  1. Another "not a surprise" signing. If he didn't go back to Atl, he was going to the Cubbies.
  2. I would have rather kept Gio for around the same money. We didn't need Gallo, and he's not worth $11 mil.
  3. I'm willing to wait until ST to see what other moves he makes, but if we get more of the same head scratchers...then I really don't care how he leaves, as long as he goes.
  4. I would have voted for "Z", but the scale only went to "F". This move makes absolutely no sense. I thought it was a RandBalls Stu satire article, when I first saw it. Hell...let's bring back Sano while we're at it, and see if they can set a teammate record for strike outs.
  5. Can't help you my friend...I just jumped.
  6. This HAS to be a RandBalls Stu thing...right? This can't possibly be correct, can it? We just got rid of one homer happy strike out guy, and now we get his left handed clone? So what if he's good defensively, WE DON'T NEED GALLO! I'm jumping on the bandwagon with Brock...I'm done with this FO. They must be insane. WTF we need this guy for, I have no idea. I'll take Kep any day over Gallo.
  7. At this point...I'd lean toward doing a full rebuild. Blow it up and start over. Let ALL the kids play. Just like the 1980's. At least that might be fun to watch. It's obvious this FO/ownership isn't going to spend the money necessary to land any of the top FA's out there. Even the one(s) we desperately need. It's just not in their business model plan. Getting Correa last season was a total fluke. Even though there's time left before ST, it sure doesn't look like that they're really trying to make any trades to help things out. All we've done is sign a catcher...which we absolutely had to do. If by some miracle, we'd make the playoffs, we'd get bounced right away by whomever we play. No matter what, it's the same old story here. I love the Twins, and I won't stop watching them, but I know how this tale turns out.
  8. Not a surprise...that's where he wanted to go.
  9. C'mon...seriously? No, no, no!
  10. Ain't gonna happen.
  11. Now that CC went to the Giants, the market/money for Swanson goes even higher. I doubt we get him. Get ready for Farmer and whomever else they might bring in here at short.
  12. Insane money. Our FO/ownership wasn't going to do that. Best of luck to him. NOW...it gets interesting. What will the FO do with Swanson, if they want to pivot to him...and what will they do as far as trades and other FA's?
  13. Meets the requirements for organizational depth...barely.
  14. They probably have a better chance of getting Rodan from the Godzilla movies, than they do of getting Rodon. As you can see...Rodan likes to pitch inside!
  15. I'd take Swanson in a heartbeat, if we don't sign CC. Swanson is a very good ball player. Might be better offensively, and solid defensively too. My feeling is...we have to get one of those two guys. CC would be the preference, Swanson, if CC goes elsewhere.
  16. Vasquez was with Boston when the Stros were banging the trash cans.
  17. BOUT DAMN TIME! Let's keep it going!
  18. Milwaukee definitely got the best of this thing. If I was Atlanta, I'd rather keep Contreras, than trade to get Murphy. It doesn't add up. It sure doesn't help us at all...I'd love to have Murphy or Contreras, but it's a pretty strange deal.
  19. I know it's not really the way it is...but it sure seems like we're stuck in neutral, when other teams have the pedal to the metal. We need to get something going. Here's just a few FA names still available. Vasquez and Narvaez are still out there. We sure need a catcher. Infielders: Obviously, Correa and Swanson are available, along with Iglesias. Drury is still out there. Outfielders: Gallo, Benintendi, Myers, Conforto, Mancini are still out there. The pitchers are mostly gone. Unless you want Archer, Bundy, Hill, Pineda, or Sanchez back. I sure don't. I don't know if any of those guys does anything for you, but it would be nice if we make a move or two. Maybe get a few trades going. I know it's a long way until next season, but the pickings are getting thin already.
