    Yes, if you uprooted your entire life based on promises of competing and investing in the team, I'd be not happy as well. I'd say it goes back to the off-season befoythat fresh off the play offs, they did not double down and invest, that showed the team leadership didn't believe. It's not about money always, the other currency is prospects and they could have made trades for talented pre arb or early arb players

    I feel bad for TD. Y'all have been exceptional over the decade I've engaged with the content. But the owners make it tough for fans to be anything but apathetic, which likely decrease engagement here. I remember pre ads here, but I know the content game has had much worse economics creating that need for ads. I worry the people at One Twins way are taking a Miley Cyrus wrecking ball to the community you helped navigate through the terrible early 2010s. by inspiring hope in the prospects. To me it's less about giving the Polahds money but finding a way to hold accountable that the front office has created an uninspiring brand of baseball. I'm not even 30 but I miss the days of Piranha ball, crisp fielding and Nick Punto like hustle

    It was a mistake to not package Bader and Duran, they both went to Philly. Once again the FO chose quantity over quality. They have a "catcher" who doesn't grade well defensively, and a SP who lacks control. Premium RP for half season should get back end top 100 like marlins got for Tanner Scott last year. Each year of control another top 100. They should have added Crawford as the Buxton successor,and the Phillies SS prospect advanced up the middle talent. Those two should have headlined with one more back end top 100. Would also have done Painter and Crawford. They need RP because they and the Mets neither wants to risk a payroll that high getting out in the wild card round. Don't get me started on the other trades.

    How nice of a prospect is the group willing to give the Marlins to take his salary and we will send you LHRP?
  5. Ryan_K
    Royce and comp a pick for Luzardo, both have injury concerns. or add Nardi and Nick Fortes (def first catcher) and Marlins take on Vasquez. I'd do this as Marlins fan. Old number 3s are getting 22mm a year, Luzardo is undervalued by MLB trade values
  6. Ryan_K
    Trade idea, Twins trade Padock and Vasquez and Royce and ERod Marlins assume full salary and trade back Fortes, and Luzardo
  7. Ryan_K
    so as a Miami guy, we don't need Larnach, Royce is interesting, would want to see if we can build bigger package and remove our catcher from the trade. Both have some injury concerns so it's fair, but if Jesus got healthy you'd be looking one top 25 prospect and another top 70 prospect for 2 years, we only do Royce if we sign him to extension
  8. Ryan_K
    As a Marlins fan, would love him down here. Probably tough to trade Eury but other pitchers are more likely.
  9. Ryan_K
    White Sox are easily more attractive, not stuck in a lease so a) they can relocate b) Chicago much larger market for local revenue. Either way WS have path to local development opportunities that twins don't. other factors mentioned are transitory: farm, MLB roster nothing sticky about either one of those
  10. Ryan_K
    It's a high price for 1 team. The style is not engaging with the strike outs, wish it was more KC speed, contact defense and players who play 130 plus games. Plus you still have ads IMO, make it free streaming, boost viewership, and use that to sell ad spots at a higher rate. Plus this gets the 5 state area being Twins fans easily so more merch and seats are sold.
  11. Ryan_K
    Interesting idea, if Nardi, and young LH SP i.e. Braxton Garrett plus Marlins taking Vasquez contract off the Twins hands, what would be your best offer. I no longer have MLB Trade Values, but think this could give Twins flexibility...Marlins would love a package that could start with Lee or Louis
  12. Ryan_K
    He's better than Harvey who KC got for a prospect just outside top 100 and a comp a pick.
  13. Ryan_K
    well my offer may seem steep, but if you aren't trading your best prospect you need quantity and even then it's usually 1 top 100 per year add in LHP and you get him for 3 playoff runs it's 3 top 100s, if you'd rather have Cleveland and KC take the division while this core is still young it's the teams choice
  14. Ryan_K
    One quick follow up, the rest of the central needs pieces the Marlins have, so if Bendix plays his cards right he starts by trading Jazz and some other guys to Detroit and KC and Cleveland and put MN in a desperate spot to overpay in prospects --remember the TV situation twins have to put a good product together to get some ad Rev
  15. Ryan_K
    I say this as a former MN and now Miamian. Luzardo is healthy and good, look at his last 10 starts and is controllable for 2.5 years, the offer must exceed the Cease and Berrios trades. I'd ask for Jenkins, if that's a no then I ask Lee and EROD, I could swap that for Lee plus festa + raya plus soto, Also if there is anything MN would be open to moving Royce I'd love to hear --Marlins would love him, we miss Arraez. Also want Austin Martin as a throw in
  16. Ryan_K
    As a Marlins fan, I don't want to trade either and with our injuries hard to say. I'd like to get an idea of what a 6 year arraez extension would cost. If we can't sign him long term by May he'll be traded. Luzardo is top 15 pitcher so looking for a berrios type of trade and he has an extra season of control
  17. Ryan_K
    Luzardo is an ERod+ Lee and another 2 in the 10 to 15 range, or Royce or Jenkins plus festa
  18. Ryan_K
    Also attended the game Lee and Martin seemed to have good chemistry and both looked good on the dirt (still want Martin to be our Alex Gordon in LF) Tough time for 3rd baseman with the errors (it stood out the Rays guys were willing to dive and get glove dirty twins not so much) Caminero was smooth at 3rd with great internal clock and Issac was fun too. Fun auto session but surprised Rays had there guys there but didn't see many of twins top people when I got up there I. e. Jenkins, Lee (grateful for the caminero auto)
  19. Ryan_K
    What type of return would the twins want for a package of Kirriloff and Martin from Marlins? Controllable set up type, or is there a bigger trade possible with those two plus Lee or one of our SP I. e. Garrett?
  20. Ryan_K
    yes, but Luzardo likely has an asking price what White Sox got for cris sale, Sandy has 3 years after this year avg less than 19mm so with injury but durable I see cease level ask
  21. Ryan_K
    He's beloved fans come to a section called Sandy Beach. We could trade him but not like a salary dump like MLB trade values has him. He was durable did complete games which is so rare. We'd likely value him similar to what White Sox ask for Dylan Cease at his best he's top 10 SP, seeing what teams are paying reclamation projects if I said a price I'd get a lot of laugh emojis.
  22. Ryan_K
    As a now Marlins local fan and resident there is 0 chance we consider those trades. Cabrera does walk a lot but also elite strike outs and grounders. For him I'd want Martin, comp pick, festa, and twins comp b pick Luzardo starts with Royce and Festa, if Royce is untouchable then maybe Braxton another LHP we have for Lee Martin Rodriguez maybe we toss in a set up arm to even things out. Twins don't have a playoff rotation right now and there are many teams looking for controllable SP this is the Marlins price
  23. Ryan_K
    Went to the DR Venezuela game last Saturday and thought it was the best game I've ever watched. Then went last night and it was a WOW experience.New best game. The passion the fans have, the focus on the game vs the typical MLB fan on their phone. It was tremendous. I wasn't at the Metrodome during the world series days but have to imagine the volume was similar
  24. Ryan_K
    Miami does it right, 3 or 5 menu, for 3 you get dogs popcorn pretzel or soda for 5 you get beer
  25. Ryan_K
    We could have had Correa. I'm surprised he was willing to go that long for 350 I had thought it would be 10 at 35, this was much friendlier. Padres could spend this and so could we, it's all about resource allocation which the FO has done a poor job with. Consider that we have our TV deal coming up and we are coming from 2 sub 500 seasons, why would the networks think they will get a lot of impressions with the product on the field. Baseball is a business and it feels like we have poor allocates of resources.
