    They are paying Bundy $4 million this year and hold a team option for 2023. They are going to give him every possible chance to succeed, for better or worse.
  2. LewFordLives
    The other issue is where do you put Paddack? I doubt Bundy and Archer signed contracts here to pitch out of the pen. Is Paddack going to be a reliever?
  3. LewFordLives
    I don't get it. Paddack hasn't been good in two years. And the team control won't matter if he has a lingering elbow issue. Paddack brings no value added over other pitching options.
  4. LewFordLives
    I don't get this at all. Paddack is terrible. Who's going to take Roger's spot in the pen? This front office once again leaves me puzzled.

    What's Paddock worth straight up? I don't think I would even give them Larnach. Paddock is young and controllable, but he's also been terrible the last two seasons. I would rather see Winder get a chance. (Yesterday was the first time I saw Winder pitch. Count me in as one of the true believers.). They don't need Paddock. The guys at St Paul would give the Twins a better chance to win

    I'm not against two catchers, but when one of them is Sanchez...??? I guess I just have to trust that the coaches have no trouble with his defense.
  7. LewFordLives
    Neither of those prospects were on the Padres top ten. Seems like the Twins could've topped that without making it hurt
  8. LewFordLives
    I thought he was out of options. Didn't he have to clear waivers?
  9. LewFordLives
    Someone is going to have to get cut from the 40-man. Vallimont?
  10. LewFordLives
    Martin doesn't belong AA. He can hit at a major league level. I guess he can work on his fielding at St. Paul.
  11. LewFordLives
    Yup, both Android and the app have he latest updates. I'll just have to hope it gets fixed in the next update. It's odd, because all other video works just fine, even the MLB Network feed. Just not live MLB.TV.
  12. LewFordLives
    Has anyone else had issues with live MLB.TV on Android 12? Works fine on my old Android 9 device, PC, and FireStick, but not my newer Android 12 device.

    I wouldn't call him "ideal". While I love him as a hitter, I would prefer someone who can steal more bases in that leadoff spot. Denard Span was the last great leadoff guy the Twins had (before they traded him for some magic beans). In his prime Span would steal a couple dozen bases per year. Arraez has a grand total of 4 SBs in the last three years.
  14. LewFordLives
    I concur. Not only could Martin hold down LF when Kirilloff inevitably moves to 1B, but his OBP and speed make him a prototypical leadoff hitter, something the Twins don't really have right now. He gets on base wherever he's played. He could probably play in the majors now and not embarrass himself.
  15. LewFordLives
    I was surprised no one asked Falvey about the Kiner-Falefa/Donaldson trade. He said the Correa deal came together quickly on Friday, but what happened the previous weekend that caused the Twins to do a complete 180 and trade Kiner-Falefa as part of the Donaldson salary dump? Did it become apparent last weekend that the Twins would have a chance to land Correa?
  16. LewFordLives
    Something is gonna have to give soon so they can add Correa to the 40 man.
  17. LewFordLives
    Not what everyone wanted, but if the price for Montas is too high, then this could help fill out the rotation in the near term. By July, either one of the younger guys will have stepped up or they can trade for a rental. Hopefully supply will increase and the price in prospects won't be as high.
  18. LewFordLives
    If the price gets too high, they could also wait for the trade deadline and get a 3 month rental. Maybe see if Cueto can hold down a spot in the near term. I am guessing Oakland will want one of Martin/Lewis and also a top pitching prospect. Would I do this for Montas? No, I would not. That would effectively be giving up more than what we received for Berrios. Also, the Twins are in the position they're in because they can't develop good pitching. They should not be giving away top pitching prospects. I think the highest I would go for Montas is one of Martin/Lewis and a lesser pitching prospect in the 10-20 range.
  19. LewFordLives
    I think his stuff can play in the majors now. I think the best way he can help the Twins now is in the bullpen, but as he gets enough major league innings under his belt transition to a starter if they think his body can handle it. ( Similar to Johan Santana)
  20. LewFordLives
    That what shocks me about this. Are you telling me the Astros, Yankees, and half a dozen other legit playoff contenders wouldn't do this deal?
  21. LewFordLives
    The way this off-season has gone, I might start smoking as well.
  22. LewFordLives
    Does the Kris Bryant contract price Story out of the Twins budget? You could make a strong argument that Story has been the better player, and they are approximately the same age.
  23. LewFordLives
    As much as I hate this trade for the Twins, I really don't understand it from the Yankee perspective either. Yeah, Kiner-Falefa fills a hole for them, but taking on Donaldson's contract puts them $20 million over the CBT threshold this year (according to COTs), and possibly next year as well. In addition to the $50 million he's still owed, they could realistically end up paying $10 million in additional luxery tax from this trade. They better hope he stays on the field. I get it's the Yankees, but I gotta think that's a tough pill to swallow, even for them. https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/

    Signed a minor league deal with Miami. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/marlins-sign-willians-astudillo-to-minors-contract.html

    You forgot one interesting tidbit about Sonny Gray's time in NY. There is evidence that his lack of success had at least something to do with.....Gary Sanchez! And now they're together again! https://www.nj.com/yankees/2018/05/why_yankees_sonny_gray_wants_and_needs_austin_romi.html#incart_river_index Nothing personal against Gary Sanchez. I'm sure he's a good person, but I don't see how he fits on this team. They need a reliable defense-first backup catcher, and that's not him. He's still got some pop in his bat, but hasn't had a credible OBP since 2018. If they use him at DH he'll just be taking at bats away from younger guys who will hopefully still be around when this team is back in the playoffs (whenever that might be). If they can't trade him, then I would not be opposed to just releasing him.
