    Aim for 82 wins and hope you get lucky. That's the Twins Way.

    Honestly. This is even further positioning the Mets as THE team in NYC. I'd argue that this was the case last season as well, but this is just driving it home. Cohen sees that $7.5B valuation of the Yankees and knows there's no reason his measly $2.4B Mets can't match them. This contract does a lot in helping bridge that divide. Gotta win the World Series to truly make it happen. We'll see.

    The Atlanta Braves were such fools to move John Smoltz back to the starting rotation. He was so dominant when he came back from injury as a reliever. Arguably the best reliever in all of baseball. And he was there for four seasons, there's no guarantee he could even stretch out that long, especially since he's older. I just don't see why they would mess with a 96 win team by doing this...

    Cool. The Twins look like a 76-82 win team that can't actually compete and with no real chance to add pieces to improve. I mean...even the White Sox fans can say this. You don't build a mediocre team and then cross your fingers that you get every single lucky break.
  5. NYCTK
    Do you think the path to a better record is losing their RF, 1B, and then running it back? Sorry, but Carlos Correa doesn't fit into a cheap ass organization.
  6. NYCTK
    Standing pat is waving the white flag. This team is currently bad and the ownership's refusal to invest in the team means it can't get better without creativity.
  7. NYCTK
    Presumably Brooks Lee. Could bring in someone like Jose Iglesias too.
  8. NYCTK
    Have to. Since the pohlads are so cheap, they never should have signed the contract in the first place. Don't expect much in return either. There's very little surplus value in that deal.

    Happy to cheer for an underdog story. But you'll have to excuse me for not buying into billionaires excuses of not spending money because they can't afford it. Lose 100 million like Steve if you want to go for it. What the hell does it matter?
  10. NYCTK
    Cohen sees the Yankees valuation 5 billion higher than the Mets and rightfully (imo) believes there's no reason that gap can't be closed. Spending 750 million to close a 5 billion valuation gap is good business. The Mets are not second fiddle to the Yankees in NYC. In the suburbs, nationwide, in hat sales to people that don't know what the NY even stands for, sure, but the Mets can bridge that gap too.

    "It merely proves that the surplus value on Correa's deal is considerable, even in the wake of a second straight season marred by plantar fasciitis." And this is a very dubious claim. Correa is no Soto, obviously, but comparing him to the recently signed SS Adames seems more appropriate. They both have 10.4 bWAR in their last 3 seasons. Adames is one year younger, so the 7 years, $182M isn't quite apples to Correa's 4-$133M but let's take: Adames 6-156 Correa 4-133 Honestly there doesn't seem to be much, if any, surplus value there. The risk is manageable for a large club but to claim its a steal is just foolish.

    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.
  14. NYCTK
    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.
  15. NYCTK
    The billionaire dgaf. It's all worth it if they win one world series, having made Yankees fans already cry these last twelve hours.
  16. NYCTK
    The front office should release monthly financial statements so we can cheer on the team the same way they do.
  17. NYCTK
    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.
  18. NYCTK
    Don't forget, they lost their starting 1B and RF. So the Twins aren't just running it back. They're demonstrably worse.
  19. NYCTK
    Stevie loves the Mets and wants to see them win the World Series, financial statements be damned.
  20. NYCTK
    Yankees fans coming to grips with this realization is the rest of the world's Schadenfreude today 😍
  21. 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.
  22. NYCTK
    They're really, really bad at their jobs then.
  23. 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.
  24. 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...
