    "There's no evidence that Carl foreclosed on homes during the great depression" Goes on to state he delivered foreclosure notices during the great depression. I think it is exaggerated, because that's clearly not how he gained his wealth. But he foreclosed on homes during the great depression. And the idea that he was hired because he was a big intimidating young man seems logical. But overall, good summary of his evil nature in business. May the man rot.

    Not Boras's decision to make. Like I said, it's as useful talking about the Twins signing Soto. What is actually interesting is NEXT offseason, and a new obscenely rich owner perhaps deciding he wants to overpay to bring in a different (and better) first baseman Vlad Jr. We know he hates the Yankees and doesn't want to play for them, so that makes it more interesting for the rest of the league.

    There's no contract that the Twins will offer that the Mets don't match. BTW it's looking like 3 years $100 with annual opt outs.
  4. NYCTK
    Well, the the range of outcomes also includes a season where Wallner hits 200, Festa needs TJ, SWR has a 5.7 ERA, etc etc and the Twins win 70.
  5. NYCTK
    He's not signing with the Twins. This is no less irrational than hoping Soto would have signed with the Twins.
  6. NYCTK
    69-79 against teams that weren't literally the worst team in mlb history.
  7. NYCTK
    Frankly, too few.
  8. NYCTK
    Fangraphs.

    Outside of Brooks Lee, that's not even true. We'll see if he's able to earn a full time position in 2025. Martin, Castro, and Farmer were utility players whose entire job it is to move around the field. And Miranda just wasn't good enough to earn a full time spot anywhere so he was slotted in occasionally out of position once he lost his spot at 3rd. There's no enough spots on the roster for every player to have one set position. And the Dodgers showed that position versatility is a huge asset, not some detriment to the players and team.

    Alonso. And he's not signing with the Twins.

    More depth? Where? OF they lost Kepler and Margot (no loss there) but added...Emmanuel Rodriguez in the mid summer potentially? IF they lost Santana, Kiriloff, and Farmer and added...Mickey Gasper? Starting rotation is pretty deep, but was last year too. This team was mediocre, if not outright bad, last year and have made no effort to improve other than cross their fingers.
  12. NYCTK
    I'd say this is the reason. There's no real public interest so there's not much in terms of reporters inquiring.
  13. NYCTK
    I get what you're saying but this specific wording makes me laugh. I think the multi billionaires will be OK without any of our money.
  14. NYCTK
    There's no economic reason. There's no incentive. This fear is 100% unwarranted.
  15. NYCTK
    I can appreciate the desire to have the conversation. I just think it is entirely a waste of time. You get rid of him, ok, and then you have to pay his replacement. I know backup catchers are cheaper than other positions, but they're not nothing. And who's to say they'd be as good/dependable as the 31st best catcher in baseball last season? How many games did he play in the 2023 playoffs?
  16. NYCTK
    A row? Such restraint. Well done!
  17. NYCTK
    Are you paying the Pohald's 10 million for his salary? If we're being completely honest the only reason you have an issue with our backup catcher is because the Pohlads are cheap and you're desperately trying to cut payroll on their behalf. As it is, it's not actually easy to both move him and his salary and then replace his decent production (for a backup catcher).
  18. NYCTK
    Of course not, but I also try to remain honest about them. Even if I'm the most down on Wallner on the entire website, I don't mind the guy. Same with Royce, although his clubhouse issues are concerning to me going forward. And he is. He's a perfectly fine backup catcher, of which he is one. The ironic thing is I'm not even a fan of his.
  19. NYCTK
    Sounds like your issue should be with Baldelli and/or Jeffers, not the backup catcher Vazquez. And you're saying he's even better than I am, the 22nd best catcher. Pretty good for someone that "isn't an MLB catcher" if we're being honest.
  20. NYCTK
    Especially a backup catcher. Most fans can't even name their team's backup catcher. And even so, Vazquez was 31st in the league last year in fWAR amongst the 60 catchers with at least 100 PAs. It's not his fault the Twins gave him an over market contract and their owner's are such cheap losers that the fans are fretting over $10 million in expenses in an $11 B industry.
  21. NYCTK
    Well, as we know the Twins aren't particularly interested in that. So we're good.
  22. NYCTK
    This comes as a huge shock to Vazquez who has caught nearly 7000 innings in MLB.
  23. NYCTK
    I think everyone should ignore Gasper as C as you did Farmer as C.
  24. NYCTK
    Twins league rank in fWAR and wRC+ SS: 6th 4th CF: 6th 3rd 3B: 16th 10th
  25. NYCTK
    If we increase that threshold to just 105, he didn't. The guy can't stay on the field, there's nothing controversial to that statement. And thats true for the 2nd "most valuable" player on the team as well.
