    This is the funniest thing. The Twins have spent less than $10 M on FA this offseason, and only $45 M in player investment total, 24th in baseball and last in the AL Central. Yet many fans here are working out napkin math in order to save the billionaires a few dollars on the margins. All based on vague comments about payroll. I can't imagine fretting this much about money in another entertainment industry. 'Denis Villenueve cast Anya Taylor Joy for a cameo?! What does this mean for the sound department?! WB have to fire Austin Butler, they can't afford his fee now.'

    Yes. He was a valuable player as the 4th OF in the playoffs. Less because he wasn't good - he's exactly who everyone thinks he is - but more because the 4th OF Tyrone Taylor had played himself into the starting role. There's not a single Mets fan that would have been mad for him to come back, and his replacement is just a better fielding lesser hitting player of the same archetype. But that's as a starter, not the 4th OF which is almost certainly what Baders role is with the Twins.
  3. NYCTK
    Just wrong.
  4. NYCTK
    Wasn't the money. And you guys would have jumped out a window if Falvey brought in Siri. Anyone mad about Bader, quite frankly, don't know ball.
  5. NYCTK
    They decided to make a better deal, trading a Scott Blewett type for a Harrison Bader type. David Stearns is the man. I'd say it's pretty fair to say Harrison Bader is a better hitter and worse defender than Jose Siri. Mets fans are happy with Siri and were very happy with Bader. Sad that Mets fans have lesser standards than the mighty Twins.

    If Bader wasn't supplanting Austin Martin, this argument might hold water. Harrison Bader was the starting CF for an NLCS team last year and you folks are acting like he's a bum because he's taking playing time away from the kids. Were the 2024 Mets and the highest paid GM in baseball stupid to have Harrison Bader play 140 games in CF?

    So many here seem to have forgotten this.
  8. NYCTK
    No. They absolutely could not have. This isn't a video game. You understand the players have agency, right? Pete Alonso wanted to remain a Met. And Boras worked out a deal to allow him to do so for a bit longer.
  9. NYCTK
    You don't think the Twins signing a CF backup and general 4th OF affects last years primary backup CF and this years presumed 4th OF? K. What kids are you all talking about? Theres Rodriguez. And...

    What I'm seeing is lots of people here freaking out over a small free agent contract that improves the team because of assumptions they've made about the Twins budget based on vague comments to Aaron Gleeman.
  11. NYCTK
    It's 100% a baseball move to improve the team on the field.
  12. NYCTK
    Had? Did Trump get rid of Elon?
  13. NYCTK
    The past also tells us he's a career .250 hitter in the minors. Just like everyone's favorite player Joey Gallo.
  14. NYCTK
    Yes. Very likely actually. If you're striking out in over 35% of your PAs your average is going to be very low.
  15. NYCTK
    Alonso was NEVER signing with the Twins. And you're not going to get a hard payroll commitment during the offseason so you guys can play armchair GM more fittingly. Y'all are demanding impossibilities.
  16. NYCTK
    You're demanding a high average from Bader while advocating the Twins play Rodriguez who would likely hit under 220.
  17. NYCTK
    Not really. Last year Emmanuel Rodriguez was a consensus top 62 prospect and this year top 37. Merrill ranked no lower than 22nd and 17th in his two years before the show. Clearly an intriguing prospect, but a LOT of question marks about if his approach will play at the major league level.
  18. NYCTK
    No one owes the welfare queen Pohalds anything.
  19. NYCTK
    Thankfully, I don't care.
  20. NYCTK
    No he can't.

    Sorry I saw the 2024 Twins for what they were. A bad team undeserving of limping into the playoffs and getting swept. Many here apparently hate the Twins way more than I do. I actually enjoyed seeing them improve yesterday and some of you all got upset they didn't spend their limited resources in the very narrow way you desired. OK. Fire Rocco. Fire Falvey. The Twins gave out a below league average non-controlled contract to a decent player that, without a doubt, improves the team in important ways and folks here are freaking out because they don't trust anyone in the organization to use him in a way they don't hate.
  22. NYCTK
    Mets! Mets! Mets!
  23. NYCTK
    No offense, but I won't be listening to the opinion on whether someone is a good baseball player or not from someone that just said that they don't care about half of the game of baseball.
  24. NYCTK
    Hey man, if you're selling this season for future seasons that's an entirely different argument and I'm not opposed to that strategy either. I was under the impression people here wanted to improve the 2025. That's my bad.
  25. NYCTK
    Well. There should be a new owner by June. Maybe they'll do everyone a favor and fire Rocco and Falvey mid season. Fingers crossed!
