    This is my belief, but it's also why I was fully onboard to dump him. He knows father time is winning.
  2. TheLeviathan
    Rojas seems to be the key to that deal. Roden is a bit redundant to Larnach from what I've seen (though a much better athlete).
  3. TheLeviathan
    That was my read. Like a video game where it automatically times the animation for the runner speed. It was the most unintentionally arrogant 6-3 put out I can remember.
  4. TheLeviathan
    That sucks man, sorry to hear that.

    This is all completely ridiculous. All of these suggestions include the Pohalds spending money. Nice try Nick......you almost had me. :)

    Outman not being in LF last night was super confusing. If you think Outman needs adjustments....why not make them at the big league level?
  8. TheLeviathan
    I want to ask the group specifically....why do we think Correa was quietly asking to move to third base at all? What would be his motivation?

    I almost posted something yesterday wondering aloud how the lockout might be trickling down to team behaviors right now. The D-backs also got relatively mediocre returns on their sell-offs and it had me wondering if owners are already bunkering down. For the Twins this seems especially true. Hell, these very same owners had substantially gutted payroll prior to contraction efforts as well. It does feel like they're trying to pocket money, ride it out until the lockout, and walk away with a sale price then. If so....I have another thing to add here that people won't like: Falvey won't be going anywhere. Which means like neither is Rocco. This is going to feel like the late 90s again. We just have to hope some of these guys they acquired usher in a new early 2000s by the time the team is sold.

    I think Correa is clearly a very savvy guy when it comes to politics. He knows how to grease wheels and have imput as an employee. I'm not 100% sure I like what reads between those lines (As in....why did he want to move to 3B? Is he feeling the decline?) or how that could grate on some people, but I don't think he's malicious about it. I also think Correa is probably done as a regular, high level contributor on the field. I know people don't like to hear about age cliffs (especially those of us well past those cliffs ourselves!) but the numbers don't lie about career trajectories. Maybe he's got something left in the tank....but I'm glad the Twins aren't betting on it anymore.
  11. TheLeviathan
    TBD is the unsexy, yet correct answer.
  12. TheLeviathan
    I mean....starving children can't hire lobbyists so it should work fine.
  13. TheLeviathan
    First off....100% agreed. This deadline reinforced my fears that they're keeping the team. I hope I'm wrong. To your first paragraph? It would take staggering incompetence to lose billions. Especially when we've allowed billionaires to make the rules, privatize the profits, socialize their losses, and never be bound by the law. Not to be political, but it's far past time people see that we left capitalism awhile ago and have pretended cronyism is the same thing.
  14. TheLeviathan
    I think the answer is yes. Also....part of the problem. The bullpen can't be your overwhelming source of strength. Even the vaunted Royals pen from not that long ago still had to have some dudes get them the lead.
  15. TheLeviathan
    To add to this now.....the hell is he doing in AAA?
  16. TheLeviathan
    I understand the pessimism on Outman....but like @Riverbrian I think I like him. I want multi-dimensional dudes and I like taking shots and rebound careers. He might be a Willie Castro type reclamation. I also admit....some of that is just personal bias and I'm overlooking age and recent stats. But I'm planting my flag on thinking he's worth a shot, however low those odds are.
  17. TheLeviathan
    A couple things I think are clear need to happen in the offseason: 1) Pablo Lopez trade. Right now they have Ryan-Bradley-Ober-Zebby-Festa-SWR and others that can fill in the rotation. If I had to timeline what they did today, it's build for 2028. 2) Shop Joe Ryan if you don't give him an extension. I'd rather give him 5 years 130M and call it a day....but if ownership and money is an issue - keep pressing the Red Sox for Roman Anthony. 3) Left-handed hitting corner guys are way too plentiful at this point. We're going to need to balance the roster out a bit. I like giving Outman LF for the next year and a half and see what we got. It's time for Larnach to go IMO. Give Roden 1B, Outman LF, Wallner RF, and get yourself a right handed guy. Larnach for bullpen help would make a lot of sense IMO. 4) Clear the path for 2026 to be young guys and letting them audition to see if they are part of the future. Austin Martin needs a spot. Julien needs a spot. Sabato maybe. Brooks Lee at SS every day. Keaschall at whatever spot he's destined for every day. I'm probably missing others, but it's time to invest in changing the culture here: Run the god damn bases. Play like athletes. Let Buck be the true culture leader in the locker room.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I won't argue all the deals made sense or maximized value or even that the returns yielded a vision/lane..... But emotionally? I did feel there was a lane: they sobered up and figured out it wasn't working. Problem is that all the upper management and ownership who built it are still here. That's the next gutting we need.

    100% with you. The Varland one I can't wrap my head around unless they really, really like the two guys they got. But even then.... The rest? I breathe easy knowing we aren't in this awful place of pretending we're good enough. Trade Lopez this offseason and truly rebuild the organization. Tippy top to bottom.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I don't want to argue value or any of that. I get where you're at on it, so this is not an effort to disagree with where you stand. But for me? This was (credit to @Aggies7) sorta cathartic. Wheel spinning complacency was just not what I wanted anymore. I'm ready for a new era. I hope the next domino on that agenda is ownership.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I have no idea if they did well today. If every one of these moves is garbage at least I can say this much: They didn't piddle around and do nothing. It's an absolutely crazy sea change in the organization and that much, at least, was something I wanted to see. Now let's do a similar gutting of those above the players. Starting with the ones cutting checks. (Sorta. Handing out pennies?)
  24. TheLeviathan
    I think for me it's just how little trust I have in Stewart to stay healthy.
  25. TheLeviathan
    I am just fine swapping Stewart's ticking timebomb of a shoulder for a former ROTY contender. Little older than I'd like, but I'm game to gamble on a dude like this.
