    You don't think they are very good at creating their own narrative?
  2. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Geez. I'm not sure what the disconnect is here. A lot of players are happy with their team and situation and still leave for more money. That doesn't mean the player didn't want to be where he was.

    Falvey and Levine are the spin masters. We see it all the time. They were negotiating with Boras as much as they were negotiating with Ohtani last winter. When the deal with the Mets fell through, Boras wasn't pivoting to the Twins on his own accord. His client directed him to do that. And the rest is history.
  4. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Boras and the player's union have a vested interest in his clients chasing top $$$. This happens every winter. There is a reason why these guys go un-signed for so long. It's also a big reason why Boras will lose clients. Correa's chasing the money isn't necessarily indicative of where he really wanted to be.

    Based on what?
  6. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Reading comprehension. It can be your friend. Did I say that a player had influence over the FO's decision making? It's 2024. Not 1994. Free agency is anything but a straight line.
  7. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Did I say that Buxton opened negotiations? You can believe what you want. Every free agency decision has layers to it and gray areas. If you think it is linear, then that's your opinion.
  8. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    It isn't misinformation. You think Buxton wasn't prompted by Correa? You think Boras reached out to Falvey without Correa's direction?
  9. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I don't know how the Giants feel about missing out on Correa, but I think the Mets have some regret. Money's not a concern for Cohen so even if they did give Correa a 13-year deal and he crapped out on the back end, it wouldn't have a huge impact on Cohen or the Mets' finances. The negotiations with the Mets turned into a pissing match between Cohen and Boras. That's when Correa turned back and reached out to Buxton to open the lines of communication with the Twins. The Mets' revised offer was still more than what the Twins were offering but the interest from Correa was always lukewarm at best and when the Mets and Twins had at least somewhat comparable deals on the table, C4 went where he wanted to be.

    This, I don't think people appreciate just how good this guy is.
  11. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Farm Dog on the base paths...oof.
  12. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    He used the change up really well today. Was nice to see.
  13. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Santana!
  14. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    He's definitely a super star, IYAM.
  15. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    This. Lewis is the energizer bunny. But it's Correa's team. One of the best leaders in baseball.
  16. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Hoping Buck can join the party here.
  17. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    He was pressing in 2022 and the team as a whole fell off the rails in August. Last year, he played on one leg. What we're seeing now, this is C4.
  18. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Correa is a special, special player.
  19. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Nice comeback. Twins have to bank wins against bad teams and they have been doing just that. Hopefully Ober keeps it going today with a good outing...and one that goes into the sixth or even seventh.
  20. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Boras is a dinosaur. This isn't 2003 when you have the Yankees handing out silly money. The market is set early on in the off-season. Very difficult to re-set that market when its only a handful of players that are looking for mega contracts - and in some cases, those players don't deserve that kind of money.
  21. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    C4 is on fire. Hopefully he keeps it up.
  22. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    At this point, and take from this what you will, but Manny Margot is the least of the team's problems right now.
  23. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    There is 0% chance that Camargo unseats Vazquez this season.
  24. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I know I sound like a broken record - but if the Twins fired Popkins today, is there another MLB team that would hire him? His resume and track record are non-existent.
  25. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    It is becoming a recurring theme. Minor league talent reaches the majors, gets off to a great start, struggles, and then is either benched or demoted. It doesn't take MLB pitchers too long to make adjustments. Good hitters make the counter adjustments. Royce Lewis is the outlier. The rest of the Twins' young players do not seem capable of making those counter adjustments. I wonder why that is...
