    Well after losing a half a billion dollars on the Twins the Pohlads need a break. I think they sell off further. There is no way they plan to put a winning team on the field in 26.

    The base running after the trade deadline was a message from Rocco that he was going to do things his way. I wonder what it would have been like if he was allowed to do things his way the whole 7 year tenure. Might have been quite a bit different.

    Well at least we now know there is some money available “when the time is right”. I know some think that the new minority owners are going to help bring some money in to get this right again. I personally believe that the new owners likely don’t give two flips about the team winning and are only interested in their return on investment. Consequently I see some post season trades being made that will get payrolls down much further still. I don’t think there is a plan by ownership to put even a competitive team on the field the next two seasons. I am sorry that is just what I see.

    The Pohlads claim they have now lost a half billion dollars on the twins. Hard to believe right and they still own the team. It’s really hard to trust people that lie to you.
  5. Glorybound
    The sad part if the story is ownership thinks they are good at what they do.
  6. Glorybound
    This franchise has never been farther from a parade than today. Ownership will have to change to direct the ship on a course for a championship. If that doesn’t happen I hate to tell you but more seasons like this last one are in the future. “Right sizing” the payroll will continue next season and beyond.

    It would take an extraordinary over pay for Ryan to sign an extension with the Twins.
  8. Glorybound
    So much bigger problems than the manager. Since he was extended for next season might as well see it through it is not like the team is a contender for the division title.
  9. Glorybound
    That’s a lot of what ifs. Likely something good will come from the young talent pool but reality says cost cutting continues. Sands hasn’t been right for last 10 days which makes me wonder if he isn’t pitching hurt. Lopez came out last night with forearm tightness, the Festa injury likely is career threatening and on and on we go. Really hard for me to see much light at end of the tunnel for the next season. 100 losses looks like a lock for next year.
  10. Glorybound
    All kidding aside. Would it not be better to just cancel the 26 season for the Twins? Just give everyone a w that is on the schedule. Really hard to see anything good coming. Looking forward to a 100 loss season is just hard for me I guess.
  11. Glorybound
    I wouldn’t give up on Mathews as a starter just yet. I don’t see a scenario where Lopez is not traded. A far as Festa is concerned it sounds like his career is in serious doubt do to Thorasic Outlet Syndrome.
  12. Glorybound
    So we have expanded rosters and we are a non playoff team and we have position players pitching. I don’t get it, I just don’t get it. And Monday was an off day.
  13. Glorybound
    So I get it the only way to determine value of a young promising starting pitcher is ERA. Your logic follows the gm and ownership well. The progression Ryan has made is more than a stat line will ever measure. Look inside an individual and see the competitive nature they have and little bit at someone’s ability to learn and improve. Statistics are nice but sometimes winners are necessary to acquire if you want a winning team. Joe Ryan has the makeup to be a winner for whichever team he plays for.
  14. Glorybound
    No the Twins will not get any bargains on Ryan today. The time to extend him has long., long passed by two years. Likely he is traded this off season. Hopefully they don’t get a Johann Santana type of return.
  15. Glorybound
    Joe Musgrave was extended 5 yrs. Sonny Gray was extended before the Twins acquired him. Pablo Lopez was extended back when their ownership was trying to win. Those are a few that I know of. It can be done but not if you are not counting pennies.
  16. Glorybound
    Joe Ryan has not been injury prone. If the organization was worth 2 cents he would have signed an extension already and this conversation would be nuts.
  17. Glorybound
    All well and good but it wouldn’t be a shock to hear him request a trade. With no defense or bullpen behind him right now his teammates are costing him money in arbitration. The fact that his name was tossed around in deadline trade deals does nothing to help the organization either. There are times when even the good guys draw a line in the sand and say “get me the he!! Out of here”.
  18. Glorybound
    The value of a team acquiring Joe Ryan is more than just a great pitcher with 2 yrs left. It’s the potential to be able to extend that said contract much like the Twins did with Pablo. Likely Ryan would sign an extension with a solid team.
  19. Glorybound
    I don’t see ownership adding anything of substance to current payroll. Subtracting is far more likely. After seeing the results of the trade deadline deals this team will be in the AL central basement for at least the next 2 seasons.
  20. Glorybound
    For those who have been pining to see Adams and Hatch and co. Don’t let your eyes deceive you. Nothing to see here.
  21. Glorybound
    I wonder if we can at least win more games than the Rockies next season? Clearly we have fallen behind the White Sox.
  22. Glorybound
    The Pohlads misdirection about selling the team will NEVER be forgotten. Not next year or the year after. NEVER NEVER ever.
  23. Glorybound
    Our leadership (owners included) have taken us below the White Sox. Congrats you should be proud.
  24. Glorybound
    At least Cole Sands should be fresh for tomorrow. Maybe we will have a bigger lead to protect then. I just don’t see Topa as a high leverage reliever going into next season. Too much contact for the late innings.
  25. Glorybound
    No because I don’t believe they will be with the team in 26. I don’t trust that they will get requisite talent for them in the trades that send them away.
