    Fun Fact: It can be both. It's silly because he's an incredible CF and should be playing CF. But the team has a surplus of OF they want to get playing time and repositioning the roster in order to get them all playing time helps the team.
  2. NYCTK
    He can bounce up and down as long as he has options. But no. I would be shocked to see him get to 200 PAs in his career.
  3. NYCTK
    They at least won 90 games. Something this incredible core didn't even manage.

    Well, their daddy tried. But they're billionaires and everyone know if you're rich that automatically means you're smarter and better than poor people. So you should probably just be quiet and worship them for allowing us to live in their world.
  5. NYCTK
    Well, the people in charge of this website still believe it. So it's clearly coming from somewhere.
  6. NYCTK
    I'm being realistic and not planning on the team being competitive next year either. 2027 guys. The vision is there. The path is there.

    We have to stop with this BS excuse that position flexibility hurts a player. Brooks Lee is a fine player, not trying to **** on him, but he's not struggled because he's been asked to play all three infield positions. And this idea that him playing SS today HURTS the team is very obviously wrong.
  8. NYCTK
    ...also the Los Angeles Dodgers. How'd that go for them?

    Where did this incredible marketing slogan come from? All of Falvey's praise seems entirely unearned.

    The Red Sox really should trade one of their OF. It's so silly to have one of the league's best defensive CF playing 2B. Also, a baseball player that has moved around the field quite a lot in his career, now playing 2B despite having very limited playing time there in his career. Almost as if a good baseball player can move down the defensive spectrum and do that and all these excuses for Brooks Lee at the position are kind of ridiculous. Also, position flexibility in a baseball player helps a team, which is good, not bad. As hard as it is for some people here to grasp.

    A sale of the team would help, and we underestimate how dynamic baseball is way more fun to watch than THIS. This Twins team is just so hard to watch. I'm reminded of the 2001 Twins. They weren't quite ready to compete with the top teams, but they were so fun to watch compared to the late 90s Twins.

    I'd still be surprised to see him in the first couple months of 2026, but I would be shocked if he doesn't get a real chance next year. I want to be as forgiving to all of Jenkins, Rodriguez, and Culpepper as they continue their development so I have very low expectations for them next season. But I really can see this being a much more dynamic, exciting team and a real challenger in 2027. Much like we saw in their transition in 2000 and 2001.
  13. NYCTK
    Stop worshipping billionaires.

    He could be called up to AAA at any time if they wanted to be aggressive with him, but I wouldn't expect to see him as a September callup. He's not on the 40 man yet and there's no real value in doing so for the rest of the season.
  15. NYCTK
    I could see a handful of one year deals in what I absolutely believe to be a transition year in 2026. Thinks could work out and go well, or they could see them selling off a bunch of players in exactly one year's time and then getting to the next era of Twins baseball with Jenkins, Culpepper, et al. Win-win.

    Carlos Correa has been paid about $140 Million to produce 10.4 WAR and win one playoff series. He's been an absolute bust of an investment. The remaining 3 yrs and $96 Million on his contract would be so much better spent elsewhere and with this team having to do a reset, big or small, of their roster, getting rid of Correa is the PERFECT solution. Plus, I've never liked him as a player.
  17. NYCTK
    This team is really bad. I'm not saying it has be destroyed and built from the ground up, but this team needs a LOT of work to be a contender.
  18. NYCTK
    If you're covering half of the remaining $108 million, maybe. But you're not getting Spencer Jones for Correa straight up. You're getting a nominal prospect for Correa, not a team's best.
  19. NYCTK
    If they're able to trade away Correa, that is the "rebuild" that I'm excited about.
  20. NYCTK
    It is also really curious how he seems to be stuck in the late 90s-early 00s thinking of dismissing defensive value. I guess, it could be a decent strategy if defense were being overvalued but, then again he's also the guy that hired Andrelton Simmons for over $10 million, so I really don't know. It's just so frustrating - and I'd say it's telling - how seemingly every Twins player thats come up in his regime has been inadequate defensively.
  21. NYCTK
    I think Falvey has a real problem with internal talent evaluation. I think he really believes his players are significantly better than they are. I believe him when he says he thinks this team has the talent to be a contender. It explains why he hasn't done anything for two and a half years to supplement the existing roster and explains why they haven't traded much with other organizations.
  22. NYCTK
    Restricting your ask to MLB ready players really reduces your outlook. Chicago isn't adding right now. But you can try to make that trade in the offseason if you want.
  23. NYCTK
    True. Never underestimate the greed of a billionaire.
  24. NYCTK
    Overpay is 2 top 100 prospects and 2 other bubbling under prospects/young players. That's more than Padres paid last year for Tanner Scott but not leaps and bounds more. I would frankly LOVE selling all of Duran, Jax, Stewart, Coulombe, and Topa for a large collection of prospects that turn the Twins 10th best prospect (CJ Culpepper) into their 18th best prospect. But I am a big anti-bullpen investment guy on mediocre teams. A competent farm system should be turning out Varlands every year.
  25. NYCTK
    This is true, but also pushes back the next window. So the return would arguably the same, but a year later. Meaning that AA player you get in return will be able to help in 2028 instead of 2027. As much grief as I give this organization, the farm isn't terrible and if Buxton is sticking around and you want to build around him, I think targeting 2027 as the year of competition does make sense. Buxton at 33 and Correa at 32 is about the end of their expected usefulness. But the wave of top prospects at 22-24 meaning a few (or more!) will be able to step up. Next season is too much pressure on those prospects to contribute, and 2028 is risking both Buxton and Correa being too old to offer any value at all. Of course, we would hope the front office is able to augment the roster but I'm looking to 2027 as the year. Minnesota Twins, 2027 World Series Champions.
