    We don't hate our billionaire overlords enough actually. Eat The Rich.

    Maybe! We'll see. As is, I have the Twins payroll at about $133 million next season with arbitration estimates and guessing at non tenders. This is already a slight increase on this season without addressing any of the team's holes. And with attendance down and a laughable collapse, I don't think anyone expects payroll to increase, at least not significantly. We're going to see some unexpected moves, and I'm going to put a call on the Twins moving their closer. And at $3.5 mil, I don't think that's necessarily a bad baseball move.

    My god man. How you're still here arguing for something you have already said you wouldn't do is just mind blowing. We all agree Manuel Margot shouldn't be hitting leadoff but you insist on making a fool of yourself all in defense of the manager that does it. For some unknown reason. Yeah, Manuel Margot isn't the singular reason the Twins lost or collapsed in the last 6 weeks. I don't think anyone thinks that's the case. But it's emblematic of the problems of the organization. But you just crying "well akshually". It's almost like Carlos Correa has more of a track record than the 0.687 career OPS veteran. It's almost as if Margot being bad or on a cooler is reason enough not to lean on him in a must win game, and both being true makes it laughable. You weirdly demanded a lineup from me last night, so fine, here you go. With this team, I would also hit Correa leadoff against lefties.

    You're mistaken on the timeline. If you want to look at bWAR, Williams had been worth 5.0 and Duran has been worth 4.7. Like I said, they're pretty decent comps. Hard to find 1 to 1, but I can guarantee you that both the Twins and Duran's agent are thinking this as well. $3.3, two years later, with inflation I wouldn't be surprised to see his agent ask for $4m. I think ultimately they'll come in around 3.5M. We'll see!
  5. NYCTK
    Yes, I'm very confident he'll get more than $3 million actually. Devin Williams is a fairly decent comp and he made $3.3 in the 22-23 offseason. A good agent would actually push for more, seeing as Duran has been pretty vital in his career, finishing 96 games for the Twins compared to the (significantly better) Williams 29 at that point.
  6. NYCTK
    Yeah, I think Twins fans are in for a rude awakening on this contract. His body is seemingly a ticking time bomb at this point and the first 2 years of the contract should be the best outcomes. And we paid $12 mil per win. That's bad! And it's likely going to get worse! I am BAFFLED by the defense of the Pohlads I've seen by...anyone really. The fact that Carl's statue is able to exist without constantly getting smeared with feces is an indictment of Twins fans.
  7. NYCTK
    You're not wrong. How you sign Correa to that contract is baffling. $200 Million dollars guaranteed for a player that failed multiple physicals just weeks prior. You're a third of the way through the contract, paid $12 Million per win, and now he's on the wrong side of 30 with $130 Million still owed to him. Even if he wanted a trade, even if the Twins wanted to move him, there aren't more than a couple teams in baseball that would even consider taking on that contract.
  8. NYCTK
    Will need him in the bullpen after the twins trade away Duran due to his quadrupling salary next season.
  9. NYCTK
    The team run for 40 years by nepo babies and the mustache twirling evil billionaire archetype has a bad culture... I wonder the root of the problem?
  10. NYCTK
    No. I don't think I care to do that actually. Werido, looking at other people's reactions and demanding responses. I'd simply not lead off with a player that isn't a good hitter. But that's just me, being all judgemental of the infallible Twins Front Office and Rocco in an evening their 0.632 ops leadoff hitter went 0 for 3. Good night!
  11. NYCTK
    He doesn't have a singular skill. You've been duped by a sample of results into believing he has skill for some reason. His career ops leading off? Right around 700, not significantly different from his career ops. Unless you believe Rocco or Popkins or whomever suddenly taught him how to hit leadoff successfully while still sucking at hitting in every other situation.
  12. NYCTK
    Neither of us even want him on the team, yet here you are defending Rocco putting him in the leadoff spot? I'm not going to go through a full batting order when, again, you and I agree that Margot shouldn't be on the team. What's the point of me wasting my time on that nonsense?
  13. NYCTK
    Fun Fact: The person at the top of the order should be good because they will be receiving the most plate appeances. Who should be at the top of the order? Not the guy we both agree shouldn't even be on the team.
  14. NYCTK
    I don't care about the 100 PA sample size. He's not even that good against lefties. Something like career 0.750 ops. He's trash and only a bad manager would have him hitting leadoff in a meaningful game.
  15. NYCTK
    Throw the Twins in the NL, they might have 99 losses too.
  16. NYCTK
    He's a career 0.670 OPS guy. That line is a complete mirage.
  17. NYCTK
    Is contraction still on the table?
  18. NYCTK
    Joey Gallo gonna strike out to give the Royals a win.
  19. NYCTK
    And the top 100 prospect we got appears to be one of those that is only valuable as a trade piece. He took a big step back and will not be appearing on that list again.
  20. NYCTK
    With the season on life support, the big question now, will the Twins fail to produce a 70 RBI guy for the 3rd season in a row?
  21. NYCTK
    Who could have foreseen a player with bad defense and bad stick would be bad? Falvey and co baffled.
  22. NYCTK
    It's not like everyone that knows baseball has been calling on him to be cut since opening day. It came out of nowhere!
  23. NYCTK
    I watched it back too, and as much as I hate the guy, not many (if any) RF are getting to that ball.
  24. NYCTK
    Well, thankfully we have the incredible bat of Margot in the lead off spot 🙏
  25. NYCTK
    I assure you they can.
