    If I'm not mistaken, the revenue sharing in MLB is comparable to the NBA. The salary caps do nothing but make sure the billionaire owners get wealthier instead of passing that revenue to the labor.

    "to whom the Twins had to trade Johan Santana nearly two decades ago." The Twins didn't have to. They decided not to pay a player fair market value so decided to trade him and try to recoup some value from him. The Pohlads could have paid him and not noticed any difference in their quality of life for generations.

    Billionaires exploiting the working class is independent of a laborer getting paid a fair market value. Mets swept the Yankees last season and took the Dodgers to 6. Soto chose the better team and organization.

    The billionaire dgaf. It's all worth it if they win one world series, having made Yankees fans already cry these last twelve hours.

    The front office should release monthly financial statements so we can cheer on the team the same way they do.

    This is egregious erasure of a long tenured Twin. I don't think it's particularly insurmountable to lose Max but he's still a good player that won't be there next season.
  7. NYCTK
    Don't forget, they lost their starting 1B and RF. So the Twins aren't just running it back. They're demonstrably worse.

    Stevie loves the Mets and wants to see them win the World Series, financial statements be damned.

    Yankees fans coming to grips with this realization is the rest of the world's Schadenfreude today 😍
  10. NYCTK
    As they should. Obviously not the most important thing, but get the bag. But also, the Mets were better than the Yankees last season.
  11. NYCTK
    They're really, really bad at their jobs then.
  12. NYCTK
    The fact that the Minnesota Twins have fans asking if they should trade a fairly valuable player that makes a relatively modest $6 Million salary and is in no way hindering anyone behind him or is in anyway an excess, well, that's Stockholm Syndrome baby.
  13. NYCTK
    Something they failed to do last year, and they've gotten worse (so far) with fans hoping to trade away salary in hopes of signing a budget veteran like Mark Canha. I'd likely take the over on 75 wins, but I think I'm taking the under on 80 right now.

    Twins will read the room and sign a deal with UnitedHealthcare...

    They won 82 games in the division featuring the worst team in MLB history. Their run differential was -33 against teams that weren't the White Sox. They played like a 77 win team in those games. And they're losing their starting RF and 1B and are still allegedly over budget. They do have some players that could feasibly perform better in 2025 like you said. But they have as many that could perform worse. I'll take the under on Buxton at 100 games. I'll take the under on Wallner 0.389 BABIP but at least his likely additional playing time should make his actual value a wash. Hopefully. I'm just saying, this team is way closer to being a 75 win team than a 90 win team. And if you're not aiming to at least be a 90 win team, you should be more concerned with future seasons than hoping fans buy into a mediocre product.

    I think people are underestimating how mediocre this team is right now and how high the hill is in order to actually make them respectable considering we know the Pohlads are cheapass and don't want to invest any more in their asset. This team IS a 75 win team as constructed right now. And the effort to build them up to a 90 win team in one offseason with zero dollars to spend is a Herculean task. The fans are already lost as we saw at the end of last season, so what's the real risk in a proper rebuild phase? But we know the Twins are always half measure so we should expect them to shoot for 84 wins and be shocked that no fans are excited by the league's most mediocre franchise.

    Kirby played twice as much, at a much more important defensive position with much better defense. In comparison we have people wondering if Royce can even play 3rd or if he should be viewed as a 1B or even a DH going forward. If that's actually the discussion, I'm perfectly fine trading away Royce.
  18. NYCTK
    It's not already. He's 26 in '25. He is who we think he is. Bad to mediocre defense, albeit at many positions. No power. On base skills that do not translate to major league pitching. The only thing I can imagine is him getting a bit more comfortable and the BB rate increasing slightly. But that just bumps him up from unplayable to replacement level. Zero upside with him and happy to just see him bounce up and down until they are able to replace him with anyone that possesses a decent glove.
  19. NYCTK
    The fact of the matter is the Twins farm system isn't deep enough. The prospects they'd be trading are good enough for teams wanting to trade away payroll burdens, not cost controlled talent. And we all know the Twins aren't gonna take on half of a hefty salary.
  20. NYCTK
    Yep. This organization has been bad at both roster construction and utilization. Other than that, the decision makers are doing fantastic...
  21. NYCTK
    Sure. But you're forgetting half the equation. Even though I think people are dramatically overstating Keirseys defense, we know for a fact that Austin is very bad in the OF. Not to mention his baseball IQ seemed to be single digits.
  22. NYCTK
    I mostly agree with this. He was deserving of a chance not because he was exceptional down in the minors, but because the Twins other options were clearly bad and IMO obviously worse.
  23. NYCTK
    I'm just saying that you (and maybe someone else) have brought up the fact he wasn't selected in the rule 5 draft as some sort of exoneration of the twins view of him. I'm just saying that's an extremely weak argument. There were a grand total of two position players selected last year.
  24. NYCTK
    If you only care about finances, shooting for 82 wins is a less risky way to make money. But as the twins have learned, that upsets fans and erodes your fan base and now their finances suck anyways. Hard to feel bad for them! Hopefully the pohlads lose a good $100 million annually on the team. That'd be nice.
  25. NYCTK
    There's no reason to think he'll get a real chance when they gave him 14 PAs in a season Margot led the team in OF appearances.
