    Fans who purchased season tickets did so with the assumption that the Twins would field a full Major League roster for the whole season. That's not what they're going to get for the next 2 solid months. In a way it's fraud.

    The Pohlads are purring like contented kittens.
  3. Nshore
    Good tickets are still available for the stretch run.

    I thought Major League baseball prohibited this kind of wholesale gutting of a team.
  5. Nshore
    What a crazy mess. Somebody's going to show up for the wrong team.

    I'm 70 years old but I'm a lefty and could probably pitch an inning or so during garbage time if they need it - and they will need it.

    I haven't been a Pohlad basher BUT it does feel like they're trashing the place before slamming the exit door shut - which is particularly galling since taxpayers have financed the stadium and enhanced the value of their investment - probably by hundreds of millions of dollars.

    The Twins are seldom in the hunt for top tier free agents anyway. And if it hinders them from signing a Correa or a Donaldson, that doesn't seem like a bad thing.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with aggressive hitters. Quite the contrary. They've neutered Wallner and Larnach to such an extent that I get so frustrated I practically have to bite down on a towel to watch them hit.

    It seems like just yesterday I was yelling "Let's Go Twins" with a packed Target Field crowd while they beat the Blue Jays in the playoffs. It's shocking how fast it has all fallen apart to the point of back filling positions with anybody they can find.

    Next up - Correa to Houston for a flying squirrel and some baseline chalk.
  12. Nshore
    That was my question. Unless they're going to move Ryan too, and feel they won't even need a closer for a couple years.

    I'm going to have to drastically improve my diet and exercise if I'm going to live long enough to ever see the Twins contend again.

    I like the trade. The Twins thought so little of Paddock's future that they were willing to trade him within the division, which says something. And they made an attempt to fill a glaring need in the organization. All kinds of nefarious motivations can be projected onto the owners, but we really don't know what goes on behind the scenes. On paper the trade makes perfect sense. Extra credit for shedding Dobnak.

    If they have an opportunity to move Correa they should take it. Put Lee at SS and move on. Having two brittle players like Buxton and Correa as the core of the team is never going to work. Buxton has been better this year, but that's an exception. They're not getting any younger and Correa's production is already declining.

    Baseball's a tough business. They work so hard to put together a quality pen, and the second they achieve it, they have to get to work dismantling it.

    I know this is a little off the subject, but they wouldn't have to buy or sell if they could get more out of their current hitters. Their hitters seem unbelievably passive. They must lead the league in taking strike one down the middle. In the Bomba years, they were much more aggressive early in the count. I don't know if the current approach is by incompetent design, or just lack of talent. That's my rant for the day.
  18. Nshore
    Whether it's Ryan or other players, there probably will be major changes. They just lost 2 of 3 to the lowly Rockies, and now they look equally disinterested against the lowly Nationals. When they had Gray, Lopez, and Ryan at the top of the rotation they could compete. But owners/management are unwilling or unable to sustain that level of talent.
  19. Nshore
    Pitching is the name of the game, and Ryan, Jax, and Duran are cornerstone pieces of a winner. No way should they be traded away for suspects, I mean prospects. It may sound crazy, but I think they still have a chance to squeak into the playoffs. Keaschall is the type of player, once they get him back, that may give the whole line up a spark. Falvey should do nothing at the trade deadline.
  20. Nshore
    More important than the AAA numbers for Wallner is whether he has shown enough that indicates he would have at least some sort of chance against Major League off speed stuff. He was totally helpless when sent down.
