    I assume sucking is a given, therefore let's suck with our kids rather than a bunch of Ty Frances. Stick with one of these kids and maybe you'll get a Rooker - or a Helman, who hit a grand slam for the Rangers last night.

    Sounding more and more like they are penciling him in for LF next spring. Please let this be the off season where we DON'T sign cheap veteran filler guys. If we're going to suck, let's do it with our prospects and at least learn something.

    This is my point. In my business, and I presume others, when I put out winning products, I sell more, and make more money. This idiotic business model we're stuck with has to change. Why can't teams be have the same type of incentives as a lot of players? Financial incentives, or dis-incentives to win. Team money for winning. .500 record = 10m Wild Card = 20M Division Title = 30M League Championship = 50M World Series = 100M If we're never going to have a salary cap/minimum or a percentage of revenue model, then we need to reward winning and punish losing somehow.

    This conversation is nuts 👍

    So we have more prospects to NOT properly develop. There is no point to this other than salary dump with the "cover" of these future magical prospects. Where are they? Now we're already onto the next wave? Here comes Jenkins and Culpepper oh boy
  6. In My La Z boy
    And Falvey & Rocco are their patsy's? If both of these guys well understand this as you've described then they are complicit, earning fat salaries knowing we have no chance to compete. How does Manfred allow such a disincentive as this. By losing our business makes more money? That's a stupid business model.
  7. In My La Z boy
    No. But is more unlikely we get a Joe Ryan back for Joe Ryan. Can we at least try to field a winning product?
  8. In My La Z boy
    Understood, but what's the point? To save money? To acquire prospects? Which, or both? The damn point of any organization should be to win. Joe helps us win, and he is of substantially more value than his contract. Let's see if we can win with him first next year, if not, then we still get a tremendous haul next summer, and the acquiring team can have him and lock him up. I want to field a winning product. We have a lot of prospects already.

    Pablo's salary sticks out like a sore thumb to a bean counter. I fail to understand how trading Joe Ryan is in any way a smart thing to do? At $8.5M he will bring back $25M in value to this team, and if we stink it up, no doubt Joe would still bring a haul in prospects for a year 1/2 of service to a contender at next years trade deadline. Dealing Ober at $7M seems smarter if that's what we're doing to shed salary.

    I've lost track of his contract incentives? Based on his projected stats, how much will we be paying him this year? Let's hope Atlanta doesn't come calling for him this winter 🙏

    🎯 This current management decided they didn't want us hearing Bert's opinions anymore. If it were up to Bert he'd still be calling 1/2 our games. I miss him.
  12. In My La Z boy
    Agreed but, Pohlad's could have sold for less than what they were holding out for. If the new minority owners bought 20% for $400M, that is a $2B total team valuation. I think the Pohlad's could have sold for $1.7B but they didn't want to.
  13. In My La Z boy
    Do you think our coaches know this? How are we not hitting fastballs? Nice to see Brooks Lee on top of the list. Fans have given him an undeserved beating lately. He's going to be a gamer 100%. On Wallner, we've missed our peak value window on him for making a trade, so we'll probably trade him this winter after picking up 2 more left-handed hitting corner OF'ers at the trade deadline. What is Falvey's obsession with left-handed hitting corner OF'ers??? How many does one team need???

    I went from "we are the worst team in baseball" to "oh my, maybe we have a chance" all in the same game. I love baseball. I just want to play well and watch some good baseball. C'mon!
  15. In My La Z boy
    But we are still in the midst of the old/new young core Larnach, Lewis, Wallner, Lee, Jeffers Can we just flip to the new young core when the old/new young core is still "developing" What a mess we find ourselves in
  16. In My La Z boy
    I agree on Lee. I think he's learned a lot and improves from here. It will be interesting to see if he gets pushed by Culpepper in the spring. I also look for continued improvement from Larnach & agree on moving him to 1st. If we keep our starters this winter I think we can compete in '26. Guys like Festa & Prielipp could be the back end of next years pen. Banking on big time improvement from Lewis & Wallner and another year like this one for Byron, and maybe we have a chance?
  17. In My La Z boy
    IDK. This front office is obsessed with left handed hitting corner outfielders. We just traded for 2 more in Outman & Roden. It never ends.
  18. In My La Z boy
    What a mess. My business landlord runs a major shopping center. He is the youngest son with 6 older siblings. The siblings only care about getting their money, while this landlord cares about running a good center. He's thinking about selling and cannot take the family pressure always for more money out of the tenants. Family business is this way when most of the family members are outside the business and are reliant upon the business to fund their lifestyle. This is where we're at.

    Wish I had more faith in our player development department. I'd agree if I thought we could turn these kids into stars. Big fail on position players in the Falvey era, and now with the kind of year Lewis, Wallner and Larnach have had - those 3 were each 1st round draft picks, and along with Lee, who looks like a bench player, what have we got with our last 5 or 6 #1 picks? Kirilloff & Rooker were also #1's. Falvey seems good w/Pitchers and awful with position players on drafting & developing.

    A true and deep rebuild gets rid of veteran salary and that's why you trade Pablo. I am NOT FOR THIS, just saying why. Pablo will bring back a stud prospect for sure. On Joe Ryan - we will enter 2026 with perhaps the #2 or #3 farm system as it stands, especially if Pablo gets traded. We don't NEED to trade Joe to have a top tier system - and keeping him gives us a chance. Now if we stink it up in 2026 Joe still brings perhaps what he'd bring this winter, at the 2026 trade deadline. We give up hardly nothing by keeping him till next July, unless he gets hurt, or sucks. A #1 starter is really hard to come by. Joe can be/and might already be a #1. Pablo is good, and a real good #3, but Joe could be special. Too special to trade yet I think.
  21. In My La Z boy
    🎯 Classic Twins lack of forthright communication. We've been in denial about a rebuild because no one has told us we're rebuilding. We have to come to our own conclusions because this front office won't tell us where we're going. No question orders were given to tear it down IF we trade Pablo & Joe - and IF we trade them, no doubt we trade Ober's $7M. Why keep him for $7M when we could keep Joe for $7.5M? I fear NOT trading Pablo and trying to split the difference once again between a partial rebuild and staying competitive, which doesn't work. At this point we MUST trade Pablo's salary, but trading Joe isn't necessary. If we stink by next July, we still receive a haul for him.
  22. In My La Z boy
    Absolutely! With no off season trades we look to have a deep, high caliber starting 5 next spring, with maybe the first couple men out going to our depleted bullpen? Young guys are the key to answering this question. How many of our top 100 crack the roster, and how good can Keaschall Lee and Lewis be in the infield and in the lineup? Can Byron have another year like this, and will Wallner become as good as we think he can become? The A's give me hope. They have some good looking young kids over there.
  23. In My La Z boy
    I ran the business for 27 years that my father started in 1969. Now my son runs it. I have 5 grandson's I hope to see in the businesses someday. We'll disagree about this topic and that's ok.
  24. In My La Z boy
    Now you are conflating rich kids with coaches kids. Carl Pohlad was a banker not a coach. I made an obvious point. You are being argumentative as young people like to do these days. Good luck young man 👍

    Often times a good athlete struggles to get over the hurdle because he's not that bright and he isn't passionate about the film and prep work. (Think Miranda) I want high IQ players. You usually get a high IQ athlete when you get a coaches kid, and you usually get a "student of the game". I am talking philosophy and game IQ and speaking in generalities. There is a point here you are summarily dismissing is my point.
