    Start with a new CBA, :)

    I agree baseball has a problem with that, I just prefer a different solution to it personally.

    Given the attendance numbers his sample size to irritate is at least pretty damn low!

    I personally hate that. I think it has really hurt the trade deadline and diluted the playoff field. In sports where there are less random outcomes that is a defensible position, but to me baseball and hockey (in particular) need to have a much smaller playoff field. I'd want to encourage competitive behavior in other ways.

    Only confirmation of the right thing to do anyway friend.

    I can't seem to find a recap of that offer, what did they propose?

    We've had some really memorable Game 163s and I do think a playoff race can provide a spark....but context matters. We knew those Twins teams as consistent contenders. They had an established past and promising future with that core to resonate emotionally. I can't imagine anyone would argue the 2026 team falls in that category.

    That would be fine, the problem is the cost of quality relief pitching is highest right now. How much are you willing to pay for a reliever?

    I think this is a well thought-out article, so I appreciate that. I don't love the cost on that Griffin rental. Or to get a mid-700s OPS guy in Walker. If that's the buy cost then I'm even more entrenched on not doing it.

    I am not in the camp that believes an 83-85 win, squeak into the playoffs in a bad division, type of run makes any meaningful distinction with the fanbase. The swings and momentum are going to need to be far more significant for that to happen. I don't see this team as the one to generate that momentum. 30% odds really shouldn't be enough to make poor asset management choices. I don't know what the Twins might be able to acquire for Bell, Jeffers, etc. but I'm more than willing to explore it with those odds.
  31. TheLeviathan
    Two things: Bringing up '87 (even with acknowledgements) is not helpful IMO. It's a whole new playoff world now for those comps to have merit. Baseball is a game with many random outcomes in small samples leading to a playoff setup with more rounds only compounding that nature. To your point here: That's reasonable, but that path also includes knowingly bypassing the chance to add assets for players that are highly unlikely to be retained. The balancing act comes down to choosing what you place more value in for lost opportunity. I don't view low odds to survive multiple rounds worth that trade off for a team that can't muster a .500 record or even have a positive run differential.

    Part of the arguments people make for "go for it" sure do seem predicated on havign Joe Ryan as an ace. Hopefully he turns it around but this is a fairly robust sample size at this point:

    I can understand that goal....I'd probably crack a joke about our playoff misery if I was keeping that theme going but neither of us needs that PTSD.....I just don't see it with this crew. Trading low level prospects isn't the part that bothers me about buying either, it's missing out on assets for players I don't see sticking around that bugs me. I think there is hope on the horizon, I'd rather have all the added talent to that group that I can get.

    No offense @Vanimal46 but I googled that because I thought you were wrong. He seems like he's been around for 20 years.

    How the eff is he only 30?
