    So if the Twins think Caratini is worth $7m and Jeffers $6.7m, that means Caratini is the primary catcher right? I'm trying to put together the puzzle of this offseason but I just can't get the pieces to fit.

    Thank you. Truly.

    Thank you. I needed this.

    Good, objective piece. It's really hard to understand how Falvey views this roster because the moves he makes are so puzzling. He's in a tough spot personally, he knows his leash is short and probably disappears altogether if the team gets sold, so he's probably thinking the only way to save his job is through a miracle run in 26. So on one hand I get it. I just wonder if the pressure and stress is getting the best of him because there's just no coherence to what he's doing.

    Let's be fair to 3T. Relentlessly pursuing a championship must be exhausting.

    I'm not following the "proof of concept". The concept apparently is to spend 6 years worth of time, money, and resources developing a guy and then...dump him in order to...restart the process all over again with another player? This seems like constantly planning for a future 5 years down the road that never happens. In other words, the story of the last 3 decades of Twins fandom.

    $500k is approximately 0.01 % of the Pohlads net worth. 0.01% of the average American net worth is about $5. The Pohlads are holding out and further irritating one of its few good players over the equivalent of $5.

    So what? Fans have a right to feel however they want. If coming here makes you sick then don't. I hope you can see the irony of complaining about negativity. "All the negativity in this place sucks!" Stop being so negative! Be the change you want to see in the world!

    He is supposed to be happy with how the season ended? If you were a professional ballplayer who desperately wanted to win, would you be happy with the direction of the Twins?

    I don't understand your point. If it's not ok to make presumptions on a sports blog you are came to the wrong place. The Twins need better players, not "clubhouse guys". They had a legendary "leader" last year in Correa and the team was so bad they dumped him for nothing.

    Tough Talkin' Tom had the one tough press conference and has since disappeared. Maybe he held himself accountable to his own words and decided not to go big after all and simply go home instead. That's what I call relentless!
  12. Woof Bronzer
    Nothing says "relentless pursuit of a championship" like nickel and diming one of your better players who is already unhappy.
  13. Woof Bronzer
    Why do you presume there will be a benefit?
  14. Woof Bronzer
    Thanks, that's quite a bit higher than I would have assumed. In my mind the Japanese players are more free agents vs draft picks and I've given up hope that the Twins will ever be big players in that pool, but even separating out those players, I'm guessing the numbers are still high. Seems like this may be an underrated aspect of the Twins' struggles under Falvey. If they aren't shopping in the store that teams get 1/3 of their talent...and they aren't shopping in the big time FA market...then that puts all the more pressure on developing thru the MLB draft and winning trades.

    Interesting piece, I'm interested to read the series. To the question of how the Twins have done of late, they've done very poorly under Falvey. I don't think a single Falvey international signing has made the bigs. But I would be curious how this compares to the rest of the league. How many international signees are currently on MLB rosters? What's the average success rate? How do championship organizations like the Dodgers handle international signings? I'd be really interested in a correlation between payroll and international signings - it would seem to me that this is an area small or mid market teams can leverage a competitive advantage and that success in this area is critical for those teams, but who knows. Looking forward to the series!

    Good piece but a little muddled. Nick says the Twins were the worst team in baseball over the second half but then says .500 should be the reasonable goal for 26. How? How exactly are the Twins going to improve by 25 wins over their post-deadline pace by adding Josh Bell?

    Interesting way of describing cheating. Maybe one day Kepler will get over his fear of injections that help other people.
  18. Woof Bronzer
    Yeah I mean it sure sounds like he was literally beefing up...

    If you thought an internet comment board was a place you could leave your opinion you came to the wrong place mister!

    Do cow steroids help a person return quicker from injuries?
  21. Woof Bronzer
    So the guy who was so concerned about the purity of the athlete's body that he refused to get vaccinated for COVID decided to inject himself with a cow steroid explicitly unsafe for humans? What an enormous, pathetic hypocrite.

    One of the most depressing things the Pohlads have done to this fanbase is instill the notion that we absolutely cannot have nice things, and the only free agents we can reasonably sign are bad, -1 to 1 WAR guys, so fans must make lemonade from lemons. And this is breaking fan brains. It's actually very sad, a fanbase so desperate for relevance and wins that we have fans saying things like "Twins fans are gonna love this AAAA guy who just got cut by Miami." "Eric Wagaman Might Be the Next Kyle Garlick" is a headline written by a trauma patient. Kyle Garlick produced 0.4 WAR, 0.1 WAR, and -0.1 WAR for the Twins. He'd the definition of a replacement level player, except that no MLB team believes he is even capable of that level of "performance", because he hasn't played in MLB for 2 years. It's ok to dream bigger than Kyle Garlick!

    Probably the same architect who designed the 2025 half-measure off-season plan and the 2024 half-measure off-season plan.
  24. Woof Bronzer
    This is not getting talked about enough. If you are going to sign terrible AAAA hitters at least sign terrible AAAA hitters who have defensive value. Instead Falvey seems insistent on making the 2026 Twins even worse defensively than in 2025.
  25. Woof Bronzer
    As I've said before, Falvey, who has been credited with modernizing the sabermetrics operation to facilitate data driven decisions, is on his 3rd consecutive offseason of just throwing all data out the window and hoping that the player wildly outperforms his numbers. In other words: delusion. That's the Twins grand strategy after 2 disastrous seasons: sign some of the worst hitters in baseball (in Jackson's case, one of the worst hitters in MLB history) and hope they magically become good hitters.
