Evident, as the twins won the season series against them. I don’t think it is ridiculous anymore to say that the Astros are on or slightly above the twins level. They lost Springer, Correa, Prime Gurriel, and Brantley and Bergman haven’t been the same. They have tried to replace those players, and they have a few good players such as pena fill those gaps, but they just can’t replace the stardom of years past.

Correa was already willing to play through this injury before finally going to the IL.  He is a gamer and if the Twins need\want him to play he will play.

After this season we can add Bally Sports Network to the list.

Or a Kris Lindahl arms stretching out across the entirety of the jersey. 

Nothing against the player but must we include that uniform on this website?

That's the first thing I thought of.  I recall he basically chose the Angels when he initially came over.  Suppose they now trade him for a ransom with a wink wink nod nod that he resign with them after the season.  Trout comes back next year with Ohtani plus the traded-for assets and they then can compete. 

Throw in Miranda and Pagan.  

Think the Halos would be interested in Gallo and Kep?

I have more time on my hands than in recent years- to watch a under-preforming twins offense. Rocco is buried in his statistics and spread sheets and seems to treat the games like they are just a lab experiment. Maybe if Rocco tried to mange like the games mattered and started thinking in baseball terms things would turn out differently. Things just seem to fly over his head.

Cross fingers, hope they make it to the playoffs, but considering this team has the longest postseason losing streak in all of North American sports it would be real grand if they won a game. Setting the bar pretty low.

That's a depressing list of "all time great outfielders".

This is the worst part of baseball, absolutely horrific. I hope that Farmer has a speedy and comfortable recovery.

They rely too much on analytics!
They don't let the players play!
Their manager stinks!
They don't know how to keep the team healthy!
They don't know how to groom prospects!
They don't sign quality FA!  (They got lucky on Correa)
They aren't honest with the fans!
They wear ugly shoes!
Falvey's hair looks like....

Sorry, got a little sidetracked there...
 

What MLB team is expecting the regular season to be "all hands on deck every day?" What fan of what MLB team is expecting that? Nobody who watches baseball regularly is expecting that. No team is fielding their regulars for any game in spring training to this point. The Rays didn't send a single major league position player to their game with the Twins Thursday. I mean you're just complaining about Spring Training in general here.
The difference between last year's shortened spring training and what the Twins are doing with a few players this year is that the Twins players have been in the complex for the full Spring Training, and they're all participating in activities. Hitting, running, fielding, pitching, everything. Buxton played in a minor league game instead of a major league game because the rules are different and he was allowed to bat 2nd every inning. Didn't have to follow the lineup. Could just step in there and hit when he wanted to. So he got more game action there than any major leaguer gets in any Spring Training game to this point of Spring Training. 
None of this means the Twins will have a healthier roster. They may still get hurt. But there's a big difference between you not seeing them play, and them not playing.

This team is comprised of icicles. If anyone thinks the regular season will be all hands on deck every day they are fools. They can't even field the regulars for 1 game in spring training due to injuries not completely healed from last year yet or from just being overly cautious. Wasn't the excuse for poor play at the start of the season last year due to a shortened spring training and yet here we are a year later and the regulars aren't playing every day getting primed for the regular season. When they start to fall like dominoes due to injuries again, the FO will have no one to blame but themselves for bringing in and sticking with injury prone players due to the cheaper cost of rostering players like them. When June or July rolls around and half the roster is on the IL they'll only have themselves to blame. 

No, Dylan Dingler is.

Blackout rules for mlb.tv might not be THE stupidest thing in professional sports but it's right up there.  Let's see....your sport is losing popularity.  So....let's make it HARDER for fans to see their team play.  Genius.

Do you know for a fact the Miguel Sano tried out for the Dominican team and was cut?
Do you know for a fact that Miguel Sano thinks he doesn’t have to work for his place in life or professional baseball?
site published sources. While I care a lot about fans opinions, stating them as facts doesn’t fly.

Hopefully they give us some news about where to watch this season soon-opening day is rapidly approaching.

This is the chance baseball viewers have been waiting for. Knock on wood MLB takes this silver lining, puts a great product on the field, markets the hell out of the star players and the fans tune in like never before. No more Ballys, or FSNs or other kind of RSN crap with arcane broadcasting rules and hard to find broadcasts. If MLB doesn't want to take the reigns of broadcasting long term (though they should consider it), at least make this game attractive enough for Amazon or Hulu or someone to buy up everything, or at least everything not covered by teams with alternative broadcasting partners, and make an individual broadcaster a one-stop-shop, fees already included, destination for MLB games.

Actually, yes. I have no interest in spending literally $100 a month for a product I use to watch baseball and literally NOTHING else. 

This is weirdly(and sadly) the thing that has me most excited about watching baseball in years!
