    I've been wondering what Buxton's opinion is of this hire? I'm also wondering/hoping Byron is the source with the inside scoop on which teammates are the negative influencers? Whatever team we're left with next spring, it will be built around Buxton.

    Larnach if we keep him might be the plan? This looks to be the off-season we don't repeat the same mistakes, and make a different mistake by signing no one. We've gone BIG, we've picked from the bin, I think this is the year we go with the kids. Maybe we pick up a Taylor Rogers and/or a Caleb Theilbar if anything?

    Yes sir! And it's where I sit down to watch our beloved Twins 👍

    Thanks! I enjoyed this comment. I am an optimist. It helps my days go better.

    Safe not Sexy. Shelton is an excellent coach and will handle the real time in-game decisions much better than Rocco in my opinion. We also needed a "company" man to suffer through some rebuilding. Again, safe, not sexy. It's a start. We'll see what player moves we make.

    I'm here for the comments. Skimmed the article to get to your reaction. Mostly looking for who our new manager is, and will always default to the latest article to skim to get to the comments 👍

    Amen. I could get excited about James Rowson leading this young clubhouse.

    I remember coming away from the Brewers series home and away thinking they were the most exciting team I watched us play all year. I remember wishing we could be a team like this. Reminded me of the early 2000 teams. Fun to watch, and 2006 was our year. We could have gone all the way. Don't recall our place in the payroll standings that year, but it can be done. Strong team identity is a must as Doc points out. Under Falvey's leadership we haven't had a consistent identity. Bomba squad to this. Who are we? Teams like Cleveland, Milwaukee Tampa Bay are pretty good to very good most years. I do want to be like that, pretty good to very good most years. Why not us?

    Falvey might only have another year left. He'd be wise to hire an excellent clubhouse and field manager, give him some talent, and stay in the press box and watch. I like Suzuki.

    As of today we're projected to have the #2 farm system in all of baseball. This seems to be our greatest asset. How will we utilize this greatest asset will be the question? Will ownership allow us to keep what we currently have in Lopez Ryan Ober & Jeffers ($44.5M) - will Falvey play the hot prospects coming, or do we have room now to trade prospects to fill holes and try and compete? Who manages this team, and who can get the most out of the prospects? Lots of questions?

    This sets up the hiring of either Gardenhire or Dinkelman, whichever Falvey likes better is my guess. Either one would jump at the chance, and either one will be at minimum manager wages. It worked in late '86. No one knew the prospects better, and no one knew better how to get the best out of them than Tom Kelly, and he did.

    Going on 34 years of short term pain since 1991 Seems like long term pain, but I am much older than young grandson Pohlad. Was he alive in 1991?

    100% agree! I observe and surmise Mr Falvey is a narcissist control freak perhaps? Leaders need to surround themselves with great people, and then delegate authority. Narcissists surround themselves with yes men. They want no threats to their authority. I always thought it strange how Wes Johnson left. I thought it was a bad sign when Thad Levine left, and I always felt like Rocco was Falvey's puppet.
  14. In My La Z boy
    We have a similar scenario here as we did in 1986. It wouldn't surprise me if they give the job to Toby, or Dinkleman. I like both.
  15. In My La Z boy
    Great rundown of the problems, but don't overlook this. Rocco was the largest problem once the game began. I agree 100% with your vast list of culprits, and that **** rolls downhill, and Rocco is at the bottom of the hill, but his in game intuitive management skills were lacking to be kind. He had a way of usually NOT pushing the right buttons. Step 1. Now we'll see what happens next.

    This is how I feel most Fall's after the season. I look forward to Spring when I am always optimistic. Seems with the Braves very disappointing season, and their large payroll abilities, and their constant desire to win, they will no doubt come calling for Byron, and I'll be sad for us, and happy for Byron. He'd love to play for the home town winning Braves I am certain. We'll definitely trade Pablo, and we'll keep Joe Ryan and call it a winning off-season 🙃
  17. In My La Z boy
    I guess I am wrong and you are right. It was perfectly reasonable to jump on board with Correa and to give him 25% of the entire teams payroll. Of course we could afford a $37M player what am I thinking? And just think, now we still get to pay him 10% of our entire teams payroll. Good times.
  18. In My La Z boy
    Lopez Ryan Ober Larnach Jeffers Trade those 5 and we establish a new low payroll beating out the Sacramento A's. Now do the Braves come calling for Byron this winter? That's the only place he'd happily go. Pohlad still wants to sell, and the 2027 potential lock-out looms. Does Falvey go along with this? No one else must want him? I'd quit if I were him.
  19. In My La Z boy
    The SF Giants & the NY Mets saw it coming and both backed out of "done deals", and then Falvey signed him. I think you are being generous. Hindsight does no one any good and I do look forward to looking forward.
  20. In My La Z boy
    We either have a large disconnect between Falvy & Pohlad, or Falvey is his bad cop? Pohlad has now embarrassed Falvey in my opinion. I just cannot believe Falvey signs Correa unless he has the future payroll runway cleared. If Pohlad pulled the rug, after greenlighting the rug, Falvey should quit. Pohlad was well aware it was a 6 year deal. You just don't make that signing, and turn around 2 years later and flush it down the toilet? Especially after doing the same thing w/Donaldson! I look for Falvey to continue the theme and get rid of every player making over $800K not named Byron Buxton this winter sadly.

    New Leadership can do wonders for a young talented group. We let the kids play in the early 80's, but didn't field a winner until TK came in late '86. We need a couple of rookie of the year candidates, and we need Buxton & Royce to be superstars. It's not out of the realm of possibilities. I'm always optimistic in the spring! Fall, not so much.
  22. In My La Z boy
    We blew it up and are "rebuilding" The last few yrs we've signed some vets to plug holes because we were pretending we could compete. We are no longer pretending. I assume to complete the theme we'll see Lopez, Ryan and Ober traded this winter slamming payroll down to Oakland pre-2025 levels. Maybe even Jeffers because he is worth a lot back in prospects, and he must be pushing an arbitration number of at least $7M?? The team we saw last night is the team, minus Jenkins & a couple other prospects I take it at this point.

    Not sure why this comment was attributed to me. 1985Fan made the statement that you commented on. I think the Twins are culpable for misreading their talent (as we did) and not trading them at their peak. Miranda sure had a peak, so did Julien, and both 2nd rounders. Wallner was also highly coveted last winter, if he's a bust they blew that chance as well. Martin is a former top 10 pick and I like him and I think he'll keep improving w/play. Lee also a top 10 pick. We've got to do better.

    I do wish I could brighten your day RpR as you've brightened mine 👍 I do love an old crotchety Twins fan! I enjoy the game, and I enjoy watching the young kids get their chance. I especially love it when the parents are in the stands and they do something great! It saddens me we suck, and it saddens me i don't like our front office and manager, but we carry on rooting for our beloved Twins! Have a great day if possible!

    Exactly! Hurry up and promote him before they wreck him 👍
