    No real chance at the current location on that footprint, and retractable roofs are almost always hideous monstrosities. Not at all worth the $100M+ it would have cost, even if possible.

    When a billionaire asks for financial assistance it's capitalism, but when poor people do it, it's socialism. Go figure.
  3. NYCTK
    MSP should let the Twins leave if the billionaires that own them try to extort the local government like they have previously and the Athletics did to Oakland. Taking money away from the people to give to billionaires is the exact opposite of what should be done.

    We sure about that? I'm being a bit catty, as that is the weird minor league park with unique lighting. But Larnach has only ever been a bad LF, marginally better than Wallner.
  5. NYCTK
    Twins fans maligning of Gallo is both understandable, and unwarranted. At the end of their respective careers, he's quite possibly been a better player than all of; Larnach, Wallner, Lee, and heck, even Royce Lewis. I for one am cheering him on in his attempt to reinvent himself as a pitcher. The reverse Ankiel. Unlikely but would be really damn cool.
  6. NYCTK
    No no no. Bat only players are NOT the exact type of player they should be looking to add.
  7. NYCTK
    He's a fine hitter. But he's a DH. Do you wish to build a team around a DH? Now, it's possible he's not worth much on the trade market and he's better than a AA non-prospect, so it wouldn't make sense to dump him for the sake of dumping him.

    I'm sorry that I haven't scoured the top ten prospect lists of every single team that would be in the market for adding a top of the bullpen arm in 6 weeks time and put together an exact prospect package to your liking. I am concretely saying that they should trade Duran at the deadline, particularly in the hopes of receiving a BETTER package than the Marlins received for Tanner Scott. They are on about equal footing as players, and unless I'm mistaken Duran still has two years of control remaining. I am all in favor of a rebuild, not a half assed retooling. Which means 2026 should be considered a bit of a lost season and you hope on 2027. And frankly, closers are super finicky and Duran could be absolute junk come 2027 on top of being pretty useless in 2026 on another bad team. The argument some are giving against this sort of move, that Falvey should not be trusted to make any significant trades, is something that I cannot take seriously, because that's just an argument for the entire organization to just sit in the A/C until a sale to new ownership is complete. What's the risk? That the bad team becomes worse and fan interest, at a 25 year low, falls lower?

    You needn't specify exact prospect targets to express that trading someone like Duran might be wise. I too think they should trade him, if not before the deadline in the offseason. Look at what Miami received for Tanner Scott last year. That was a great trade for Miami, and he had an expiring contract. And why is watching a 77 win team preferable to watching a 62 win team? I'd rather a team be a 62 win team with an actual plan than woefully mediocre in perpetuity which is the Twins MO at the present time.

    I've essentially been there since July 31st, 2024.
  11. NYCTK
    Completely unfair to Gallo. He was a decent center fielder in his prime. Wallner is one of the worst outfielders in all of baseball in his.
  12. NYCTK
    Actually, the Tigers could use assistance on the left side of the infield if they wanted to really go for it.
  13. NYCTK
    That means diddly squat. The Athletics have way more history than the Twins, winning 4 WS in Oakland. But, on the other hand, part of that history is their constant movement, now in their 4th city, going on 5.
  14. NYCTK
    Makes sense. Things are going great from a business standpoint. They drew nearly 18 thousand tonight on a beautiful summer evening. . . . ...I'm being told that's bad actually.
  15. NYCTK
    As dumb as the "don't do slumps" thing was for Royce, this is actually where he lost me last year.
  16. NYCTK
    I don't? That's a surprise to me, listening to the 2002 ALCS in high school during class with a wire running up by back. Let's be completely honest, the 2009 163, which is still the best game I've ever been at, was no worse than a Wild Card Series victory.
  17. NYCTK
    Feel like this was inevitable. Wallner was never going to be a savior and fans got way too excited about him based on his local boy bona fides more than his skills. He's never going to be a good player cause he's simply terrible in the field and not special enough of a hitter to be valuable as a DH. Great trade candidate. A team in the hunt with a bench space will over pay for someone like him.
  18. NYCTK
    I agree, he's not a failure. But I understand the frustration based on expectations of a high-ish 1st round pick. If you want to cheap, decent infielder, great. But you can buy get those on the market for fairly cheap anyways. He's not a great athlete, and has no star potential. While he can still improve some, it seems like he maxes out as a 2 WAR player if things go well. Cost control is great, and so many 1st rounders flame out completely, but hard to get excited about a 1st rounder that has a best case as a decent player that you can see hitting 7th on a good team.

    My guy! MLB.TV is $30 a month or if you're in the Minnesota market, Twins TV is $20!

    This is a terrible way to build a baseball team. EVERY team has injuries. If you require your team to be a near perfect 100% health in order to just compete for a playoff spot (something that isn't even hard to do) you have a loser organization.
  21. NYCTK
    Twins fans have to stop referring to a 2023 Wild Card Series victory as some sort of real accomplishment. It was nice, but celebrating it as if it was meaningful is just sad. Like a Vikings fan praising the 2019 team because they beat the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card game.
  22. NYCTK
    Completely agree. This and last season both. Twins have been a healthier than average team. Anyone that uses injuries as an excuse for this team is no worse using the position of mercury in the astrological tables as an excuse.
  23. NYCTK
    He 100% should have been fired immediately after last season. But every other coach was offered up instead.
  24. NYCTK
    There is near zero risk of losing fan interest. They drew 21K on a Sunday against a team that typically has a large visiting crowd. For comparison they drew 36K last year against the Brewers Sunday game.
  25. NYCTK
    I admit I laughed heartily watching Larnach watch a fastball down the middle. He's a two pitch pitcher, how are you that lost?
