    Let him play. See what he can do. Give him the opportunity to make it impossible to send him back down.

    But you think those same partners would have invested in an organization losing hundreds of millions of dollars every year despite receiving $200m/yr in welfare (revenue sharing)? Think about this for a minute. Agree on this. Total System Failure.

    Do you have access to the Pohlads books? Or are you just choosing to believe whatever the Pohlads want you to believe? Talk to anyone in commercial real estate in the Twin Cities how the Pohlads are doing. It's well known around town that at a time when most other companies were bailing from commercial real estate - especially class A office space - the Pohlads doubled down. They are now underwater on a large portion of their real estate portfolio through two companies (United Properties and Northmarq). Shifting debt around is actually a pretty common business practice for large corporations like the Pohlads. They just got caught with their hands in the cookie jar when they decided to sell the team. Here's the biggest tell: if the Twins were really losing hundreds of millions year over year (keeping in mind that they receive $200m in revenue sharing), the Pohlads would have sold the team for a dollar, not to mention $1.5b. So if what you are saying is true, that the Pohlads ran Twins-only operating losses in the hundreds of millions of dollars for several years (even though they received $200m in revenue sharing), then turning down $1.5b for the privilege of continuing to lose hundreds of millions of dollars every year would make the Pohlads quite possibly the dumbest businesspeople in the history of capitalism. The number of fans carrying water for the Pohlads in this thread is really surprising.

    Your entire premise is based on the false idea that the Twins debt came from operating losses which Falvey would have known about. It didn't. The Pohlads used the Twins as a debt shelter for their failing real estate businesses. Falvey was an incompetent GM and has played an enormous role in the sad state this franchise finds itself in. But it's silly to blame him for the Pohlad's dumb decision to double down on a dying market (commercial real estate post-COVID).

    Again, dude, your "plan" involved a laughable trade (for another outfielder) that Washington would never, ever, ever make; signing a crappy reliever for $7m, and illegally trading Bell less than 2 months after signing him and Mendys for no one (for some reason). Your "plan" would get laughed out of every front office in baseball. Don't quit your day job lol. Your narrative is also shifting. Yesterday Tommy couldn't wait to fire Falvey, now suddenly he wanted to work with Falvey. Which is it? How do you know this? I now understand why you are carrying so much water for Tommy. I'm guessing you emailed Falvey your brilliant "plan" about 7 times and got angrier each time he didn't respond, so now you hate Falvey because if he'd only listened to you the Twins would be World Series champs by now. I hate to break it to you, but Tommy isn't hiring you.

    Uh, what? This is nonsensical. Tommy first showed up at a press conference in September. He officially took over in mid December. Yet he waited til February to fire Falvey. Why didn't he fire Falvey on day 1? day 5? day 30? The original poster was saying this plan - to contend with a talent-starved roster while not investing any resources - was dumb, and Tommy Pohlad was dumb to think it would work. You seem to think it was a good plan and it's Falvey's fault it didn't work. Ok. lolololol yes why didn't the Twins simply do this, it's so simple. Finally, the Twins package Hendry Mendez to sweeten the deal for a team to take on Josh Bell's contract in return for a PTBNL. Ah yes, the classic 1) sign a guy 2) trade him 2 months later before playing a single game 3) give away another prospect in the deal too 4) get nothing in return 5) ?? 6) compete for the playoffs!

    How does one get bolder and more aggressive roster-building by giving a new GM $0 to work with 3 weeks ahead of spring training?
  19. Woof Bronzer
    He was very clear that he wants the 2026 season to be judged not on payroll but on wins and losses.

    Max Kepler hit .216, OPS'd .690, and put up 0.1 WAR last year.

    Thanks for confirming he's currently suspended for cheating!

    Kepler is currently suspended for cheating.
  25. Woof Bronzer
    Well it's true he "missed" a series in Toronto because he refused to get a safe vaccine, and now he has "missed" half a season for cheating and injecting himself with dangerous chemicals and getting caught. Maybe that's his nickname, Missing Max!
  26. Woof Bronzer
    You have an extra "are" in there. Typos happen to the best of us!

    Yep, that's my point. Somehow in those 125 years of changes, "let's create more Anthony Swarzaks" just hasn't stuck. I wonder why.
  29. Woof Bronzer
    Lol. There was a significant portion of the comment section who insisted for years that Wallner was actually amazing and the fans who didn't like him were just ignorant haters who didn't understand the modern game where home runs are all that matters and strikeouts are fine. I believe a certain someone (not naming names) even said before the season that every MLB team would start Wallner in RF in 2026. More accurate to say the love and hate for Wallner on this site has always been disproportionate to his actual talent and impact.
