as good as gone, so the twins would be on the receiving end of that shellacking
  4. I wish the twins were good
    Was waiting for someone to write this article. Thank you! Gross. If there's any decency left in the world it should come in the form of this ******* not being able to get a job paying him millions of dollars. Frankly, this sounds like something the White Sox would do...
  5. I wish the twins were good
    Coincidentally, they just opened a Dior store at the outlet mall!
  6. I wish the twins were good
    Walter Johnson and Cobb, reanimated from the dead and in 1915 form, this team gets to 82 wins.....maybe.
  7. I wish the twins were good
    Yes - no point in trading Maeda now I don't think, as he won't get them much. If they keep him and he has a strong first half, flip him at the deadline. Polonco might bring back something decent, couple B prospects or something in light of the cheap contract with three years on it. He's another one though they might be better off gambling that he has a good first half. Worst case they keep him another year.

    I don't really care what they do at this point. Practically speaking they are in that squishy middle ground that's close enough that they really SHOULD be trying to improve some, since another 10ish wins might be enough in this division, but they have demonstrated no desire to do that so far, and I don't even trust them to make the right moves anyway. Trading what diminished prospect capital they have at this point seems counterproductive. If they are going to sell, at least sell reasonably high. So if Gray gets them something substantial back I'd be fine with it, Mahle and Maeda should be kept for now in hopes they can recoup some value. Plus value players with three or more years of team control should all be kept, with the exception of Arraez, maybe - he's coming off a batting title and isn't making much yet. I think they could find someone that might overpay for him. It's a young team, there might be some diamonds in this group.

    For all the money they spent this offseason, they aren't DRASTICALLY improved from last year I wouldn't say. And they WERE very good last year, but not good enough to get out of the first round of the playoffs. Re-signed a few of their own guys, Verlander replacing Degrom essentially. At his age that could go t*ts up at any time. They added a couple relievers, Added an unknown quantity in Senga but lost Bassitt and Walker. Added an average-ish catcher in Narvaez. Correa is the big addition, but if he has health or performance issues, I could see the rest of it being a wash, or even a little worse. For a team that just took on about 800MM in new obligations, I'd want to be a whole lot more certain that the needle got moved substantially.
  10. I wish the twins were good
    I doubt it, unless the Twins agreed to it. He already exercised his opt out.
  11. I wish the twins were good
    Who knows what it is, but if it's serious enough to put his future ability to play in doubt, you can bet your a$$ they backing out (wonder how the Twins' fanbase would react if they ended back up with the Giant's sloppy seconds/damaged goods)
  12. I wish the twins were good
    They aren't going to get anything off value back for Kepler unless they pick up the tab
  13. I wish the twins were good
    I should qualify this to say, if they don't take advantage of the money saved by going this route on improvements elsewhere on the roster, I'm tuning this team out for a season or three.
  14. I wish the twins were good
    Just stick Farmer there and pray for rain until Lewis is back (with, ideally, a leg that is still attached at the knee), and hope he can run with it (which, again, would require a fully assembled leg.) That's a lot of hopes and prayers in one sentence, but if the Twins know anything about anything - questionable, I know - it's how to enter a season with substantial unresolved question marks (and body parts!)
  15. I wish the twins were good
    Zsa Zsa Gabor references? As if I needed a reminder the median age on this blog was 70?
  16. I wish the twins were good
    Front loading also makes him easier to trade later, if circumstances warrant doing so.
  17. I wish the twins were good
    Twins territory: we give you the Dylan Bundy of rebrands
  18. I wish the twins were good
    "We wanted the big rebrand, but they wouldn't take our money. East Coast guy. We were runner up for the big one. This rebrand is our kinda rebrand. Gonna work his tail off and rebrandsie gonna take the ball every fifth day and you will probably not notice much..."
  19. I wish the twins were good
    He's been much worse than Colome, who had a bad April last year and was largely decent after that. They were right to wash their hands of that mess and it would be vomit inducing not to lose Pagan's agent's number too. I don't think it's all that much of a stretch to say he single handedly tanked their season insofar as you can point to any one player on the roster.
  20. I wish the twins were good
    Get them clicks!
  21. I wish the twins were good
    The injuries have become the biggest problem/question mark in my mind at this point, now multiple years into this without a solution, and I have no idea how you fix that other than hoping for better luck or auditing your medical staff/procedures (which, if they haven't already been looking at closely, it's a dereliction of duty by the front office). It's just impossible to adequately plan a roster while losing starters and others you were counting on in significant roles for extended periods at the clip they've been losing them. They will have a lot of money again this offseason, they at least better spend it. And they need to give up the 'sign whatever falls into our lap at a discount by the end of the offseason' strategy they've been employing, because that isn't working. Target the guys you actually want, and be aggressive. I'm sick of hearing the excuse that they don't want to come here. That's been the case with a couple over the years perhaps (Wheeler is one that comes to mind), but overpay if you have to and most will be happy to sign with the Twins. That's a bogus Terry Ryan line he used to feed the media to cover his a$$ but clearly Falvine aren't above taking a couple pages out of the old playbook.
  22. I wish the twins were good
    If Mahle needs TJ, he's missing all of next year and that means the Twins lost three high end prospects for basically two starts and change. I expect they'd be able to sign a guy like that cheaply in free agency, but they also could have done the same thing by letting the Reds worry about it and not losing anybody.
  23. I wish the twins were good
    This team is terrible. Absolutely no point pushing Buck. This team is more lethargic than some of those god-awful mid 2010s teams that had a fraction of the talent. I hope they clean house this off-season (on the field and off).
  24. I wish the twins were good
    Who's that pitching in the bullpen in that top picture? Twins haven't had a guy yet with dreds that I can recall. It's about time!
  25. I wish the twins were good
    Of the games he's lost or blown (6 I think, and counting), even a league average reliever gets out of what, charitably....four of them? Twins should be up two on Cleveland right now instead of the other way around.
